오늘의 영어 표현은: It’s definitely spontaneous.

A couple of days ago, I bumped into Jackie and Andrew. They actually decided to spontaneously rent a bike and go biking around the city.

제가 재키와 앤드류를 워싱턴 디씨의 거리에서 우연히 만났습니다. 마침 두 사람은 즉흥적으로 자전거를 빌려 도시를 돌아보며 주말을 즐길 계획이라고 하더라구요.

Andrew: Right! We’ve been talking about where we are going but we’re not sure.
Jackie: Yeah, we will find some shopping and some place good to eat. It should be fun!

Any plans on where you guys are going to go? “자전거를 타고 어디로 갈 계획인가요?” 라고도 물어봤습니다. “It’s definitely spontaneous because we’re not familiar with the area at all!” 우리는 이 동네를 잘 몰라서 그냥 자전거를 타고 구경하면서 좋은 음식점이 있으면 가기도 하고, 그냥 계획없이 즉흥적으로 도시를 구경할 겁니다.” 라고 하더라구요.
