오늘의 표현은 don’t cry over spilled milk입니다.
The phrase ‘don’t cry over spilled milk’ is used to describe someone who is upset about something that has already happened and cannot be changed. So basically if someone is being very annoying due to a situation that cannot be undone, you can tell him or her, ‘don’t cry over spilled milk’. ‘Don’t cry over spilled milk’는 돌이킬 수 없는 상황에 대해 속상해 하는 사람에게 말해줄 수 있는 표현입니다. 이미 일어난 일은 되돌릴 수 없으니까 후회해봐야 소용없다는 뜻이죠 ‘한 번 엎지른 물은 주워담지 못한다’라는 한국 속담과 비슷한 표현입니다. Let me give you two examples. 예문을 두 개 들어볼까요? 미용실에서 자른 머리가 마음에 들지 않아 하는 친구에게 ‘I know you don't like your new haircut, 새 머리 모양이 맘에 안 드는가 보구나. but you can't change it now 하지만 지금와서 바꿀 순 없는 노릇이잖아 It's no use crying over spilled milk’안타까워해야 소용없으니까 그냥 잊어버려’라며 위로해 줄 수 있겠죠? 또 다른 예로는 ‘You lost the umbrella I lent you? 그래, 내가 빌려준 우산을 잃어버렸구나 It’s all right. I forgive you so don't cry over spilled milk 괜찮아,이미 없어진 걸 어쩌겠니.’라고 할 수 있습니다. 오늘의 표현, ‘don’t cry over spilled milk’꼭 기억하시고요. Now we’ll listen to this conversation for the last time.
