    외국어/하루 1단어 2019. 1. 12. 20:26

    Fresh off the boat에서 (5-9) 힙합퍼처럼 꾸미고 오는 에디를 보고 에반이 "You're looking fly"라고 하고

    나답지 않군 -이라고 덧붙입니다.

    상황을 보면 "fly" 뜻을 추측하는 건 어렵지 않습니다

    멋진, 쿨한 정도로 보면 될 것입니다.


    그래도 사전을 찾아서 정리해 봅니다.


    네이버 사전:

    fly

    Adjective

    1.[주로 영·구어] 약삭빠른, 빈틈없는; 기민한
    2.매력적인, 날씬한, 멋진

    예상대로입니다.


    영어사전도 찾아보겠습니다.

    옥스퍼드 사전을 보면:


    ADJECTIVE

    informal 

    • 1British Knowing and clever.

      ‘she's fly enough not to get tricked out of it’
    • North American Fashionably attractive and impressive.

      ‘a fly dude’
    미국식으로 해석했을 때 '멋지게 차려입은', '매력적인' 정도로 해석하며 되겠습니다.
    용례를 살펴보면 아래와 같이 사용하면 됩니다.

    미국식: 
    • ‘Babs wants to know if her romance with the fly guy she met last year is for keeps.’
    • ‘Anyone can be fly, race has no bearing on who is fly and who is not.’
    • ‘If your neighbor's got a fly crib or a pimped-out set of wheels, that's their business, not yours.’
    • ‘Ryan's a super fly dude.’
    • ‘I was looking for the fly stuff, and I don't mean fishing gear.’

    영국식:
    • ‘This sort of manoeuvre must have been what one shadow cabinet colleague had in mind when he privately described the politician as ‘an extremely fly operator’.’
    • ‘Never in the history of nannies has there been a more fly nanny than Julie Andrews.’
    • ‘I would ask you to bear in mind that Broome is a very fly and slippery character.’
    • ‘I'm too fly to admit anything to youse guys.’
