5/15(Wed) 211-217p Flashcards
I knew they were gonna make me do it, too. I started to panic, because I knew I wasn’t going to be able to fight my way out of this situation.
*fight one’s way out of : 나의 방법으로 이 상황에서 벗어나다, 어려운 상황에서 탈출하려고 애쓰다
So I did some fast talking instead.
I would, but I’m allergic to dairy.
*fast-talking : 남을 구슬리는 화법, 허튼 수작[유창한 말]으로 구슬리다
*I have a kiwi allergy / I’m allergic to cats.
I guess the teenagers were satisfied they had made their point, because after they made Rowley finish off the rest of the Cheese, they let us go.
*make one’s point : 자신의 주장[의견]을 입증하다
*finish off : ~을 다 마치다, 마무리짓다 **다 먹다
I thought about mentioning to Rowley that maybe he could have pulled out a couple of his karate moves back there, but something told me to hold off on that thought for right now.
*mention : 말하다, 언급
*pull out : 꺼내다, 뽑아내다, 사용하다
*karate moves : 가라데 동작들
*hold off : 시작하지 않다, 미루다
A couple of the guys who were arguing over what happened to the Cheese were the same ones who were egging me and Rowley on yesterday afternoon.
*egg somebody on : (특히 하지 말아야 할 일을 하도록) ~를 부추기다[꼬드기다]
So I knew it wasn’t going to be long before someone put two and two together and figured out that we must have had something to do with it.
*put two and two together : 이것저것 종합해서[자기가 보고 들은 것으로] 추측[추론]하다
I said I was sick of it being on the blacktop, and I just decided to get rid of it once and for all.
*once and for all : 마지막으로 한 번만 더, 최종적으로[완전히]
For a second there, everyone just froze.
*for a second there : 잠시동안
*freeze-froze
It got me out of doing the Square Dance unit in Phys Ed, because no one would partner up with me.
*get (me) out of (doing the Square Dance unit)
You know, Rowley can have Class Clown for all I care.
*for all I care : 내가 알 바 아니다, 상관 할 바가 아니다(무관심)
But if he ever gets too big for his britches, I’ll just remind him that he was the guy who ate the Cheese.
*too big for your britches : 거만한, 너무 자신을 높게 평가하는
*britches : (구어)바지나 무릎까지 오는 바지 / 상식적인 자신감이나 자존심
