영어공부 36탄(엉뚱한 질문을 할때/important대신 쓰는 말/sore)

1. 엉뚱한 질문를 했을때, 

~That's an interesting question. (물론 진짜 흥미로운 질문일때도 쓰이지만, 특이하거나 황당한 질문일때도 사용됨)

ex) That's an interesting question, but can I get back to you on that?

    That's an interesting question, but can we stay on the topic?

    That's an interesting choice.

    That is an interesting point.

2. important 대신에 쓰는 말

- I can't stress enough~ = I can't emphasize enough~

ex) I can't stress enough how important it is.

단독적으로 쓰고 싶다면, 

I can't stress that enough. = I can't emphasize that enough. 그걸/그점을 아무리 강조해도 부족해요.

I cannot stress this enough.

I can't thank you enough.

I can't apologize enough.

3. sore : 뻐근한/따금거리는

be동사+ sore 뻐근해

My back is sore.

My throat is sore.

sore : (특정 부위가) 뻐근한, 쑤시는

sick : (몸 전체적으로) 아픈

아픈 정도로 구별하면, 

be 동사+sore(욱신/뻐근/따금하다) < hurt (아프다) < be동사+ sick (몸 전체가 다 아프다)
