1. It's important to dress up for your first day at work

If you have now gotten the job, it's really important to dress up for your first at work because it makes a great lasting impression for your collegues at work, for your boss, and if they think you're overdressed, they will let you know, but it never hurts to be overdressed the first day.

 

dress up: 옷을 갖춰 입다, 차려 입다

lasting: 지속되는

impression: 인상

overdressed: 과하게 차려입은

 

출근 첫날에는 잘 차려입고 가는 게 중요해요.

 

2. I have to dress up for my date tonight.

A: You're back. Was there something wrong with your purchase?

B: Yes, it's ugly.

A: Well, that's why it was 95% off.

B: Um, I have hot date tonight. I have to dress up for my date tonight.

A: Oh, well.. I have just what you're looking for.

3. I couldn't put the book down.

A: You're done with the book already?

B: This book was really great. I couldn't put it down.

A: Was that good? I should read it, too.

B: If you want it, it's yours.

 

When a book is really fun to read, it's hard to put it down and go to something else. In other words, "You couldn't stop reading the book."

A: Alex, have you ever read a book so good, you just couldn't put it down?

B: Sure. But I guess for me it's harder to put down a pizza, than it is for me to put down a book. I'd like pizza, sorry.

A: Speaking of not being able to put down a book, when you read a book from cover to cover without stopping, we say, "I read the whole book in one sitting."

B: 'In one sitting' means doing something without stopping. Just imagine you're sitting to do something the whole time, and not standing up even once to take a break.

 

in one sitting: 앉은자리에서

 

couldn't put it down

couldn't stop doing sth

do sth in one sitting

~하는 걸 멈출 수 없다, 손에서 뗄 수 없다.
