PE 1/3 skiing Weekend Trip

I can’t wait to hit the slopes! I am going to be out there from sunup until the chair lifts stop running.

* sunup: 동틀녘

I really think you should consider taking it easy. You aren’t a spring chicken anymore.

* spring chicken: a young person

= You’re over the hill now.

= You’re not as young as you think.

ex> When she was just a spring chicken, Molly would go out dancing until the sun came up.

I beg to differ! Just listening to the way you grunt when you bend down to tie your shoes makes me think you might be even older than that!

* beg to differ: to politely disagree

ex> I beg to differ – there is definitely a difference between blues and soul music.

That’s neither here nor there. When I’m on skis, it’s like poetry in motion!

* neither here nor there: not relevant or important

ex> Whether the dog was brown or black is neither here nor there.
ex> The fact that she's the director's daughter is neither here nor there. She's the most suitable person for the job.

* poetry in motion: movement that is graceful and fluid; graceful, fluid movement

ex> When the model walked down the runway, it was poetry in motion.

Spare me! The last time we went skiing was four years ago and you almost killed yourself on the bunny slope.

* spare me: said when someone is lying or exaggerating

ex> Spare me the sob story about how you were poor growing up. Everyone knows your family was rich.

* bunny slope: 초보자용 슬로프
