PE 9/4 Johnny Depp Interview

Part1, "Johnny Depp's Childhood"

 

Johnny what was your childhood like?

 

We traveled around a lot. When I was 12, I began smoking and doing drugs because of family problems. As a teen, I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar.

 

That turned out to be a lucky break for you; didn't you form a garage band called The Kids?

* a lucky break: good opportunity

ex> Buying the winning lotto ticket was a lucky break.

 

Yeah. I dropped out of high school at 16, formed a band, and moved to Hollywood. I started hanging out with Nicolas Cage and got hired for some films.

 

So acting just sort of fell into your lap from out of your blue.

* fall into one's lap: 운 좋게 굴러 오다, 거저 얻다

* out of the blue: 갑자기, 난데없이

ex> The inheritance just fell into my lap; I didn't do anything to earn it.

 

Yep. I dreamed of being a musician not an actor, and I really resented being a teen idol. I didn't see that one coming.

* resent: 분개하다, 분노하다

* see ~ coming: ~이 벌어질 것을 예상하다, expect

ex> My best friend stole my boyfriend. I didn't see that coming.
