[오늘의 생활영어] Send for (someone)…(사람을 보내) 누구를 오라고 하다
(타미가 교무실로 들어오며…)
Tommy: Did you send for me?
타미: 저 오라고 하셨어요?
Teacher: Yes Tommy. Come in. Have a seat.
선생님: 그래 타미야. 들어와. 앉아.
Tommy: What do you want to see me for?
타미: 절 보자고 하신 이유가 있나요?
Teacher: I haven't seen you around for a few days.
선생님: 요 며칠 새 널 못 봐서 말이야.
Tommy: I had to take a driving test.
타미: 운전 면허 시험을 봐야 했어요.
Teacher: How many days does that take?
선생님: 그게 며칠이나 걸리는데?
Tommy: I had to practice driving to prepare for the test.
타미: 시험 준비하느라 운전 연습을 해야 했어요.
Teacher: I'd like to point out that you've been absent many times this term.
선생님: 이번 학기에 결석이 많았다는 걸 지적하고 싶었다.
Tommy: I've had a lot of bad luck this term.
타미: 이번 학기엔 운 나쁜 일이 많았어요.
Teacher: Call it what you want but as far as I'm concerned you're in serious trouble.
선생님: 그걸 뭐라고 하던 간에 내 생각에는 네 문제는 심각해.
