▶Prologue
She once told me that the key to happiness was achievable dreams, and hers were nothing out of the ordinary.
*hunch 예감; 예감이 들다, 혹, 군살, 덩어리
-[명사] hunch; (불길한) foreboding, premonition, (formal) presentiment,
-[동사] have a hunch[premonition] (of/that)
+) I got a hunch. 감 잡았어.
+) I had a hunch (that) you’d be back.
네가 돌아올 거라는 예감이 들었다.
+) My hunch proved right.
내 예감이 딱 맞았다.
Two or three kids, she was never clear on that, but my hunch is that when the time came, she would have suggested that we let nature take its course and allow God to make the decision.
*lost in something ~에 빠져있다
*lost in each other's arms 서로의 품에 빠져있다
I could imagine lying beside her in bed at the end of the day, holding her while we talked and laughed, lost in each other's arms.
*far-fetched 믿기지 않는, 설득력 없는, 허무맹랑한, 얼토당토 않은
+) The whole story sounds very far-fetched.
그 이야기 전체가 도저히 믿기지 않는다.
+) The storyline of the movie was too far-fetched.
그 영화의 줄거리는 얼토당토않았다
+) That sounds a little far-fetched to me.
약간 얼토당토 않는 이야기 같군요.
It doesn't sound so far-fetched, right?
*blend into something (구별이 어렵게) ~와 뒤섞이다
+) Some chameleons blend into their surroundings.
어떤 카멜레온들은 주변 환경에 뒤 섞여 있어요.
+) The colors of the rainbow blend into one another.
무지개 의 색깔들은 서로 잘 어우러진다.
In the army, you learn to blend into your surroundings, and I learned well, because I had no desire to die in some backward foreign dump in the middle of the Iraqi desert.
*set something in motion ~을 작동하게 하다, ~에 시동을 걸다
+) The wheels of change have been set in motion.
변화의 수레바퀴는 이미 굴러가기 시작했다.
When a person sets a things in motion, there's a feeling of unease, almost regret, until you learn the truth.
어떤 일이 시작되면 예기치 않은 상황이나 불확실성을 느끼게 되지만 이후 진실을 알게 되면 그 불안함과 후회는 사라지게 된다.
*brine [braɪn] (특히 식품 저장용) 소금물
Birds have begun their morning calls, and the air is perfumed with the scent of pine and earth; different from the brine and salt of my hometown.
*for dear life 필사적으로, 죽어라고
*hang on for dear life 필사적으로[죽을 힘을 다해] 매달리다
I rode with her once, luckily without injury, and as I was hanging on for dear lfe, I remember thinking that she looked so relaxed in the saddle that she could have been watching television.
+) They swam towards the shore for dear life.
그들은 죽을 힘을 다해 육지로 헤엄쳤다
+) She was holding on to the rope for dear life.
그녀는 필사적으로 밧줄을 붙잡고 있었다.
Jack held on for dear life as they split the wind.(매직트리하우스 10-6/47p)
+)for one's life 필사적으로, 열심히, 목숨 걸고
They ran for their lives.(매직트리하우스 6-7/44p)
Swim for your life!(매직트리하우스 9-8/48p)
He was swimming for his life-and for Annie's life, too.(매직트리하우스 9-8/49p)
-for dear life/ for one's life 비슷한 표현으로 같이 묶어서 기억해 봅니다.
Study for your life!
Study for dear life!
매직방 구호도 같이 외쳐봅니다!
*haunch [hɔːntʃ] 궁둥이, 둔부
*pat ones' haunches 엉덩이를 쓰다듬다
*prick 찌르다, 쑥쑥 쑤시다, 따갑다
*prick up ears 귀를 쫑긋 세우다
She rubs his nose while she whispers something, she pats his haunched, and when she turns away, his ears prick up as she heads totard the barn.
*bridle [ˈbraɪdl] (말에게 씌우는) 굴레, 굴레를 씌우다
*fine lines 잔주름
*station (특히 군인을) 배치하다[주둔시키다], 기차)역, (버스) 정거장[정류장]
I'd been stationed in Germany;
I sometimes wonder about the choices I've made.
*on leave 휴가로
*cost a fortune 엄청나게 비싸다= cost an arm and a leg
+) It cost me a fortune. 어마어마한 돈이 들었지.
+) Good food need not cost a fortune.
좋은 식품이라고 꼭 엄청나게 많은 돈이 드는 것은 아니다.
+) Where'd you get that new watch? I bet it cost a fortune.
자네 그 새 시계 어디서 났나? 틀림없이 돈 많이 주고 샀겠지.
