[English with Yoo] It’s definitely spontaneous

안녕하세요 English with Yoo! 의 Jennifer Yoo입니다. English with Yoo! 는 일상생활에서 자주 쓰이는 다양한 표현들을 익히는 시간입니다.

I’ll give you a daily introduction to some meaningful and useful everyday English words and phrases! So let’s get started today!

오늘의 영어 표현은: It’s definitely spontaneous

I bumped into two adults, Jackie and Andrew, here in Washington D.C. who is starting their long weekend by spontaneously renting a bike and spontaneously biking around the city!
제가 재키와 앤드류를 워싱턴 디씨의 거리에서 우연히 만났습니다. 마침 두 사람은 즉흥적으로 자전거를 빌려 도시를 돌아보며 연휴를 즐길 계획이라고 하더라구요.

오늘의 영어 표현인it’s definitely spontaneous가 어떻게 쓰이는 지 알아보기 전에 제Jackie와 Andrew와 함께 대화한 것을 먼저 들려드릴게요?
Listen carefully!

It’s definitely spontaneous!
Jen: So when is the last time -- the last time you guys rode a bike?
Jackie: Actually for me, it’s been probably a couple years, but definitely I’m looking forward to it.
Andrew: Well, I think I’ve rode at least a year ago, within the last year.
Jen: Any plans on where you guys are going to go? Or is it going to be a spontaneous ride around the city?
Jackie: It’s definitely spontaneous because we’re not familiar with this area at all!
Andrew: Right! We’ve been talking about where we will be going but we’re not sure.
Jackie: Well, we will find some shopping and some place good to eat. It should be fun!

제가 재키 하고 앤드류에게, “자전거를 탄 지 얼마나 됐어요?” 라고 물어 봤더니 재키는 한 몇 년 됐다고 하고 앤두르는 한 일 년 정도 됐다고’ 대답하더라고요.

Any plan on where you guys are going to go? “자전거를 타고 어디로 갈 계획인가요?” 라고도 물어봤습니다. “It’s definitely spontaneous because we’re not familiar with the area at all!” 우리는 이 동네를 잘 몰라서 그냥 자전거를 타고 구경하면서 좋은 음식점이 있으면 가기도 하고, 그냥 계획없이 즉흥적으로 도시를 구경할 겁니다~!”

오늘의 영어 표현은: It’s definitely spontaneous 이죠?

Spontaneous / S P O N T A N E O U S, spontaneous는 ‘억지로 하거나 연습한 것이 아닌 / 즉흥적이다’ 이라는 뜻입니다.

그래서 ‘It’s definitely spontaneous’하면 ‘즉흥적이다/ 미리 계획하지 않았다’ 라는뜻이죠?

Jackie (재키)는It’s definitely spontaneous because we’re not familiar with this area at all! 라고 했습니다.

It’s definitely spontaneous ‘즉흥적이다/ 미리 계획하지 않았다’ 라는 뜻 있다는 것 기억해두시고요, 그럼 여기서 오늘의 대화를 다시들어보시겠습니다. Try to pick out the phrase we are learning today. Listen carefully.
