Bear in mind
Jason: I think I should ask Lisa to babysit my daughter for a few days.
Jen: Well, bear in mind that Lisa has never done that before. You should get an experienced babysitter.
Jason: Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind when I make a decision.

Lisa는 아이를 본 적이 없다는 점을 명심해. 차라리 경험 있는 사람을 구해봐.”라고 조언했습니다. Jason도 “Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind when I make a decision soon. 고마워. 곧 정해야 하는데, 명심할게.”라고 대답합니다.

Today’s expression is bear in mind. Bear in mind means to remember something when you are making decisions or thinking about a matter. 우리가 일상에서 꼭 기억하거나, 유념해야 하는 것들이 있죠. 이렇게 중요한 사실이나 정보 등을 잘 기억하라고 할 때 쓸 수 있는 영어 표현이 'bear in mind’입니다. 직역하면 '마음에 품다', 즉 명심하라는 뜻입니다.
In today’s example, I tell Jason to bear in mind that Lisa is not an experienced babysitter. 본문에서 제가 Jason한테 Lisa는 아이를 본 적이 없다는 사실을 명심하라고 했습니다. 영어로 “Well, bear in mind that Lisa has never done that before. You should get an experienced babysitter.”라고요. 이렇게 무엇을 알고 있어야 할 때, 또는 명심해야 할 때 쓸 수 있는 표현이 ‘bear in mind’ 입니다.
Now let me give you some example sentences using today’s expression. “Bear in mind that I won’t be home tomorrow so take your house keys with you.”는 “난 내일 집에 없을 거니까, 열쇠 챙기는 걸 꼭 기억해.”로 해석할 수 있습니다. Here is another example sentence. “Please bear in mind that we need to work as a team to get this done.”라는 문장을 해석하면 “우리가 함께 협력해야 이 일을 끝낼 수 있다는 걸 명심하세요.” 라는 뜻입니다. ‘Bear in mind’, 이 표현 잘 익혀두시고요. 오늘의 대화를 마지막으로 들어보겠습니다. Now that you know what today’s expression means, let’s listen to the conversation for the last time.
