오늘의 영어 표현은 Best of both worlds 입니다.

Today we’re going to find out what ‘best of both worlds’ mean. We’ll start by listening to a conversation I had with Mike. Listen carefully.

Best of both worlds
Mike: Is Southern California a good place to live and raise children?
Jen: Yes, you get the best of both worlds, as the people there are very friendly, and there are so many great schools!
Mike: Oh, that’s good!
Jen: I know many families who have raised their children there, so if you have any questions, I can connect you to them.
Mike: Oh thanks a lot! I will definitely let you know if we need more help!
Jen: My pleasure!

Mike가 저에게 “Is Southern California a good place to live and raise children? 남부 캘리포니아는 아이들을 데리고 살기 좋은 곳이야?”라고 묻자, 제가 “Yes, you get the best of both worlds, as the people there are very friendly, and there are so many great schools. 응, 사람들도 친절하고, 좋은 학교도 많아. 두 가지 장점을 다 취할 수 있는 곳이지.”라고 말했습니다. 그러자 Mike는 “That’s good! 좋아!”라고 하고 제가 “Yes. I know many families who have raised their children there so if you have any questions, I can connect you to them. 내가 캘리포니아에서 아이들 키운 사람들을 많이 알아, 궁금한 점이 있으면 그 사람들 소개해 줄게. Plus, you can easily get all the information about school rankings online. 그리고 학교 순위에 관한 정보도 인터넷에서 쉽게 찾을 수 있어.”라고 대답했죠. Mike는 “Thanks a lot! I will definitely let you know if we need more help! 고마워! 도움이 필요하면 다시 연락할게!”라고 말하자, 제가 “My pleasure!”라고 대답했습니다. Now, let’s listen to the conversation again.

If you get the best of both worlds, you get the advantage of two different things at the same time. Best of both worlds 는 두 가지 좋은 점을 동시에 누릴 수 있다는 뜻입니다. 예를 한번 들어볼까요? 시골에 살면서 맑은 공기도 마시고, 도시에 있는 직장으로 출근하면서 다양한 문화를 경험하는 친구에게 “You have the best of both worlds because you live in a quiet rural area and you work in the city! 시골과 도시의 좋은 점들을 누리고 있구나.”라고 말할 수 있어요. Now we’ll listen to this conversation for the last time. Listen carefully
