Brian was being such a big mouth. 걔 말이 아주 많아.”라고 하자 Jason이 “Oh I didn’t know he was such abig mouth. 아 그래? 난 걔가 그렇게 입이 가벼운지 몰랐어. I’d better be careful next time. 다음에는 조심해야겠네.

Today’s expression is big mouth. A big mouth is someone who talks too much or too loudly. They usually go around gossiping or telling secrets. Big mouth문자 그대로 하면 ‘큰 입’이라는 의미인데요. 시끄럽고 말이 많은 사람 말을 함부로 하는 사람 자기과시를 잘하는 사람을 말합니다. 입이 가볍고 신중하지 못하니 비밀도 잘 못 지키는 사람이겠죠. 말실수로 문제도 일으킬 수 있을 거고요. 오늘 본문에서 Mike 가 Jason에게 브라이언이 네가 여자 만나고 있다는 걸 말하고 다닌다고 하자 Jason이 브라이언에게 실망하며 “Oh I didn’t know he was such a big mouth. 아 그래? 난 걔가 입이 그렇게 가벼운지 몰랐어.” 라고 했죠. 이렇게 누군가가 입이 가볍다는 걸 표현하고 싶을 때 ‘big mouth’를 쓰면 됩니다. 이제 예문을 들어 볼까요? “Promise me that you won’t be a big mouth.”라고 하면 “말 많이 안 하기로 나랑 약속해.” 라는 뜻이 됩니다. 또 다른 예를 들어 보겠습니다. “I can’t believe you just said that in front of everyone. You are such a big mouth.” 라고 하면 “네가 여러 사람 앞에서 그런 말을 했다는 게 믿어지지 않아. 너 정말 입이 가볍구나.” 라는 뜻입니다. Now you know what today’s expression means right? Then we will listen to the conversation for the last time.
