I didn’t even see it. 난 전혀 못 봤거든.”이라고 하네요. 이어 Jason이 “It’s okay. 괜찮아. Just be careful next time. 다음부터 조심해. This neighborhood has a lot of speed bumps. 이 근처는 과속 방지턱이 유달리 많아.”라고 하더라고요.

Today’s expression is look out! If someone shouts out “Look out!” it means to be careful and watchful. You can either yell out this expression in an urgent situation or you can say it casually in a non-urgent situation. ‘Look out’은 조심하라는 뜻이죠, be careful, watch out’도 같은 의미입니다. 보통 상황이 급할 때는 강조하기 위해 “Look out!”이라고 크게 외쳐야 하지만 그 정도가 아닐 경우에는 차분하게 “look out”이라고 말할 수도 있습니다. 오늘 본문에서 Jason이 제게 과속 방지턱이 있으니까 조심하라고 외쳤죠. “Jen! Look out! There’s a speed bump!”라고요. 상황 이해되시죠? 이제 예문을 통해 오늘 표현에 대해 더 자세히 알아보겠습니다. “Look out! There is a big puddle! Be careful not to step in it.” 라고 하면 “조심해! 큰 웅덩이 있어! 빠지지 않게 주의해.”라는 뜻이 됩니다. 또 다른 예를 들어 보겠습니다. “If you don’t look out, you may trip over the rope.”라고 하면 “조심하지 않으면 밧줄에 걸려 넘어질 수도 있어.”라는 뜻입니다.
