오늘 영어표현은 make the cut또는 miss the cut입니다. If you make the cut, you reach a required standard or succeed in passing from one round of a competition to the next. On the other hand, if you miss the cut, you have failed to reach a required standard and you don’t advance to the next round of the competition. Miss the cut is basically the opposite meanings of ‘make the cut’. Make the cut은 특정 목표를 달성하다, 통과하다, 또는 성공하다 라는 뜻입니다. 반대로 miss the cut은 특정 목표를 달성하지 못하다, 실패하다 라는 뜻이고요. Here is an example. Robert trained very hard and managed to make the cut on the basketball team. 라고 하면 Robert은 열심히 훈련해서 농구팀에 들어갔다. 라는 뜻이 됩니다. 또 다를 예를 들어 보겠습니다. Wendy was extremely sad that she missed the cut to compete in the next tennis match.라고 하면 웬디는 그 다음 테니스 경기를 통과 못 해서 아주 마음 아파했다. 라는 뜻이 됩니다. Now you know what ‘make the cut’ or ‘miss the cut’ means right? Now let’s listen to the conversation for the last time.
