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!

(Taxi Ride)

오늘의 영어 표현은: give me one second

Voice of America (VOA) is located in our nation’s capital and it’s also located near the beautiful Botanical Garden and the Capitol building. I actually live very to work and I get to appreciate these great beautiful buildings every time I walk to and from work. But the other day I had some heavy items to take home, so I decided to take the taxi home. It sure was a nice short ride home!

미국의 소리 (Voice of America; VOA) 는 미국의 수도에 위치해 있고, 아름다운 식물원과 의사당 건물 근처에 있습니다. 전 사실 직장에서 가까운 거리에 살고 있어서 걸어서 출퇴근을 하는대요, 그때마다 이 아름다운 건물들을 볼 수 있어요. 하루는 집에 가져가야 했던 무거운 짐이 있어서 택시를 타고 집에 가기로 결정했어요. 확실히 짧고 기분좋은 퇴근길이었어요!

Let’s listen to a conversation I had with a taxi driver. 제가 택시 운전사와 함께 대화한 것을 먼저 들어보실까요?

Try to pick out today’s phrase ‘give me one second’. Listen carefully!

Give me one second
01:30
Jen: You want to make a right at the green light over there!
Taxi Driver: make a right turn?
Jen: Yes
Taxi Driver: Thank you.
Jen: And then you can park right behind this car, and that’s my apartment right here.
Taxi Driver: Your fare is $4.89
Jen: Can I get a receipt.
Taxi Driver: Yes, sure.
Jen: Thank you. So $4.89. Let me pay you, give me one second. Yes, I need to pay you. I have a $20 dollar bill here and you can just give me back $15.
Taxi Driver: Come again!


오늘의 영어 표현은: Give me one second이죠?

Give, G I V E 는 ‘주다’라는 뜻이고 one second하면 ‘일초’이라는 뜻입니다.
그래서 ‘give me one second’하면 ‘시간을 좀 주시겠어요’’라는 표현죠?

‘Give me one second’ – If someone want a few more minutes of time, they would say ‘Give me one second’.

제가 택시 운전사에게 ‘Let me pay you, give me one second’라고 했죠? Give me one second

그럼 대화를 다시 들어보겠습니다. Let’s listen to the conversation again.
