[DAY026] I didn't mean to

🍀Today's Expression🍀 I didn't mean to 그러려고 한 게 아니었어

 

😊함께 알아두면 좋아요😊

[1] 'I didn't mean to' vs 'intend'

[1] *'I didn't mean to'가 보다 캐주얼한 느낌

[2] *다음 문장 (1), (2)는 의미는 같으나 말의 무게가 다름

[2] *(2)I was going to apologize.

 

[3] 'Do you mean that?' vs 'Are you serious?'

[3] *Do you mean that? → 말의 내용에는 문제가 없으나 상대가 진심으로 하는 말인지 묻고 싶을 때

🍀Question of the day🍀 그럴 의도가 아니었는데 오해가 생긴 적이 있나요?

 

[한 문장 영작]

This year, I don't work out so I get tired even a little bit activity. One day, I met my friend and she feel like that I can't focus on the conversation and don't have any energy. She told me that we go back home and get some rest. I didn't mean to borther.

올해 들어 운동을 안 해서 그런지 몰라도 조금만 움직여도 쉽게 지치더라고. 하루는 친구를 만났는데 내가 대화에 집중도 못하고 기운도 없어보였는지 일찍 들어가서 쉬자고 하더라고. 신경쓰이게 하려던 건 아니었는데.

 

[챗GPT 수정 ver.]

I haven't been exercising since the beginning of this year, so I get tired easily even with a little bit activity. One day, I met a friend, and she noticed that I couldn't focus on the conversation and seemed very drained. She suggested that we go back home and rest early. I didn't mean to worry her.
