Hi this is Jennifer Yoo with ENGLISH WITH YOO! 안녕하세요 English with Yoo!의 Jennifer Yoo입니다.
오늘의 표현은 help yourself 입니다.

Today, we are going to learn a common American expression. Before we find out what it means, let’s listen to today’s conversation. 그럼 오늘의 대화를 들어보면서 ‘help yourself’가 무슨 뜻인지 알아보겠습니다. 잘 들어보세요. Listen carefully.

Help yourself
Jason: Hey, who brought all these doughnuts? They look delicious!
Jen: I did.
Jason: Can I have one of them?
Jen: Of course, help yourself.
Jason: Thank you!

오늘 본문에서 Jason이 “Hey, who brought all these doughnuts? They look delicious! 와, 이 도넛을 다 누가 사왔니? 정말 맛있어 보여!”라고 합니다. 그러자 저는 “I did. 내가 샀어.”라고 답하는데요. Jason은 “Can I have one of them? 나 하나 먹어도 돼?”라고 다시 묻습니다. 저는 “Of course, help yourself. 물론이지, 마음껏 먹어.”라고 말합니다.

Now keep today’s expression ‘help yourself’ in mind and let’s hear the conversation again. 그럼 다시 한번 대화를 들어볼까요?

Help yourself

Jen: I did.
Jason: Can I have one of them?
Jen: Of course, help yourself.
Jason: Thank you!

Today’s expression is help yourself. When I tell you to help yourself, I’m telling you to please take what you want without asking permission. It simply means to serve or provide yourself with something. Help yourself는 미국인들이 자주 쓰는 영어 표현인데요. 마음껏 하세요, 좋은 대로 하세요 라는 의미입니다.

오늘 본문에서 제가 맛있는 도넛을 사온 모양입니다. Jason은 제게 하나 먹어도 되냐고 묻는데요. 저는 “그럼, 마음껏 먹어.”라고 답했죠. 영어로 “Of course, help yourself.”라고요. 이렇게 누군가에게 마음껏 드세요 라고 할 때 쓸 수 있는 영어 표현이 바로 ‘help yourself’입니다.

그럼 오늘의 표현 ‘help yourself’가 일상에서 어떻게 활용되는지 예문을 통해 살펴볼까요? Now let me give you some example sentences using today’s expression. “Please, help yourself to the dishes here.” 라는 문장은 “여기 있는 음식, 마음껏 드세요.” 라는 뜻입니다. Here is another example sentence. “Just help yourself and do what you would like.” 라는 문장은 “당신이 좋을 대로 하세요”로 해석할 수 있습니다. Now that you know what today’s expression means, let’s listen to the conversation for the last time.

Help yourself
Jason: Hey, who brought all these doughnuts? They look delicious!
Jen: I did.
Jason: Can I have one of them?
Jen: Of course, help yourself.
Jason: Thank you!

Let’s review what we have learned today. Help yourself means you should feel free to take whatever you like and however much you like. HELP YOURSELF. Now try using this expression ‘help yourself’ on your own. 지금까지 ENGLISH WITH YOO에 Jennifer Yoo입니다. Until next time, bye bye!
