You can't do this to me!

Kate : You can't do this to me! 니가 어떻게 나한테 이럴 수가 있어!

Tim : Calm down. Listen to me. 진정하고, 내 말 좀 들어봐.

Kate : I don't want to hear it. 듣고 싶지 않아.

Tim : Simmer down. Keep your cool. There must be some misunderstanding between us.

진정해. 진정하라니까. 우리 사이에 뭔가 오해가 있는 게 분명해.


What do you think of her?

Kate : What do you think of Tim? 팀을 어떻게 생각하니?

Karen : I like him. He has a great sense of humor. 좋아요. 농담을 잘 하세요.

Kate : Really? 그래?

Karen : Yes. He cracks a joke every ten minutes. 네. 10분에 한번씩 농담을 하세요.

Kate : He does? 그가 그런다고?

* crack a joke = (informal) to tell a joke

Kate : What do you think of Karen? 카렌을 어떻게 생각하니?

Tim : I think she is rather homely. 내 생각엔 매력적인 얼굴은 아니라고 생각해.

Ross : I think she is an eyeful. 내가 보기엔 정말 매력적인 얼굴인데.

Kate : Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 그래, 제 눈에 안경이지 뭐.

* homely = people or faces that are homely are unattractive or ugly

* eyeful = (slang) someone, especially woman, who is very attractive to look at

* beauty is in the eye of the beholder = used to say that different people have different opinions about what is beautiful

Tim : What do you think of Karen? 카렌을 어떻게 생각하니?

Ross : I think she is pretty, but a little arrogant. 예쁘긴 한데, 좀 건방진 것 같애.

Tim : I got the same impression. She tends to despise people who are not rich.

나도 같은 인상을 받았어. 걔는 부자가 아닌 사람을 깔보는 것 같아


None of your business
* none of your business = (spoken) not something that you have a right to know about
* mind your own business = (spoken) used to tell someone that something is private and you do not want them to ask about it or know about it

Ross : Stop bickering, will you? 사소한 일로 말다툼 좀 그만해라.

Tim : This is none of your business. Why don't you mind your own business?

네가 참견할 일 아니니. 네 일이나 걱정해.

Ross : I didn't mean to butt in, but both of you were wrong in my opinion.

참견할 의도는 없지만, 내 생각엔 너희 둘 모두 잘못했어.

Tim : Butt out. Keep your nose out of this. 너는 빠져. 이 일에 간섭하지 마.

* bicker = to argue, especially about something very unimportant

* butt in = to interrupt a conversation rudely

* butt out = (spoken) used to tell someone to stop being involved in something

* keep your nose out of = to stop showing too much interest in private matters that do not concern you

eg) I know it's none of my business, but what did you decide?

내가 참견할 일이 아니라는 걸 알지만, 네가 결정한 것이 뭐냐?

You read my mind

 * read one's mind = to guess what someone else is thinking

Ross : I tell you what. Let's take a breather and go get some coffee.

내 말 좀 들어봐. 우리 좀 쉬면서 커피나 한 잔 하자.

Tim : You read my mind! 내 마음을 읽었구나.

* take a breather = (informal) to stop what you are doing for a short time in order to rest

eg) As if he had read her mind, he stood up and offered her his seat.

그는 그녀의 마음을 읽은 것처럼, 일어나서 그녀에게 그의 자리를 양보했다.
