# rail against
to protest about somebody/something in an angry or bitter way
she railed against me and my company, GNB, for wanting to tear down a beautiful old building:
# on my hands
someone is responsible for dealing with someone or something.
#drill into
to tell something to someone again and again until the person knows it:
주입시키다.
# by the skin of your teeth
you only just succeed in doing it
#the ship has sailed
배 떠났어,
too late
#see eye to eye 완전히 동의하다.
be in full agreement.
- I see eye to eye with you on that. 그 부분에 있어서 완전 동의해
- You and your mother-in-law don't get along. do you?
No,, we don't. I guess we just don't see eye to eye. 잘 안맞는 것 같다
# barking up the wrong tree.
suggest a mistaken emphasis in a specific context.
# like riding a bicycle 한 번 배우면 안까먹는 그런거야.
Something that, once learned, is difficult to forget how to do/easy to recall how to do.
#cut the mustard 충분하다. 이정도면 됐다.
- Luke: Okay, I finally finished vacuuming the house.
Ella: And I finished washing all the windows.
Luke: Let’s check each other’s work to make sure it will cut the mustard.
Ella: That’s a good idea. The cleaning has to be perfect; otherwise, Mom will not be happy.
to be good or effective enough
Give me bigger hammer this little one doesn't cut the mustard,
