Dear John- Nicholas Sparks, Day 2(11-20p/ Ebook 5-8p)

1. 시간이 날 때마다 Dear John의 오디오자료를 자주 들어주세요. 원서를 읽고 난 후에 다시 들으면 훨씬 더 잘 들려요.

I think my dad was happy. I phrase it like this because he seldom showed much emotion. He was the quiestest man I've ever known. He lived for routine.

*along …을 (죽계속) 따라

*along one's route 루트(노선)에 따라

*mint (화폐를) 주조하다, 박하

*surpass 능가하다, 뛰어넘다

*transfixed 눈길을 못 떼다, 정신이 사로잡히다, 놀라움에 어찌할 바를 모르다

His collection rivaled, if not surpassed, the collection at the Smithsonian.

My grandfather became transfixed by the idea of building a collection with his son.

할아버지는 아들과 함께 컬렉션을 만들겠다는 생각에 빠져들었다.

*firsthand 직접(으로), 바로(at first hand); 직접 체험으로

*spend a fortune 재산을 낭비하다

In time, my grandfather and dad established relationships with coin dealers across the country, and my grandfather spent a fortune over the years teading up and improving the collection.

*go out of business 폐업하다, 가게를 닫다

+) going-out-of-business sale 점포 정리 세일

+) I just saw that my favorite restaurant went out of business.
제가 가장 좋아하는 식당이 문을 닫았다는 것을 방금 보았습니다.
+) I think they went out of business. 폐업한 것 같습니다.
+) Many of the small stores may even go out of business.
대부분의 작은 가게들은 폐업까지 할지도 모른다.

Unlike Louis Eliasberg, however, my grandfather wasn't rich-he owned a general store in Burgaw that went out of business when the Piggly Wiggly opened its doors across town- and never had a chance at matching Eliasberg's collection.

★Louis Eliasberg- Famous Coin Collectiors

*an odd duck 별난 사람

*Like father, like son 그 아버지에 그 아들(부전자전)

He was an odd duck, that's for sure, as was my dad. Like father, like son, as the old saying goes.

*go through the roof 최고에 달하다, 치솟다, 급등하다

+) The stock value is going through the roof.
주가가 최고로 오르고 있어.

When inflation went through the roof and gold hit $850 an once, it was worth a small fortune, more than enough for my frugal dad to retire a few times over and more than it would be worth a quarter century later.

*treasure 소중히 여기다

The only picture ever taken of us was at a coin show in Atlanta.

*perch (특히 무엇의 끝에) 걸쳐놓다, 걸터앉다[앉히다]

+) He had always basked in his parents’ attention.
그는 항상 부모님의 관심을 듬뿍 받았다.
+) He basked in royal favor.
그는 임금의 총애를 받았다.

Having an adult, especially your dad, treat you like an equal is a heady thing for any young child, and I basked in the attention, absorbing the information.

My regentment began to grow as well.

*scrounge [skraʊndʒ] (공짜로) 얻어 내다[우려내다] (=cadge)
*scrounge for …을 슬쩍하다

I found myself scrounging for quarters in the couch to by myself a burger at McDonale's.

*crappy [ˈkræpi] 속어 쓰레기 같은, 형편없는

I was as blind as a snail and dumb as a camel, but even if I told you I regret my immaturity now, I can't undo the past.

*at a loss (무엇·무슨 말을 해야 할지) 모르는[어쩔 줄을 모르는]

My dad sensed that something was changing, but he was at a loss as to what to do about us.

*estrangement [ɪˈstreɪndʒmənt] (부부간의) 별거 (기간), (관계의) 소원

But our estrangement grew worse over time.

*break into (갑자기) …하기 시작하다
*clique [kliːk] 파벌, 패거리

I began to cut classes and smoke and was suspended for fighting on three occasions.

+) teenage rebellion 십대의 반항

During my senior year, my rebellion reached a high point.

*mind one's own business 남의 일에 간섭하지 않다, 쓸데없는 참견은 않다

I stayed at a friend's house for a couple of weeks after raging at him to mind his own business.

*broach [broʊtʃ](하기 힘든 이야기를) 꺼내다

I know my dad was worried, and he would sometimes, in his own shy way, broach the subject of college, but by then I'd made up my mind not to go.

*one way or the other (둘 중) 어느 쪽으로도, 어떻게 되든지

*come to the surface 표면화하다

I shook my head, all the frustration of life with my dad coming to the surface.

*trudge (지쳐서) 터덜터덜 걷다, (무거운 것을 들고) 느릿느릿 걷다

*deep down 마음속으로는[내심], 본심은[사실은]

My dad said nothing, but to this day I'll never forget his pained expression when at last he turned and trudged back to his den. I'd hurt him,and though I told myself I hadn't wanted to, deep down I knew I was lying to myself.

*gulf (사고·생활 방식 등의 큰) 격차, 만
*a yawning gulf 깊은 골

It became a yawning gulf between us, and it left us with nothing to say to each other.

I fell into the latter category.

*busboy 식당에서 그릇을 치우는 종업원

*ticket stub (입장권 등의) 반쪽

*out-of-towner 외지 사람, 타향 사람

★oversleep VS. sleep in
oversleep (내 의지가 아닌 나도 모르게 ) 늦잠자다
sleep in (내 의지대로 늦게 일어나고 싶어서) 늦잠자다

I was big into surfing late and sleeping in, and since I was still living at home, none of my income was needed for things like rent or food or insurance or preparing for a future. Besides, none of my friends was doing any better than I was.

*slam into somebody/something (~이) ~에 쾅 하고 충돌하다[충돌하게 하다]

*be on the fast track 성공가도를 달리다, 고속 승진하다, 출셋길에 있다

*occupation 직업, 평생직업, 점유, 점령

*inevitably [ɪnˈevɪtəbli] 필연적이다시피, 아니나 다를까, 예상한 대로

*drift apart 사이가 멀어지다

You could do so much more with your life, but for some reason, you're content to simply float along.

*feel foreign 이질감을 느끼다

I'd been out of school for so long, though, that the idea felt foreign and ridiculous.

If they could do it, I told myself, I could do it, too.
