오늘의 표현은 mouth-watering입니다. If something, especially food, is mouth-watering it means that it’s very tasty and appetizing in appearance, or aroma to the point it makes you salivate. 맛있는 음식을 보거나 냄새를 맡으면 입에 군침이 돕니다. 거의 침이 흐를 정도로 말이죠. 이럴 때 쓸 수 있는 표현이 바로 ‘mouth-watering’입니다. 본문에서 Mike가 Alice에게 “…my wife quickly prepared a mouth-watering dinner for me. 집사람이 군침이 돌 정도로 맛있는 저녁을 준비했어.” 라고 말했습니다. Now let me give you some other examples. 이제 예를 들어 볼까요 “Wow look at all those mouth-watering display of desserts.” 라고 하면 “와, 저 후식들 군침 돌게 하네!”라는 뜻이 됩니다. 또 다른 예를 들어 보겠습니다. “The smell of mom’s cooking is making my mouth water.”라고 하면 “와, 어머니 음식 만드는 냄새에 군침이 다 도네.” 라는 뜻이 됩니다. Now you know what the expression ‘mouth-watering’ means right? Then we will listen to the conversation for the last time.
