미국 캐나다 생활 영어: Walk on eggshells

​

안녕하세요

미국 캐나다 실생활 영어 알려드리는 카니잉글리시입니다 ^^

​

"Walk on eggshells"

계란껍질 위를 걷다"는 말은 미사여구, 섬세함, 또는 조심스러움을 의미하는 관용구로, 

상대방을 화나게 하거나 문제를 일으키지 않기 위해 행동이나 말에 대해 매우 조심스럽거나 신중해야 함을 나타냅니다. 

누군가가 "계란껍질 위를 걷고 있다"고 할 때, 

상황이 민감하거나 긴장되어 있으며 어떤 실수라도 부정적인 결과로 이어질 수 있다는 뜻입니다. 

이는 누군가를 화나게 하지 않기 위해 또는 어려운 상황을 악화시키지 않기 위해 극도의 주의가 필요하다는 것을 

시사합니다.

한 마디로

"살얼음판을 걷는다"라는 소리입니다. ^^

​

예문으로 뉘앙스 확실히 파악하고 가겠습니다.

고고!
