오늘의 영어 표현은 An arm and a leg 입니다. Let’s listen closely to today’s
An arm and a leg
Laurie: Did you buy that new computer?
Karen: Yeah, I did. And it cost way more than I expected it to.
Laurie: How much?
Karen: Let me just tell you it cost an arm and a leg!
Laurie는 Karen에게 “Did you buy that new computer? 그 컴퓨터 새로 산거야?”라고 물어보니까, Karen은 “Yeah, I did. 응 그래.” “And it cost way more than I expected it to. 생각했던 것보다 엄청 비싸더라고” 라고 하네요. 그러자 Laurie는 “How much? 얼만데?” 라고 다시 물어보네요. Karen은 “Let me just tell you it cost an arm and a leg! 정말 돈 많이 들었어.”라고 대답합니다.
Now let’s listen again to today’s conversation.
An arm and a leg
Laurie: How much?
Karen: Let me just tell you it cost an arm and a leg!
오늘의 영어 표현 an arm and a leg!/ an A N / arm A R M / and A N D / a / leg L E G / an arm and a leg!입니다. ‘An arm and a leg!’은 ‘돈이 많이 들다, 엄청 비싸다’라고 말하고 싶을 때 쓸 수 있는 영어 표현입니다. When you say in American English that something costs an arm and a leg, it means that the price is very, very high. 미국 사람들이 알아듣기는 하지만 격식있는 표현은 아닙니다. 공식적인 자리에서는 피하는 게 좋겠습니다. If you use this phrase, everyone in the United States will understand you. But this is an informal phrase, so don’t use it in a business setting.
‘An arm and a leg!’ 꼭 기억해두시고요, Now, we'll listen to the conversation for the last time. Listen carefully.
