189. Is there any (혹시) ~가 있나요?

[Lydia is on the phone with her mother.]

Lydia: Mom, we’ve been through this. No, I’m not calling him. I don’t care if it is his kid. The guy’s a jerk. No, I’m not alone. Joey is here. Joey who? Joey who? Yes, okay. Hold on. She wants to talk to you. Take the phone.

        ◆ Be through ~의 관계가 끝나다.

Joey: Hi, it’s me. Oh, no, we’re just friends. I’m single. 25. An actor. Hello?

Lydia: She’s not much of a phone person.

해석: 전화매너가 좋은 사람은 아니예요.

        ◆ Not much of ~가 많지 않다 ➜ 굉장히 ~한 것은 아니다

            예문> It’s not much of a break. 대단한 휴식은 아니예요.

                      I’m not much of a golfer. 대단한 골프선수는 아니예요.

                     This is not much of a surprise. 대단히 놀랄만한 것이 못된다.

Joey: Yeah, so, what’s the deal with this father guy?

해석: 애아빠라는 사람 도대체 어떻게 된거예요?

        ◆ What’s the deal with~취급하다라는 의미보다는 문제가 있다라는 뜻으로 해석

            What’s the problem with~와 비슷, 대부분 나쁜 문제를 칭함, 간혹 좋은 문제인 경우도 있음

Joey: I mean if someone was having my baby somewhere, I’d wanna know about it. Is there any problem?

Lydia: Hey, am I interested in your views on fatherhood? 

해석: 제가 부정에 대한 당신의 관점에 관심이 있다고 했던가요?

Joey: Okay, look, maybe I should just go.

Lydia: Maybe you should.

Joey: Good luck and take care.
