Hi everyone! This is Jennifer Yoo with ENGLISH WITH YOO! 안녕하세요 English with Yoo!의 Jennifer Yoo입니다.

| 오늘의 표현은 : Can’t take a hint, Can’t take a hint, 입니다. |
| 그럼 오늘의 대화를 들어보면서 Can’t take a hint
가 무슨 뜻인지 알아보겠습니다. Listen carefully. |
|
Jason
|
: Why is Tony still calling you?
|
|
Jen
|
: It’s because he can’t take a hint.
|
|
Jason
|
: Well, you should tell him directly that you don’t want to talk to him anymore.
|
| 본문에서 Jason이 제게
“Why is Tony still calling you?
왜 아직도 Tony가 너한테 전화하니?”라고 묻자,
저는
“It’s because he can’t take a hint. 눈치를 못 채고 있거든.”이라고 대답했습니다.
그러자 Jason은
“Well, you should tell him directly that you don’t want to talk to him anymore.
그럼, Tony에게 직설적으로 말하지그래. 더 이상 얘기하고 싶지 않다고 말이야.”라고 대답했습니다 |
| Now keep today’s ｅxpression can’t take a hint, can’t take a hint in mind and let’s hear the conversation again. |
|
Jason
|
: Why is Tony still calling you?
|
| Jen
|
: It’s because he can’t take a hint.
|
| Jason
|
: Well, you should tell him directly that you don’t want to talk to him anymore.
|
| Today’s ｅxpression is can’t CAN'T can't, take TAKE take, a hint HINT hint. can’t take a hint, If you can’t take a hint, you can’t understand or do something that is communicated indirectly.
영어 단어 hint, hint는 ‘암시’라는 뜻이죠. Take a hint는 '암시를 알아차리다' '눈치를 채다'는 의미로 쓰입니다.
그래서 Can't, can’t take a hint라고 하면 '눈치를 못 채다' ‘눈치 없다’는 뜻이 됩니다.
In today’s example, I tell Jason that Tony won’t stop calling me because he can’t take a hint.
네 본문에서 제가 Jason에게 Tony는 눈치가 없다고 했습니다.
영어로
“It’s because he can’t take a hint.”라고요.
네 이렇게 상대방의 암시나, 기분을 알아차리지 못 할 때 쓸 수 있는 표현이 바로 can’t take a hint can’t take a hint입니다. |
| Now let me give you some example sentences using today’s ｅxpression.
“Tammy definitely can’t take a hint!”, “Tammy definitely can’t take a hint!”은 “Tammy는 정말 눈치가 없어!”로 해석할 수 있습니다.
Here is another example.
“Joe hoped Jessica would take a hint and stop bothering him.”라는 문장을 해석하면
“Joe는 Jessica가 눈치를 채고, 그만 귀찮게 굴기를 바랐다.” 라는 뜻입니다. |
| Now that you know what today’s ｅxpression means, let’s listen to the conversation for the last time. |
| Jason
|
: Why is Tony still calling you?
|
| Jen
|
: It’s because he can’t take a hint.
|
| Jason
|
: Well, you should tell him directly that you don’t want to talk to him anymore.
|
| Let’s review. If you can’t take a hint it means that you can’t understand or do something, therefore you can’t behave accordingly. can’t take a hint. can’t take a hint |
