미국 캐나다 생활 영어: By the skin of my teeth

​

안녕하세요

미국 캐나다 실생활 영어 알려드리는 카니잉글리시입니다 ^^

​

"By the skin of my teeth"

"by the skin of my teeth" 표현은 매우 좁거나 가까운 상황에서의 탈출을 전달하기 위해 사용되는 관용구입니다. 누군가가 "by the skin of their teeth"으로 성공했거나 생존했다고 말할 때, 그들은 간신히 성공했거나, 결과가 매우 가까웠거나 실패나 재앙을 가까스로 피했다는 것을 의미합니다.

 

한 마디로

"간신히 또는 가까스로"라는 소리입니다. ^^

​

예문으로 뉘앙스 확실히 파악하고 가겠습니다.

고고!
