Today’s expression is sick and tired of someone or something. If you are “sick and tired of something”, you are bored, annoyed or angry because you have done it too many times or something unpleasant has been happening for too long. To be sick and tired of 는 ‘무언가에 싫증나다', '진절머리가 나다', 또는 '지긋지긋하다'는 뜻입니다. 더 이상 대하기 싫을 만큼 몹시 싫증이 나는 걸 '물리다'라고 하기도 하죠.
In today’s conversation Alice tells me that she is sick and tired of pizza because she eats it almost everyday. So we have decided to eat salad for lunch instead. 오늘 본문에서 Alice는, 피자는 거의 매일 먹기 때문에 지긋지긋하다고 합니다. 합니다. 그래서 피자 대신 샐러드를 먹기로 했습니다. 영어로 “Yes, I’m definitely sick and tired. Let’s go get a salad instead.”라고요. 이렇게 어떤 것에 싫증이 났거나 물렸을 때 쓸 수 있는 표현이 ‘sick and tired of~’입니다.
그럼 예문을 통해 오늘의 표현을 더 익혀보겠습니다. “I’m sick and tired of you getting mad over small things.” 라는 문장을 해석하면 “난 네가 사소한 일에 화내는 데 질려 버렸어.” 라는 뜻입니다. Here is another example sentence. “I’m sick and tied of this song. The radio plays it way too often.” 은 “난 이 노래에 싫증났어. 라디오에서 너무 자주 나오거든."로 해석할 수 있습니다. ‘sick and tried of ~’ , 이 표현 잘 기억하시고요. 오늘의 대화를 마지막으로 들어보겠습니다. Now that you know what today’s expression means, let’s listen to the conversation for the last time.
