미국 캐나다 생활 영어: I am swamped

안녕하세요

미국 캐나다 실생활 영어 알려드리는 카니잉글리시입니다 ^^

"I am swamped" 

"I am swamped'라는 표현은 영어에서의 비공식적인 표현입니다. 

누군가가 'I am swamped'라고 말하면, 그들은 엄청 바빠서 많은 일, 작업 또는 책임을 감당하기 어려워하거나 

압도당하고 있다는 것을 의미합니다. 이는 그 사람이 현재 하는 일이 너무 많아서 스트레스를 느끼거나 

업무를 효과적으로 관리하기 어렵다는 생각을 전달합니다.

다시 말해, 'swamped'라는 것은 누군가가 현재 주어진 순간에 편안하게 처리할 수 있는 것보다 더 많은 일이 있음을 나타냅니다. 이는 그들이 아주 바쁘거나 무거운 업무 부담이 있다는 것을 표현하는 방법입니다."

한 마디로

"엄청 바쁘다"라는 소리입니다. ^^

 

예문으로 뉘앙스 확실히 파악하고 가겠습니다.

고고!
