What exactly is going on? 정말? 좀 자세하게 얘기해봐. ”라고 하네요. 그러자, Brandon 은 “Every time I am working on a project, he comes over and tells me what I should or should not be doing. He thinks he knows everything! 그게 말이야. 내가 일을 하고 있을 때마다 와서는 이건 해야 되고 저건 하면 안 된다며 간섭을 하고 아는척을 너무 많이 하는거있지.” 라고 답합니다. 그러자 Alicia은 “I think it’s best not to engage in an ongoing conversation with them and just say ‘thank you'. 내 생각엔 그런 사람들이 뭐라고 하던 싱경쓰지말고 그냥 ‘감사합니다’ 라고하면 좀 괜찮을꺼야." 라고 말하고 있어요. 이에 대해 Brandon은 “You’re right. I’ll give that a try! Thanks! 네 말이 맞아. 한 번 해볼게 고마워!’라며 대답하고 있네요.

A know-it-all은 “아는 척 하는 ,똑똑한 척 하는” 뜻으로 실제로 잘 알지 못하면서도 마치 모든걸 다 알고 있는 것처럼 말하고 행동하는 사람을 가리킵니다. Let me give you an example. If you have a younger sister who thinks she knows everything and doesn’t even bother to listen to anything you say, 모든걸 다 아는 척하고 큰언니 의 의견을 듯지 않는 여동생에게 you may tell her this 이렇게 말할수있겠죠 “Hey sister, stop being a know-it-all and hear me out” 라고요.
