누구나 한번쯤 예상치 못한 장소에서 오래 된 친구를 만난 경험이 있을 것 같아요. 예상하지 못했던 만큼 그 반가움도 더 클 것이라는 생각이 드는데요. Melissa 역시 우연히 친구를 만난 모양이네요. 자, 그럼Melissa와 Kevin이 나눈 대화를 들어보실까요. Let’s listen to today’s conversation. 잘 들어보세요.

Melissa: Guess what? I ran into Suzy and her husband at the basketball game yesterday.
Kevin: Nice! I haven’t seen them in a while. How are they?
Melissa: They’re good. They wanted me to tell you that they miss you and that we should all have a get-together.
Kevin: Yes, most definitely! It’s always nice when you run into someone you haven’t seen in a while. I’ll give her a call so we can plan on meeting.
Melissa: Awesome!

I’ll give an example. 예문을 하나 들어볼게요. “I went to the movies yesterday and I ran into my professor from school! 어제 영화보러 갔다가 우리 학교 교수님을 만났지 뭐야!”라는 뜻이죠. You may also use the phrase ‘bump into (someone or something)’. ‘Run into’ 대신에 ‘Bump into’라는 표현으로도 쓸 수 있습니다. 오늘의 영어표현은 꼭 기억해두시고요, 그럼 여기서 오늘의 대화를 다시 한 번 들어보시겠습니다. Listen carefully.
