Lesson 45 - It’s Rather Sexy Woman: Have you noticed the plunging necklines and micro-mini skirts? So inappropriate for the office. John: What do you mean? I think it’s rather sexy. Woman: Well, I think it’s sleazy. Don’t you think Amy should tone it down a bit? John: Well, maybe she wants to show off her killer body. I mean, she is pretty hot. Woman: You men are all the same. You think this is some sort of club? John: Why are you so conservative all of a sudden? I wouldn’t talk if I were you. Woman: Excuse me? Are you implying that I dress like her? John: Well, I wouldn’t go that far but I know you like to sex it up sometimes. Woman: Whatever. She really gets on my nerves. John: So maybe it’s not about the clothes. It looks like you have other issues with her. Woman: Don’t get me started. [해석] “오히려 섹시한 걸!” Woman: 저 깊게 파인 목선과 초미니 스커트 봤어? 사무실에서는 너무 어울리지 않아. John: 무슨 말이야? 오히려 섹시하다고 생각하는데. Woman: 글쎄, 난 천박해 보이는 것 같은데. Amy가 옷 입는 수위를 좀 낮춰야 한다고 생각하지 않아? John: 음, 아마 죽여주는 몸매를 자랑하고 싶어서겠지. 내 말은 그녀가 상당히 매력있다는 거지. Woman: 당신 남자들이란 모두 똑같아. 여기가 무슨 클럽이라고 생각해? John: 왜 갑자기 그렇게 보수적이 된 거야? 내가 너라면 그렇게 말하지 않을 텐데. Woman: 뭐라고? 내가 Amy처럼 옷을 입는다는 뜻이야? John: 글쎄, 난 그렇게까지는 말하지 않았어. 하지만 너도 때로는 섹시하게 꾸미고 싶어하잖아. Woman: 어쨌거나. 쟨 정말 신경 거슬리게 해. John: 그러면 아마 옷 때문이 아니네. 네가 그녀와 다른 문제가 있는 것처럼 보이는데. Woman: 말도 꺼내고 싶지 않아. < Key expressions > ■ Don’t you think Amy should tone it down a bit? ■ maybe she wants to show off her killer body. ■ I wouldn’t talk if I were you. ■ I know you like to sex it up sometimes. < Main dialogue > ■ Have you noticed the plunging necklines and micro-mini skirts? * plunge (여성복의) 깊이 파인 V자형 목선 = low cut T-shirt * micro-mini skirts * inappropriate: 적합하지 않은 ex.
