네 'Feel the pinch’를 직역하면
‘꼬집는 것을 느끼다.’ 지만, ‘돈에 쪼들리다.’는 뜻으로 쓰입니다. 만일 누군가에게 꼬집히면 따끔하고 아프겠죠? Feel the pinch는 이렇게 돈에 쪼들리고 경제적으로 힘들 때 쓰는 표현입니다.
네 오늘 본문에서 Jason이 요즘 기름값이 계속 올라서 돈에 쪼들린다고 합니다.
“Man, I’m feeling the pinch as the gasoline prices keep going up!”라고요.
이처럼 금전적으로 어려운 상황일 때 쓸 수 있는 표현이 바로 ‘feel the pinch’ 입니다.

| 네 그럼 다른 예문을 좀 더 살펴볼까요?
“The schools felt the pinch in the budget this year.”
이라는 문장은
“학교들은 올해 예산 문제로 어려움을 겪고 있다.”라는 뜻이 되겠죠.
