미국 캐나다 생활 영어: It's not too shabby

안녕하세요

미국 캐나다 실생활 영어 알려드리는 카니잉글리시입니다 ^^

"It's not too shabby" 

"'It's not too shabby'은 영어에서의 비공식적인 표현으로, 어떤 것이 기대보다 더 나은 것이거나 꽤 좋다는 것을 나타내는 데 사용됩니다. 다시 말해, 'it's not too shabby'라고 말하면, 예상보다 더 나은 것에 대한 기쁜 놀라움이나 승인을 표현하고 있습니다.

이는 특별하게 뛰어나지 않아도 만족스러운 상황, 결과 또는 노력을 나타내기 위한 친근한 표현입니다. 종종 너무 과도하게 칭찬하지 않으면서 무언가를 인정하고 감사하는 방법으로 사용됩니다. 예를 들어, 누군가가 당신의 일을 칭찬하면 "It's not too shabby"라고 대답하면, 당신은 그들의 칭찬을 겸허히 인정하고 있습니다."

한 마디로

"꽤 괜찮아"라는 소리입니다. ^^

 

예문으로 뉘앙스 확실히 파악하고 가겠습니다.

고고!
