SUITS S7E1 05

by Olivia Ha 2018. 4. 2.

#ram sth down sb's throat

force something down someone's throat, to insist that someone listen to or accept (

you have to take me seriously.

I do take you seriously.

Then walk the hell down to Louis' office and tell him I'm a partner.

Donna, I can't just ram every decision down his throat.




You're not listening to a word I'm saying, are you?

- I'm sorry.

- Well, you should be.

I've been told I'm actually quite delightful. 난 좀 유쾌하단 소리 많이 듣는데.



# against sb's better judgment

if someone does something against their better judgment, they do it even though they are not sure that it is a good idea.

잘못된 거라는 걸 알면서도, 

You don't think I've had fantasies about you? 난 너에대한 판타지가 없는 줄 알아?

That one day you'd show up at my office as I was heading home for the night, and I turn around, and you'd be there. 
어느날 밤에 집으로 가려고 할 때 내 사무실로 와서 돌아봤을 때 니가 거기에 있을 것 같은


It would actually be the start of something special. Well, I have, 그게 뭔가 내가 가진 특별한 감정의 시작일 수도 있었겠지.

which is why despite my better judgment, I'm here with you right now. 그리고 잘못된걸 알면서도 내가 지금 여기있는 이유고.


EX) Against my better judgement, I decided not to finish my assignment before going to bed."



# much(still) less

used to introduce something as being even less likely than something already mentioned.

하물며 ~ 더 아니다.

much나 still 은 less 비교급을 강조하고, 더 적다. 더 그럴 일은 아니다. 


(위의 대사와 이어짐) 
Harvey : So what's the problem?

Paula : The problem is those fantasies weren't of me being a therapist to a man who's still too afraid to admit that he needs help,

much less take control of a firm that bears his name. (이름을 걸고 I will bet my name on it) 

문제는, 그 판타지는 내가 자기가 도움이 필요하다는 걸 아직도 인정하기 두려워하고 하물며 이름을 걸고 회사를 컨트롤 할 수도 없는 남자의 테라피스트가 되는 게 아니었다는 거죠. 

EX) I don't want even to see her, much less speak to her 그녀를 보기도 싫은데 말할 일은 더군다나 없지. 하물며 말할 일이 있겠어?


# go behind your back

If someone goes behind your back, they do something secretly or without your permission

You could tell me from now on if you have a problem with me,

you'll take it up(discuss) with me instead of going behind my back.

지금 부터 문제 있으면 나랑 얘기해, 내 뒷통수 치지말고.
