안녕하세요 English with Yoo! 의 Jennifer Yoo입니다. English with Yoo! 는 일상생활에서 자주 쓰이는 다양한 표현들을 익히는 시간입니다.
제가 아파트 관리실 메니저와 함께 집 계약 문제와 관련해 이야기를 나누고 있었는데요, 아파트에 예전에 살다가 이사간 Tom이 관리실에 집 열쇠를 반납하러 왔습니다. I was in the middle of asking my apartment office manager, Paul, some questions about my apartment lease when a previous resident came to turn in his apartment keys. 그럼 먼저 Tom과 매니저가 나눈 대화를 들어보시겠습니다.
Today’s phrase is ‘better late than never’. Listen carefully!
Better late than never
Paul: I have your name on my desk and I’ve left you a message (voice message) once, but better late than never right?
Tom: Yes, that’s right. Do I owe you guys any money for the key?
Paul: Well, no because we got it here. We’ll deposit it (refundable housing security deposit) in about the end of next week I believe.
Paul: Do you mind?
Jen: No go ahead (No, I don’t mind, go ahead and help Tom first), better late than never right?
관리실 매니저인 Paul은 Tom에게 전에 살던 집 열쇠를 반납하라고 계속 전화를 했는데요, 마침내 Tom이 열쇠를 반납하러 왔습니다. Tom, a previous resident at the apartment complex forgot to turn in his keys to the leasing office when he moved out. So Paul, the office manager, tried getting in touch with him by leaving him a voice message on his cell phone and he finally showed up with his keys. Paul was really happy about that.
Paul은 Tom 을 보고 기뻐하며 “better late than never”라고 했는데요, “아예 반납을 안하는 것 보다 늦게라도 반납하는게 낫죠!” 라는 뜻입니다.
Tom은 열쇠를 늦게 반납한 것에 대해 벌금을 내야 하냐고 물어봤는데요, Paul은 괜찮다며, 보증금을 이번 주말까지 보내주겠다고 말했습니다.
Tom asked if he owes the office any money because he turned in the keys late but Paul says that it’s going to be alright and the refundable housing security deposit will be sent to him by the end of the week.
오늘의 영어 표현 Better late than never 인데요, Better / B E T T E R ; late / L A T E, 늦는게 더 낫다 than ~ 무엇 무엇 보다, never, 아예 안하는 것 보다,
Today’s phrase is ‘better late than never’ It basically means that it is better for someone or something to be late than never to arrive or to happen. 즉 아예 안하는 것보다 늦게라도 하는 것이 더 낫다는 뜻입니다.
그럼 여기서 오늘의 대화를 다시 한번 들어보시겠습니다.
