본문에서 제가 Jason에게 “Oh I’m starving! 어휴, 나 배고파 죽겠어.” 라고 하자 Jason이 “I knew you would be hungry so I bought an extra hamburger for you. 너 배고파 할 줄 알고 햄버거 하나 더 시켜왔어. Here you go. 자, 받아.”라고 하네요. 그러자 제가 “You read my mind! Thanks so much! 어쩜, 그렇게 내 마음을 잘 아니? 고마워!”라고 하자 Jason이 “Yup, I totally read your mind didn’t I? 응! 척하면 삼천리지. 네 마음을 훤히 꿰뜷러 본 거야.”라고 하더라고요.

Today’s expression is read one’s mind. When someone tells you that you read their mind, it means that you have said or done something that they were also thinking about. It basically means to have the same idea and to know what the other person is thinking. Read my mind 말 그대로 하면 ‘내 생각을 읽다.’라는 뜻입니다. 즉 ‘내 생각을 알아채다’, ‘내 마음을 알아 버리다.’ 라는 의미입니다. 오늘 본문에서 Jason이 제가 배고파 할 줄 알고 햄버거를 하나 더 시켜왔죠. 그러자 제가 “You read my mind! Thanks so much!”라고 답했습니다. 이렇게 상대방의 마음 또는 생각을 알아챌 때 쓸 수 있는 영어 표현이 바로 ‘read one’s mind’ 입니다. 이제 예문을 통해 오늘 표현에 대해 더 자세히 알아보겠습니다. “Steve, I don’t know what you’re thinking because I can’t read your mind. 스티브, 난 네 마음을 못 읽기 때문에 네가 무슨 생각을 하고 있는지 모르겠어.”라는 뜻이 됩니다. 또 다른 예를 들어볼까요? “My mom reads my mind very well.” 라고 하면 “우리 어머니께서는 내 마음을 잘 아신다니까.” 라는 뜻입니다. Now you know what today’s expression ‘read one’s mind’ means right? Then we will listen to the conversation for the last time.
