Lesson 34 Getting the Tickets From the Scalper Kathy: Look at the line of people who’re waiting for tickets. We don’t have a snowball chance in hell of getting in! John: You’ve got nothing to fret over. I’ve already got the tickets. Kathy: You did?! How did you manage that? John: I got them from one of the scalpers in front of the theater. Kathy: You sly thing. That option never crossed my mind! You’re brilliant! John: Tell me something I don’t know. Kathy: Oh, boy. But you must have forked out a fortune! What was the damage? John: Not important. I took care of it. I got the best seats in the house. Kathy: I really owe you a big one for this. I can’t thank you enough! John: You can pick up the tab next time. Kathy: You bet. [해석] “암표상한테서 표 사기” Kathy: 표 사려고 줄 서서 기다리고 있는 사람들을 봐. 우리가 들어갈 수 있는 가능성이 없어. John: 초조해할 필요 없어. 내가 벌써 표를 구했는걸. Kathy: 구했어?! 어떻게 그렇게 했어? John: 극장 앞에 있는 암표상 중에 한 명한테서 구했지. Kathy: 머리 굴렸는걸. 난 결코 그런 생각 못하는데! 명석해! John: 내가 모르는 걸 얘기 해봐. Kathy: 오, 왜 이래. 그런데 너 거금을 지불했을 텐데. 돈이 얼마나 들었어? John: 중요하지 않아. 내가 냈어. 극장에서 제일 좋은 좌석이야. Kathy: 이번에 정말 너한테 큰 빚을 졌네. 뭐라고 감사해야 할지 모르겠어. John: 다음에는 네가 돈 내면 돼. Kathy: 당연하지. < Key ｅxpressions > ■ We don’t have a snowball chance in hell of getting in! ■ But you must have forked out a fortune! ■ What was the damage? ■ You can pick up the tab next time. < Main dialogue > ■ We don’t have a snowball chance in hell of getting in! * not have a snowball chance in hell -> We have no possibility (of getting in.) / There is no chance. : 가능성이 없다. * a queue (英) : (순서를 기다리는) 줄, 열 ex. a bus queue (버스를 기다리는) 줄 ■ You’ve got nothing to fret over. * fret -> panicky / nervous : 초조해 하다, 당황하다. ■ How did you manage that? -> How did you get the ticket? ■ I got them from one of the scalpers in front of the theater. * (美) a scalper : 암표상 -> (英) a ticket tout ■ You sly thing. 머리 좋은 걸. * someone is sly -> very clever / devious ■ But you must have forked out a fortune! * fork money out for something -> have to spend money on something that you don’t really want to spend that much money on : (마지못해) ~에 돈을 지불하다 ■ What was the damage? -> How much did you have to pay? / How much will it set me back? * damage -> 주로 “큰 돈, 거금” 등의 비용이나 대가를 말 함. ■ I really owe you a big one for this. * owe someone something : ~을 (~에게) 신세지고 있다 ■ You can pick up the tab next time. * a tab = a bill * pick up the tab -> pay the bill
