Lin: Oh boy! I’ll be after lunch then.
Mike: Thanks. See you soon.
Mike가 Lin에게”Hey, I think I’ll need your help later this afternoon. Lin, 오늘 오후에 날 좀 도와줬으면 좋겠다.”라고 합니다.

He’s doing more harm than good. 도움이 되기는커녕 괜히 일만 만들어 놨어.”라며 속상해합니다. 그러자 Lin은 “Oh boy! I’ll be there after lunch then. 저런! 그럼 점심 먹고 도와줄게.”라고 대답합니다. 이에 Mike가 “Thanks.

오늘 영어표현은 more harm than good입니다. To be more harm than good means to be more damaging rather than helpful. It’s usually said about things that are intended to be helpful but do not have a good result. So if you happen to be someone, who just happens to cause more trouble than achieve any good results, then you are doing more harm than good. ‘도움이 되지 않고 오히려 해만 끼치는’이란 뜻인데요. 도와주려는 마음은 있지만, 워낙 서툴러서 일을 망쳐 놓는 사람을 두고 쓰는 표현입니다. 오늘 대화에 나오는 Mike의 동생처럼 말이죠. 자, 오늘 표현, ‘more harm than good’ 꼭 기억하시고요, now let’s listen to this conversation for the last time.
