오늘의 영어 표현은 Ears are burning. 말 그대로하면, “Ears 귀가, are burning 탄다, 귀가 불 타고 있어”가 되는데요.

우리는 보통, 누군가가 없는 상황에서 그 사람에 대한 이야기를 하게 되면, “아마 그 사람 지금쯤 귀가 간질간질할 거야”라고 얘기하죠.

네, 그렇게 뒤에서 얘기를 하면 귀가 간지럽다는 표현이 바로 Ears are burning 입니다. 그러니까 “If people say ‘my ears were burning’, 만약 my ears were burning 이라고 얘기한다면 it means someone was talking about them, but they weren’t there to hear about it. 누군가가 그 사람이 없을 때, 그 사람에 대해 얘기하는 상황을 가리키게 되겠죠.

Imagine this situation. 여러분들도 한 번 상상해보세요. Now, someone is talking about you in another place, not here. 지금 누군가가 어딘가에서 여러분에 대한 얘길 하고 있다면요, 어째 귀가 좀 간질간질하신가요?
