Feifei
Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Feifei.

안녕하세요. The English We Speak에 오신걸 환영합니다. Feifei입니다.

Neil
And I’m hungry – I mean Neil. Feifei, why did you book this studio recording session at ​midday? I'm starving! Do you fancy going for lunch? I've heard that new chicken restaurant just down the road is excellent!

저 배고파요. Neil입이다. Feifei, 왜 점심 때 스튜디오 녹음 세션을 예약했어요? 저 굶주리고 있어요. 점심먹으러 가는 걸 생각하나요? 저 길 바로 아래에 새로운 닭요리 식당이 훌륭하다고 들었어요!

Feifei
Not sure about that.

확실치 않아요.

Neil
Oh, have you been there before?

오, 전에 거기 가봤어요?

Feifei
Yes, and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

네, 그리고 제 입에 나쁜 맛을 남겼어요.

Neil
Oh really? So the food's bad? Everyone says it's great!

오 그래요? 음식이 별로였어요? 모두 다 훌륭하다고 말해요!

Feifei
Well, the food was great…

음, 음식은 훌륭했어요...

Neil
Eh? The food was great but it left a bad taste in your mouth? I don't understand!

에? 음식이 훌륭했는데 입에 나쁜 맛을 남겼다고요? 이해가 안 돼요!

Feifei
Let me explain. If something leaves a bad taste in your mouth, it means you've 'had a bad experience and the memory is unpleasant'.

설명해줄게요. 어떤 것이 당신 입에 나쁜 맛을 남긴다면, 그건 당신이 안 좋은 경험을 했고 기억이 즐겁지 않다는 뜻이에요.

Neil
Oh I see. So, what went wrong?

오 알겠어요. 그럼 뭐가 문제였어요?

Feifei
The bill was twice as much as it should have been!



Neil
Ah, I get it now! We use the expression it leaves a bad taste in your mouth when we have a negative experience and feel bad or angry about it afterwards – like being ​ripped off in a restaurant!

아, 이제 알겠어요! 우리가 부정적인 경험을 하고 그것에 대해 계속 기분이 나쁘거나 화가 날 때 그것이 입에 나쁜 맛을 남긴다는 표현을 쓰는군요.

Feifei
Come on, Neil. Let's hear some examples. Then we can go for lunch somewhere that doesn't rip me off!



Examples
I refuse to go back to that hotel. They were so rude! It left a bad taste in my mouth.

When my boss sent me that angry email last thing on Friday, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

It left a bad taste in my mouth when I got fined for going just one mile an hour over the speed limit!



Feifei
This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English. And I'm with Neil, who was wondering why I've got a bad taste in my mouth when it's got nothing to do with food.

Neil
We use the expression it 'leaves a bad taste in your mouth' when we have a negative experience and feel bad or angry about it afterwards. So, is it time for lunch?

Feifei
Yes, Neil! I really want you to come and try that new tofu place. The food is just delicious and the service is excellent!

Neil
So, will it leave a good taste in my mouth?

Feifei
It sure will! Bye.

Neil
Bye.
