[English with Yoo] Turn Things Around

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: turn things around

Previously I mentioned that I attended a candidate’s night where Mitt Romney’s two sons Ben and Josh Romney made a surprise visit right?

한인정치참여연합에 미트 롬니 공화당 후보의 두 아들인 밴(Ben)과 조시(Josh)는 깜짝 방문을 했다고 말씀드렸죠. Let’s hear what Josh Romney had to say about his father, Mitt Romney, at this candidate’s night.

오늘의 영어 표현은 turn things around 입니다.

turn things around / turn (something) around

Josh Romney: When we discussed running for president again, my brothers and I were not really excited about it. We knew how hard it would be and knew what it would entail but the thing my mom brought up convinced us all that we had to do it was the economy. She asked “Mitt, can you turn the economy around?” And he said “Yes, I think I’m the only one running for president who knows how to do it.” And she said, “Well, you don’t have a choice you have to run for the president.”

조시 롬니는 "솔직히 말해서 아버지께서 다시 대통령 선거에 출마하신다고 했을 때, 저와 제 형재들은 그렇게 좋아하지 않았어요. 그렇지만 어머님께서는 아버지에게 "정말 미국 경제를나아지게 할수있으면 if he can turn the economy around 당연히 출마해야지"라고 했다고 합니다.

오늘의 영어 표현은: turn things around 이죠?

‘turn / T U R N 하면 ‘돌다 / 돌리다’ 라는 뜻이죠?

말그대로 하면 ‘turn things around’ (~)돌려 놓다 라는 말인데요, 즉 ‘(~) 나아지게 하다 / (~) 향상시키다 라는 뜻입니다.

turn (something) around means to make changes for the better; to take a turn for the better, to make improvements.

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

본문 다시한번 들어보셨고요, Now I’ll say a sentence in Korean and you try saying it in English.

  • 걱정하지마 내가 너를 도와주면 좀 나아질꺼야.
그렇죠! Don’t worry I will help you turn your situation around.
