    The couple over at that table would like some music.


    How's your head feeling?

    I shouldn't have gone with Larry and the guys last night.

    Can you sleep off your hang over this afternoon? 오늘 오후에 잠을 좀 자면 숙취가 사라지지 않을까?

    I guess so, but it's seems like such a waste of time. 그럴 것 같긴 한데, 그건 정말 시간 낭비인 것 같아.

    There are so many savory(맛좋은) dishes to choose from 

    Are you going to get the same dish as usual?

    That blunder he made may cost him his job. 어처구니 없는 실수 때문에 그는 실직을 할지도 모른다.

    I know the odor is strong but you'll get used to it over time. 그 냄새가 강한 건 알겠지만, 시간이 지나면 익숙해질거야.

    I've been feeling the pinch(손가락으로 집어내다) too. 나도 요새 돈에 좀 쪼들이거든

    We still have some savings, but we'll feel the pinch next month.

    I used to skip the breakfast at home, 

    or choke down(to eat something quickly) a piece of toast as I hightailed(서둘러 떠나다, 급히 달리다.) it out the door, but now I make a smoothie.

    We had to hightailit to the market before they closed for the day.

    I was so hungry I chocked down a whole bag of chips on my way home.

    Far be it from me(~할 마음은 조금도 없지만) to want to lead you astray(길을 잃고; 정도에서 벗어나' 타락하여). 내가 너를 나쁜 길로 빠지게 하면 안되지.
