   " 삐지기는 유치하게 " 의 표현은?

   => sulk : 뿌루퉁해지다, 뚱해지다, 샐쭉해지다
       sulky : 뚱한, 샐쭉한, 뿌루퉁한

       He was in the sulks. (걔 삐져있었어.)
       He turned sulky. (걔 삐졌어.)


       영국에 있을 때는 cross도 많이 쓰더군요. '시무룩한', '~에 화난'이니까 역시 삐졌다는 뜻도 됩니다.

       He is cross with me. (걔 나한테 화나[삐져]있어.)

       pout : 입을 삐죽거림, 시무룩함, 뿌루퉁한 얼굴, 대구의 일종, 베도라치의 일종
       (pout은 형용사로 쓰지 않고, silly는 형용사라 부사로 쓰지 않으니까요..)

        '유치하다'는 be childish 

        You're childishly sulky. 이런 건 부자연스럽구..(X)
        유치하게 삐지냐 : Are you sulky? You're so childish. (O) <美>
        Are you cross with me? C'mon, grow up!  <英>

A: How do you take your coffee? As I recall, you aren’t too keen on strong and black.
B: Bingo! I like it sweet and creamy. Plain black coffee is too bitter for me.
A: I take it you’re not a fan of espressos, then. You can’t get stronger than that.
B: (그렇게 강한 건 마실 순 없어.) They give me heartburn. Then, I can’t sleep all night, either.


A: 어떻게 커피를 마시니? 내 알기론, 강하고 진한 커피는 안 좋아 했던 것 같은데.
B: 맞았어. 나는 달콤하고 크림이 들어간게 좋아. 평범한 블랙커피는 나한텐 너무 쓴거 같아.
A: 그러면 넌 에스프레소를 좋아하진 않는거구나. 넌 그것보다 강한걸 마실 수 없을 테니까.
