“That’s a steal”

아주 싼 거네요

(Jeff is visiting Alan at his house … )

(제프가 앨런의 집을 방문중이다…)

Jeff: Where did you get that bookshelf? It’s nice.

제프: 저 책장 어디서 샀어? 좋은데.

Alan: I bought it at a garage sale last week.

앨런: 지난주에 창고 세일에 가서 샀어.

Jeff: What did you pay for it?

제프: 얼마를 줬어?

Alan: Just $50.

앨런: 50달러.

Jeff: Really? That’s a steal! That’s pine.

제프: 정말? 엄청 싸네! 소나무인데.

Alan: I know. I also bought this table.

앨런: 그러게. 이 식탁도 샀지.

Jeff: What did that run you?

제프: 그건 얼마 했어?

Alan: It was $30 but I got him down to $25.

앨런: 30달러였는데 25달러로 깎았지.

Jeff: You always do well when you go to garage sales.

제프: 자넨 창고 세일에 가면 항상 좋은 거래를 하더라구.

Alan: I know. I guess I’ve got the knack.

앨런: 그러게. 나한테 그런 재주가 있나봐.
