시간을 때우다

#. 시간을 때우다 

 

@ in the nick of time "아슬아슬하게 때를 맞추어" 막판에 아슬아슬하게 했다

 

Hello?

> Hi, It's Jack. Are you still at the office?

Yeah, but I'm just about to leave.

> I guess I caught you just in the nick of time. Hey, Listen, I forgot a very important file on my desk. Can you make a scan of it and email it to me? It'll only take, like, 5 minutes.

OK, no problem.

> That's the best - thank you so much.

See you tomorrow, Jack.

> OK, bye.

 

@ to kill time "시간을 때우다"  해야 하는 일에 앞서 남은 시간을 다른 일로 보내는 상황을 말함

I've got an hour to kill. "한 시간 정도 시간을 때워야 한다"  Kill some time on Facebook.

 

Hello?

> Hey, what's up? What are you doing right now?

Hey, Uh, I've got no plans. Why?

> Do you feel like grabbing a coffee? I'm in your neighborhood and I've got an hour to kill before I need to go to work.

Huh! Sure, sound good. Should we meet at the corner cafe in 10 minutes?

> Yeah, perfect. OK, I'll see you there.

OK.
