오늘 영어표현은 to lose touch 입니다. To lose touch means to fail to keep in contact with someone. It basically means that your communication with someone has faded away or you no longer are able to communicate with someone as well as you did in the past. To lose touch with someone 은 누군가와 연락이 끊기다 라는 뜻입니다. ‘I am losing touch with someone’과 같이 표현할 수 있습니다. Also, keep in mind that the opposite of lose touch is to stay in touch. To stay in touch means to be in contact with someone on a regular basis. 반대로 ‘to stay in touch’ 또는 ‘to keep in touch’는 누군가와 연락하며 지내다’ 라는 뜻입니다. Let me give you some examples. “I lost touch with Pauline when she moved to Florida.” 라고 하면 “폴린이 플로리다로 이사 가는 바람에 연락이 끊겼어.” 라는 뜻이 됩니다. 또 다른 예를 들어보겠습니다. “Let’s try our best to stay in touch with each other after graduation.”라고 하면 “우리 졸업하고 나서도 계속 연락하며 지내자.” 라는 뜻이 되죠. Now you know what it means when you lose touch with someone right? Now let’s listen to the conversation for the last time.