It suits me. 나한테 잘 어울린다.
I don't surf much anymore even on leave, but on my days off I ride my Harley north or south, wherever my mood strikes me. The Harley was the single best thing I've ever bought for myself, though it cost a fortune over there. It suits me, since I've become something of a loner.
▶ PART 1

*vibrant [ˈvaɪbrənt] 활기찬, 생기가 넘치는 (=exciting)
*retiree [rɪˌtaɪəˈriː] 은퇴자, 퇴직자
*golden years 노후 ((보통 65세 이후))
I was born i 1977, and I grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina, a city that proudly boasts the largest port in the state as well as a long and vibrant history but now strikes me more as a city that came about by accident. Sure, the weather was great and the beaches perfect, but it wasn't ready for the wave of Yankee retirees up north who wanted someplace cheap to spend their golden years.
*bisect [baɪˈsekt] 2등분[양분]하다
*off the coast 앞바다에, 인근 해역에
Since my dad had one of the steadiest, solid-citizen jobs on the planet-he drove a mail delivery route for the post office-we did okay.
*sag [sæɡ] (가운데가) 축 처지다[늘어지다], 약화되다, (수적으로) 줄어들다
*saving grace (별 볼일 없는 사람·사물의) 한 가지 장점
+) the saving grace of modesty (겸손)의 미덕
+) by the saving grace of God 신의 가호로
+) But it does have one saving grace.
하지만 그건 정말 한가지 좋은 점은 있다.
+) Her saving grace was that she was bright.
그녀의 한가지 장점은 총명하다는 것이었다.
Unlike my friends's homes, though, our house was old and small; part of the porch had begun to sag, but the yard was its saving grace.
*teach oneself 독학하다 = study by oneself
It was the same summer I taught myself to surf.
*place a value on~을 가치있게 보다, ~에 가치를 두다/부여하다
While he placed a high value on education, school for me was like a social club with sports added in.
*poor posture 서투른 자세
*have bad[poor] posture 자세가 나쁘다
*shuffle 발을 (질질) 끌며 걷다 (어색하거나 당황해서 발을) 이리저리 움직이다, (카드) 섞기
He had poor posture and tended to shuffle when he walked; I bounced from here to there, forever asking him to time how long it took me to run to the end of the block and back.
John은 dad에게 the end of the block and back 블록 끝까지 달리고 다시 돌아오는 시간을 재달라고 요청했다. 부자간 일종의 게임 같은 걸로 보면 좋을 듯.
*as odd 이상하게
Our differences struck some of our neighbors as odd, which made sense, I suppose, considering that he'd raised me by himself.
*heap 쌓아 올리다, 듬뿍 주다; 쌓아 올린 것, 더미, 덩어리
*heap scorn on …을 경멸하다, 깔보다
*neither A nor B: A도 아니고 B도 아니다, A도 B도 아닌
+) neither fish nor fowl 이것도 저것도 아닌
+) neither here nor there 중요하지 않은[상관없는] (=irrelevant)
He neither heaped scorn on her nor praised her, but he made sure that I included her in my prayers, no matter where she was or what she'd done.
But neither my grandfather nor my dad had been into collecting for the money.
But neither Alfonso nor Miguel answered.(Esperanza Rising 122p)
Neither Jack nor Annie could speak.(매직트리하우스 4-9/58p)
As the crew unloaded the boat, neither Jack nor Annie spoke.(매직트리하우스 22-7/50p)
1. A와 B 자리에 명사가 오는 경우
+) I’m neither a maid nor slave!
난 식모도 아니고 노예도 아니란 말이야!
+) She can speak neither English nor French.
그녀는 영어도 불어도 할 줄 모릅니다.
2. A와 B 자리에 있는 단어가 동사가 필요한 경우 동사처리 문제
+) Neither the cat nor dogs are in the house.
고양이도 개들도 집 안에 없어요.
-수일치는 B에 합니다. B가 동사에 가까이 있으므로 B에 해당하는 동사에 맞추어 준다고 생각해 주세요.
B 자리에 dogs가 복수형이기 때문에 be동사로 are 사용
+) Neither the students nor teacher is allowed to smoke.
학생들도 선생님도 흡연이 허용되지 않는다.
-B 자리에 있는 teacher가 단수형이라 is 사용
*to this day (많은 시간이 흐른 뒤인) 지금[이날]까지도, 이때까지, 오늘에 이르기까지
To this day, I've never spoken a single word to her, nor do I have any desire to do so.(11p)
