Did you ask the concierge for suggestions of a play to see on the West End tonight?
Those guys usually know what’s hot.
* concierge [kɔ:n|sjerz]: 호텔 안내원
ex> The concierge at the hotel
suggested a wonderful Korean restaurant.
The
usual Broadway fare,
I’m afraid. “Stomp,” “Mamma Mia,” “The Lion King”…
* the usual fare: something that is
common for a given situation; regularly available thing
ex> The restaurant served the
usual steakhouse fare of beef and potatoes.
It’s raining
buckets, so let’s go to whichever one is closer.
* rain buckets: 비가 퍼붓다
Those two theaters are right next door
to each other, according to my guidebook. So I guess it’s just a matter of
taste. What do you reckon?
* reckon: to consider; think or assume
ex> Ronny reckoned he would
become an engineer when he got older because he loved science and math.
Well, if they are going to be anything
like the movies, “Billy Elliot” is going to be an uplifting tear-jerker and “The Full Monty” is
going to be silly and…
* uplifting: 희망[행복감]을 주는
ex> an uplifting experience/speech
* tear-jerker: an extremely sad or
sentimental story
ex> I prefer action comedies over tear-jerkers
any time.
…And possibly full of stark-naked, middle-aged men!
* stark-naked: completely naked
ex> At some beaches, sunbathers are
allowed to walk around stark-naked.
ex> The model stood stark-naked
in front of the camera.
I’ll call the front desk for a cab and
ask the concierge if he can score us
some tickets for “Billy Elliot.”
* score something: to obtain something
that is hard to get
ex> My wife scored us a hotel
suite in the heart of San Francisco for our anniversary.
