결혼할 바로 그 사람




Jen: Hey Jason, I’ve always wanted to ask you. When did you know that Lily was the one?
Jason: I knew she was the one on our first date. I knew she was going to be my wife.

제가 Jason 에게 “Hey Jason, I’ve always wanted to ask you. When did you know that Lily was the one? 너한테 늘 이걸 물어보고 싶었어. 언제 릴리가 네 결혼 상대가 될 거라는 걸 알았니?” 라고 묻자 Jason이 살짝 웃으면서

“I knew she was the one on our first date. 아, 처음 데이트 때부터 바로 이 사람이구나 싶었지. I knew she was going to be my wife. 그때 이미 내 아내가 되리라고 생각했어.” 라고 대답하더라고요. Now keep today’s expression ‘be the one’ in mind and let’s hear the conversation again. 그럼 다시 한번 대화를 들어볼까요?

Jen: Hey Jason, I’ve always wanted to ask you. When did you know that Lily was the one?
Jason: I knew she was the one on our first date. I knew she was going to be my wife.

Today’s expression is be the one. If you say that someone is the one, then it means that he or she is the person you will marry. Be the one은 ‘결혼할 바로 그 사람’이라는 의미입니다. 그래서 사랑하는 사람에게 “You are the one.”이라고 하면 “너는 내가 결혼하고 싶은 사람이야.” 라는 뜻이죠.

오늘 본문에서 제가 Jason에게 언제 릴리가 결혼할 사람이라는 걸 알았느냐고 물어봤습니다. “When did you know that Lily was the one?” 이라고요. 바로 그와 같이 쓸 수 있는 겁니다. 예문을 통해 오늘 문형을 더 익혀보죠. “Francis said that Breanna is the one.” 이라고 하면 “Francis는 Breanna가 자신의 결혼 상대자라고 말했다.” 라는 뜻이 됩니다.

또 다른 예를 들어 보겠습니다. “Are you sure Gloria is the one?” 라고 하면 “글로리아가 네 결혼 상대라는 확신이 드니?” 라는 뜻이 됩니다. Now you know what today’s expression ‘be the one’ means right? Then we will listen to the conversation for the last time.

Jen: Hey Jason, I’ve always wanted to ask you. When did you know that Lily was the one?
Jason: I knew she was the one on our first date. I knew she was going to be my wife.

Let’s review. If you say that someone is the one, then it means that he or she is the person you will marry. BE THE ONE. Now try using this expression on your own.
