Today’s expression is out of your mind. If someone tells you that you are out of your mind, it means that you’re a little crazy or not thinking straight. It’s usually said to someone who has done or said something stupid or silly.

Out of your mind 말 그대로 해석하면 ‘너 정신 나갔니?” 라는 의미인데요. 당치도 않은 말을 하거나 어처구니없는 일을 저지른 사람에게 쓸 수 있는 표현입니다. ‘정신이 있는 거니 없는 거니?” “제정신이 아니구나.” 정도의 의미죠. 오늘 본문에서 Julie 가 폴 매카트니 공연 표를 200달러 주고 샀다니까 Max가 “Whoa! Are you out of your mind? 우와! 너 정신이 있는 거니?”라고 말입니다.

이제 예문을 통해 오늘 표현에 대해 더 자세히 알아보죠. “Why would you pay $500 for a hotel room for just one night? There is a pretty decent one for $100. You must be out of your mind!”라고 하면 “호텔에서 하룻밤만 잘 건데 왜 500달러씩이나 쓰고 그래? 100달러만 내도 아주 좋은 방 구할 수 있는데 말이야. 정신이 나갔구나.” 라는 뜻이 됩니다. Now you know what today’s expression means right? Then we will listen to the conversation for the last time.
