오늘부터 가능한(?) 매일 간단한 생활영어를 하나씩 공부하자 합니다.ㅋ

A: Just doing a little gift shop browsing, I was totally blown away by something I saw.
B: Let me guess. Did someone try to sell you a fake knockoff?
A: No. Quite the opposite. I saw a name-brand pen for two grand. It was just a pen!
B: Yeah, I can’t get my mind wrapped around that one either.
*** 난 내 싸구려 펜으로도 만족해. *** 
 
A:선물사려고 둘러보고 있었는데 정말 놀랬어.
B:그렇다면. 누군가 너한테 가짜상품을 팔려 했던 거 아닐까?
A:아니야. 전혀 아니었어. 난 이천 달러짜리 명품 펜을 봤거든. 그냥 그건 펜이었다구!
B:알아. 나도 그런점은 맘에 들지 않아.
I’m happy with my cheapie.
