안녕하세요 English with Yoo! 의 Jennifer Yoo입니다.

English with Yoo! 는 일상생활에서 자주 쓰이는 다양한 표현들을  익히는 시간입니다.


I’ll give you a daily introduction to some meaningful and useful everyday English words and phrases! So let’s get started today!
 
오늘의 영어 표현은: To keep (~something / someone) in mind 입니다.

제가 얼마전목과 척추에 좋다는 메모리 폼 베개를 하나 샀는데요, 가게 점원이 이 베개를 사용할 때 주의할 점을 설명해줬습니다.

I decided to purchase a Tempur-Pedic neck pillow the other week. I already knew that this specific type of pillow gives great comfort and support for your head, neck and shoulders. But I also found out that there is something very important that I need to know and keep in mind if I purchase this pillow. Let’s find out what advice the sales associate gave me.

 

그럼 먼저 제가 가게 점원과 나눈 대화 내용을 들어보시겠습니다.

Today’s phrase is ‘keep (~) in mind’. Listen carefully.
 
To keep (something / someone) in mind
Sales associate: The cooler it gets, the firmer these get.
Jen: Oh! I didn’t know that.
Sales associate: The warmer it gets, the softer it gets.  Your body heat, when you lay on it…that’s what helps conform it you.
Jen: Gotcha! (I got it / I understand it) 
Sales associate: But if it’s cold outside and you don’t turn your heat on, this is going to get really firm.
Jen: I guess I will keep that in mind.
Sales associate: And then right above…customer signature please.
 Jen: Thank you!
 
가게 점원은 베개를 사용할 때 주의할 점을 설명해 줬는데요, The cooler it gets, the firmer these get. 온도가 낮아질 수록 베개가 딱딱해 지고, The warmer it gets, the softer it gets 따뜻해지면 푹신푹신해진다고 하더라구요.

 

그런데 밖에 날씨가 너무 추운데, 실내 난방을 하지 않으면, 베게가 굉장히 딱딱해 지니까 주의하라고 했습니다. 그래서 제가 “I guess I will keep that in mind” 라고 했죠!
