Weekly Pick

Mayu : Miss Hwang? I’m confused between “Do you have time?” and “Do you have the time?” Don’t they mean the same thing?
Serina : As a matter of fact, they are not quite different. You use “Do you have the time?” when you want to know what time it is.
Mayu : That’s fascinating! By the way, do you have time tonight?
Serina : It’s 11:30 now.

As a matter of fact = 사실상,


Mayu : Hey, do you guys want to get together this weekend?
Serina : Oh, we wish. But we’re having a girls’ night-out this weekend.
Seriana : That’s right. No boys allowed.
Mayu : I think I have the right to join you. You guys call me Marin, don’t you?

get together = 모이다


Mayu : I know I should’ve said this a long time ago, but you are like my family.
Serina : Oh, that’s so sweet! You are like my family, too! I’ve always considered you my own daugh…
Mayu : Stop it.

consider A B = A를 B라고 여기다


Serina : Hello, Mayu? What’s all the noise? You sound busy.
Mayu : I’m going to have to call you back. I’m busy washing the dishes.
Serina : No way! But you never do the dishes.
Mayu : I had to. I couldn’t accept any more fruit fly friends.

busy (~ing) = (~ing)하느라 바쁜


Mayu : How could anyone possibly lose a carry-on bag?
Serina : It’s a long story. My tummy started to hurt while the plane was landing.
So, as soon as I got off the plane, I rushed to the bathroom.
Mayu : And… you left your bag on the plane.
Serina : Yeah. And my three little monkeys.

rush to (장소) = 서둘러 (장소)로 향하다
