이럴 때 영어로 뭐라고 하지?
상황마다 쓰는 영어 표현을 친구 사이·직장·공식 자리로 나눠, 쓰는 자리와 주의할 점, 짧은 대화 예시까지 정리했어요.
잘 못 들었을 때
- 전화가 끊겨요 영어로You're breaking up. · I can barely hear you. · Can you hear me okay?
- 다시 말해주세요 영어로Sorry? · What was that? · Sorry, I didn't catch that.
- 천천히 말해주세요 영어로Could you slow down a little? · Sorry, could you say that more slowly? · You're going too fast for me.
- 너무 시끄러워 영어로It's really loud in here. · Sorry, I can't hear you over the music. · Could we step outside for a second?
이해하고 확인할 때
거절할 때
- 초대 거절 영어Thank you for the invitation, but I won't be able to make it. · I'd love to, but I already have plans. · That sounds great, but I can't this time.
- 정중하게 거절 영어로I'd rather not. · Thanks, but I'll pass. · That's not going to work for me.
- 구경만 할게요 영어로I'm just looking, thanks. · No thanks, I'm good. · Maybe another time.
