Before we find out what today's ｅxpression means, let's listen to today's
conversation.
Listen carefully

: Oh my gosh! What happened to this glass vase? It's broken!
|
|
Jason
|
: I know. I've been trying to find out who did it.
|
|
Jen
|
: Did you ask the kids who were running around here earlier?
|
|
Jason
|
: I did. When I asked them who did it they all clammed up about it.
So I never did find out who broke the glass vase.

Today's ｅxpression is clam CLAM clam, up UP up, clam up. When you clam up,
you suddenly refuse to speak or reply.
People usually clam up because they don't want to talk about a particular subject, or they are embarrassed or nervous
about something.
Clam up on something 은
대화 하다가 비밀을 말하게 될까 봐 갑자기 입을 다문다는 표현입니다. 아울러 당혹스럽고 불안해서 침묵을 지키는 경우에도
쓸 수 있고요. 이야기하고 싶지 않은 주제가 나와서 말을 멈추게 될 때도 사용할 수 있습니다.
Clam Clam은 조개죠. Clam up은 조개가 입을 꼭 다물듯이 입을 열지 않는다는 의미입니다. 상황이 연상 되시겠죠?
오늘 본문에서 제가 Jason에게 아이들한테 물어봤느냐고 묻자
Jason은
물어보기는 봤는데 아이들이 그 깨진 유리
꽃병에 대해 다들 입을 꼭 다물고 아무말도 하지 않더라고 했죠. When I asked them who did it they all clammed up about it. 라고요.
네 그럼 예문을 들어볼까요,
Mr. Johnson asked who had thrown the pencil, but the students clammed up. 이라고 하면
존슨 선생님이 학생들에게 누가 이 연필을 던졌느냐고 묻자 다들 아무 말도 하지 않았다. 라는 뜻이 됩니다.
