Dave, I couldn't help noticing that letter on your desk, Is the bank really foreclosing on your house?
* foreclose [fɔ:r|kloʊz] : 차입하다, 담보권을 실행하다
ex> The bank foreclosed on the mortgage for his previous home.
Don't beat yourself up, Dave. Let's think about this rationally and maybe we can come up with a solution.
* beat oneself up: to blame oneself for things that may or may not be one's fault
ex> Don't beat yourself up, everyone makes mistakes.
ex> Look, there's no need to beat yourself up over this.
That's a lot of dough. When is your next payment due?
* dough: 큰 돈
That's the catch. My next payment is due in less than a week.
* a/the catch: a condition that makes a proposal or offer less attractive
ex> Almost every great offer comes with a catch, so read the fine print carefully.
ex> All that money for two hours' work - what's the catch?
Wow, you're really up a creek without a paddle.
* up a creek without a paddle: being in a difficult situation with no obvious way out
ex> I felt like I was up a creek without a paddle when I ran out of gas in the middle of the countryside.
If you want to keep your house, you might want to place some ads online and spread the word that you have a great vehicle for sale.
* spread the word: to tell other people about sth
ex> She asked me to spread the word to our neighbors that her dog had run away.
Yeah, I guess I should get on it. I really love that car, but I sure wouldn't want to live in it.
* get on it: to do or take care of sth right away
ex> The report is due in two hours, so you'd better get on it.
