  • Speaking Tips

    ▶ have the guts(배짱이 있다) ↔ don't have the guts / have no guts(배짱이 없다) - I have no guts to let him know that I love him; I'm afraid of the consequences. 내가 그를 사랑한다고 말할 용기가 없어요. 왜냐, 그 결과가 너무 두렵거든요. ★ Story에서 그 누구도 Mr. Morris의 무시무시한 제안(offer)을 거부할(to refuse) 배짱이 없겠죠? 더군다나 정 많고 마음 약한 Bob인데 말이죠. 자칫하면 인원을 감축하거나 회사를 접게 될 상황에 이르게 될 테니, 이번 프로젝트를 꼭 성공시켜야겠네요.

  • Story

    ▶ 26. Rumors Dr. Wali: What? Layoffs? Sheldon: Yeah. I overheard him talking to himself. If this project fails, I have to do... oh, no, I can't do it… Ted: Did he say that? Sheldon: Yeah. Not very clearly, but it was something like that…. Dr. Wali: Oh, come on, Sheldon. Please tell me word for word what he said. I want to hear it exactly as he said it. Sheldon: Well, that’s all that he said. But I can try to finish what he was maybe going to say. He might have been saying that he, Mr. Morris, was asking me to do the dirty job instead of him. And I don't think he had the guts to refuse the offer. Besides, you know he wanted us to have an urgent meeting.
