   " 당신이 그것을 무척 기다려 온 것을 알고 있어요. "

   => I know you've been looking forward it.

   예) W : I'm making a traditional turkey dinner for Thanksgiving.
        M : I know you've been looking forward to it. I'm just wondering how you're going to finished all that turkey.
        W : You're going to help me.

   " hi-five라고 하던데 무슨 뜻인가요? "

   => 대체로 좋은일이 있을때 축하할일 있을때 손바닥을 들어 마주치면서 "high-five"를 외칩니다만 "축하해줘" 라는 뜻으로 "Give me five"하면서 high-five를 하기도 합니다.

선생님이나 스쿨 버스 운전사가 손바닥을 아래로 내리고 있으면, 아이들이 하나씩 손바닥을 치고 지나가는데...이때는 low-five(사전에는 없는 만들어낸 구어)로서 인사의 의미를 갖습니다.

   " 내 몸과 정신이 편안해져. "

   => I'm in tune with my soul

B: How so? I thought you were just stretching and meditating. I didn’t think it was a big deal.
A: My entire body and spirit feel mellow and relaxed. (내 몸과 정신이 편안해져.)
B: Not too many people can say that, I’ll give you that. Keep at it!

A:요가가 내 생활을 바꾸어놓았어. 뭐라 설명하긴 어렵긴 하지만 말야.
B:어떻게? 내 보기엔 너가 그냥 스트레칭하고 명상하는 것 같던데. 그게 그렇게 효과적이란 생각은 안들던데.
A:내 몸과 영혼 전체가 부드럽고 이완되는 걸 느껴. I’m in tune with my soul.
