1. 위트 넘치는 비유표현들

힘에 부친다..  out of one's hand

누구 손에 달렸다..   be in one's hands

현실을 받아 들여라..   let's face it

확실하다 (불보듯 뻔하다)..   as plain as the nose on your face

서로돕자..   you scratch my back, i'll scratch yours

사소한데 집착하다 (목숨걸다)..   split hairs

운 나쁜날..   bad hair day

일진이 안좋은..   got off on the wrong foot today,   got out of the wrong side of the bed,  this is no my day,  this is not my lucky day.

식은죽 먹기..     it was like taking candy from a baby

아주쉽다..    don't sweat it,    no sweat

변하지 않는..    die hard,    never change

실패로 끝난일..    go down the tubes,    go up in smoke

이러지도 저러지도 못하다..   be on the rocks,    between a rock and a place,   i'm damned if i do and damned if i don't

문득 생각나다..   ring a bell,   got it

아주 바쁘다..  tied up,   my hands are full,   i don't have enough time to think,  i'm so busy i don't know what direction i'm headed,  ..................................  if i'm coming or going.

냉대를 받다..    cold shoulder

게으르게 뒹굴거리는 사람..   couch potato,   veg out around the house

푹자..    sleep tight

행운이 계속되길 바래..    knock on wood

잘 됐으면 좋겠다..    keep your fingers crossed,    cross your fingers.

약속 합니다..   i give you my word,  cross my heart,   hope to die,    stick a needle in my eye,    i promise

포기 하지마..   stick to ~

실패도 재산이야 (좋은 공부가 됐을거야..댓구법)..  you live,    you learn   다른 댓구표현의 예..   you lie,   you die.   you talk,  you walk.

준비완료..   all systems go

선착순!!..  first come,  first served.   it's first come.   first-come basis.   first-come system.

불행과 분노를 달랠때..  it's not the end of the earth
