Almond 영어원서 챌린지 매직북클럽 Day 5

 Almond 

 손원평 작가님의 아몬드는 청소년 도서로 분류되고 있지만 오히려 어른들이 읽으면 더 좋은 책이라고 생각이 들어요. 감정표현불능증을 가지고 있는 청소년 주인공을 통해 바라보는 세상, 주인공을 대신해 독자가 그 감정을 고스란히 느끼게 됩니다.

*meticulous 꼼꼼한, 세심한

*blank 빈칸, 공백

*fill in …을 채우다, ~을 완전히 메우다 …을 대신하다

The worlds of movies, soap operas, or cartoons were already so meticulous that there were no blanks left for me to fill in. These stories on screen existed exactly as they had been filmed and drawn. 영화, 연속극, 만화의 세계는 이미 그렇게 꼼꼼하게 만들어져 있었기에 나는 그곳에 내가 채워야 할 빈칸이 없었다. 화면 속 이야기들은 정확히 촬영되거나 그려진 대로 존재했다.

There was nothing left for me to change in that world.

After a while, I was really starting to get the hang of it.(윔피키드 78p)

At first you feel you are getting the hang of it, but then as time goes by, you feel like the meaning's changing and becoming tarnished. 

오늘의 영어! "감 잡았어!"

*bad and sloppy 별로인

The cold noodles were so soggy that they broke into pieces as soon as they touched my teeth, and that was not even the worst part. The soup was stale, the big mandus were burned, and the naengmyeon broth tasted like Sprite. Even someone who had naengmyeon for the first time would know it was bad and sloppy.

it was the snow, of course. Granny and Mom were all smiles that day. 

Thank you for being my son.

Somewhat clichéd. But there are days when you are supposed to say those things.
