Jen: Hey, do you know of any good Thai restaurants around here?
Jason: Yes I do! There is one just a block away. Their food is better than good. It’s out of this world! It’s so delicious!
Jen: Really? Their food is out of this world? Man, I’m definitely going there! Thanks!

오늘 본문에서 제가 태국 음식을 먹고 싶어서 Jason 에게 혹시 근처에 태국 음식 잘하는 식당을 아냐고 묻습니다. “Hey, do you know of any good Thai restaurants around here?”

그러자, Jason은 “Yes I do! There is one just a block away. 응, 알아! 한 블록만 가면 있어. Their food is better than good. It’s out of this world! It’s so delicious! 그 집 음식은 그냥 보통 맛있는 정도가 아니야. 이 세상 맛이 아닐 정도로 훌륭하다고. 정말 맛있어!”라고 극찬을 하는데요.

그러자 저는 “Really? Their food is out of this world? Man, I’m definitely going there! Thanks! 그래? 그 정도로 맛있어? 그 식당에 꼭 가봐야겠는데.”라고 말합니다.

Now keep today’s phrase, ‘out of this world’ in mind and let’s hear the conversation again. 그럼 다시 한번 대화를 들어볼까요?

Jen: Hey, do you know of any good Thai restaurants around here?
Jason: Yes I do! There is one just a block away. Their food is better than good. It’s out of this world! It’s so delicious!
Jen: Really? Their food is out of this world? Man, I’m definitely going there! Thanks!

Today’s phrase is out of this world. If something is out of this world, it is fantastic and extremely good.

Out of this world를 직역하면 ‘이 세상 밖의 것.’ 즉 ‘세상에 없을 만큼 너무도 훌륭하다’, ‘굉장하다’ 라는 의미입니다. 무엇이 정말 좋거나 대단할 때 쓸 수 있는 표현이죠. 특히 Out of this world는 대체로 긍정적인 의미로 씁니다.

오늘 본문에서 Jason은 제게 태국 음식을 정말 잘하는 식당을 추천해줬습니다. "그 음식은 그냥 보통 맛있는 정도가 아니라 정말 훌륭하다"고 했습니다. “Their food is better than good. It’s out of this world! It’s so delicious!”이라고요. Now let’s listen to the conversation for the last time.

Let’s review. When you say that something is out of this world, it is fantastic and extremely good! OUT OF THIS WORLD.
