미국 캐나다 생활 영어: Catch someone off guard

​

안녕하세요

미국 캐나다 실생활 영어 알려드리는 카니잉글리시입니다 ^^

​

"Catch someone off guard"

"catch someone off guard"는 누군가를 예상치 못하게 놀라게 하거나 충격을 주는 것을 의미합니다.

누군가가 off guard에 걸리면 특정 상황, 발언 또는 행동에 대비하지 않아 진실되고

종종 계획되지 않은 반응을 보이게 됩니다.

한 마디로

"미처 생각지도 못하다"라는 소리입니다. ^^

​

예문으로 뉘앙스 확실히 파악하고 가겠습니다.

고고!
