I have a list of things to do indoors on
the ship. It’s a crying shame that
it’s raining today.
* crying shame: an unfortunate or
unlucky situation or circumstance
ex> It’s such a crying shame
that we had to sell the beach house.
Don’t worry, we still have a full week
left. So, give me the skinny on what we can do inside
this giant tin can.
* tin can: 깡통
* give someone the skinny: to tell the
details about something
= give me the lowdown on; fill me in on;
Let me know ~
ex> So, give me the skinny on
everything I missed while I was away!
Sounds like a snooze fest to me. I’m going to go rock climbing on their indoor
climbing wall and then go to the spa for a massage.
* snooze fest: something that is very
boring
ex> My high school Spanish teacher
was so dull he took an interesting class and turned it into a snooze fest.
You know how I feel about rock climbing.
Just thinking about it makes my flesh
crawl.
* make one’s flesh/skin crawl: to be
extremely frightened
ex> Old houses with creaky floors
tend to make my flesh crawl.
Just because you can climb walls like
Spider Girl doesn’t mean we should all be thrill
seekers.
* thrill seeker: a person who looks for
dangerous activities to participate in for fun
ex> Mark was a thrill seeker
who spent every weekend doing extreme sports
I guess one of us should keep our feet
on the ground. Come on, let’s eat. I’m famished.
* famished: 너무 배가 고픈
<Practice Makes Perfect>
1. Missing our plane to Paris was such a crying shame.
2. I gave the new
employee the skinny on the rules
and regulations.
3. That four-hour movie was a total snooze fest.
4. The horror movie made my skin crawl.
5. Thrill seekers went surfing during the Hurricane.
