Food poisoning? I think she just might be hung over! I saw her last night with
a group of girls downtown going into a bar.
* be
hung over: to have a headache and possible stomach trouble related to the
previous night’s drinking.
ex> She woke up hung over, but
took a long, hot shower and went to work anyway.
Are you serious? That girl needs to clean up her act! I’m tired of her shenanigans.
* clean
up one’s act: to make changes to one’s lifestyle or attitude
ex> If you don’t clean up your act,
you’re going to be kicked out of the house!
* shenanigan: 사기,
속임수
Don’t jump the gun.
There is a slight possibility that she really is sick and not hung over.
* jump
the gun: to start too early; do something without thought
ex> Don’t jump the gun and buy
the first car you see.
Note> An athlete starting a race
before the starting pistol has been fired is said to be “jumping the gun.”
I hope she is for her sake. Anyway, I’ll start setting up the dining room. We
have a group of 15 coming in right at noon.
* for
one’s sake: for the benefit of someone
ex> For your sake, I hope you
brought a sweater, because it’s going to be cold tonight.
I wouldn’t want to step on her toes and risk giving them better service than her.
If she isn’t sick she’s going to be
missing out on more than just a big tip from some rich businessmen – she’s
going to be relegated to the worst
shifts in the smoking section for the next month!
* relegate: 좌천시키다
