영어 단어 풀이

1. back out
Yes, to back out, we know the verb 'back' means to move to the rear,
to go backwards. To back out something then is to try to get away from it,
perhaps even cancel.

※ 'chicken out' is to be afraid
    'cop out' is to provide some excuse
    'back out' is to cancel 
 
2. bottom out
Oh, my. Well if we can imagine that the top is the best, then we can understand
the bottom is the worst. To bottom out then is to reach the bottom,
to hit the bottom ,to be at a low or very bad point.

3. cross out
Ah, to cross out. Cross as a verb means to draw a line through. So it doesn't mean to cancel, but perhaps using your pen or pencil on a piece of paper or a calendar to say "Um, Nope, not gonna do that one that one's cancelled." and you actually draw a line through it.

John's Recap
Jake, recently I got some economic advice from our very good friend 홍길동  and he told me that he had invested money in the stock market,
but most of the companies he invested in bottomed out. Oh very disappointing.
He lost a lot of money he was gonna cross out a lot of those companies from his portfolio but then he decided "No no no. It's a bad time to back out.
Wait, wait and wait. And some day those companies might recover and he might recover his money so even though things bottomed out he's waiting. Hopefully things will be okay.
