199. That’s because 원인 : 그건 너무 ~해서 그래

[One week later, Monica is seated, Rachel comes out of her bedroom.]

Mon: Hey, great skirt. Birthday present?

Rach: Yeah.

Mon: From who?

Rach: From you. I exchanged the blouse you got me.

해석: 네가 나한테 준 블라우스 바꿨어.

Mon: Hey, doesn’t Ross’s flight get in, in a couple hours at gate 27-B?

Rach: Yeah, Monica you know honey, I’ve been thinking about it and I’ve decided this whole Ross thing. It’s just not a good idea. 

Mon: Oh, why?

Rach: Because I feel like I wouldn’t be going out with him, I would be going out with all of you. I can’t go out with Ross. That’s because it would be too much pressure.

해석: 로스랑 데이트하는 게 아니라 너희들 모두랑 데이트하는 기분일 것 같아. 너무 큰 부담이 될 것 같아서 그래.

Mon: No, no pressure.

해석: 부담갖지마.

Rach: Monica, nothing has even happened yet and you’re already so… 

해석: 아직 아무일도 일어나지 않았는데 너 벌써 나한테...

        ◆ Yet (부사)아직 ~하지 않다 (부정문 강조)

            예문> He hasn’t arrived yet. 그는 아직 도착하지 않았어. 

                      I don’t fully understand yet. 나는 아직 완전히 이해하지 못했어.

                      I’m not ready to have kids yet. 아직 아이를 가질 준비가 되지 않았어.

Mon: I am not so.

Rach: Who is it?

Intercom: It’s me, Carl.

Rach: Come on up.

Mon: Behind my brother’s back?

 

<오늘의 표현>

That’s because 원인 : 그건 너무 ~해서 그래

 

<예문>

That’s because you’re lazy. 그건 당신이 게으르기 때문이예요.

That’s why you’re lazy. 그래서 네가 게으른거야.

That’s because you don’t know me. 그건 네가 날 잘 몰라서 그래.

That’s because I simply don’t understand. 그건 단순히 제가 이해가 안되서 그래요.

That’s because you didn’t study hard.

That’s because you spent a lot of money.
