영어 단어 풀이
1. crack down
2. play down
Well, we did mention several times already the word 'play' simply implies how you behave
or what your action's all about. To play down, then, is to try to make something
seem to be less important than it is, by your actions, by your speaking to make
something feel weaker or less minimum.
3. dumb down
Ah, well, I know that you are all very intelligent, you all have very high I.Q.
What happens if you meet a little child or you meet someone who doesn't understand
what you're saying. Perhaps you have to change your style of speaking,
change your vocabulary. So that people can understand you better.
You probably wouldn't talk about nuclear science to three-year-old child.
You have to dumb down, bring your leve down to a level that is understandable.
John's Recap
Oh, recently, Jake, I had a very serious conversation with 홍길동.
The fact is he was not behaving very well. He was breaking rules and he was not being
very mannerly. I tried to explain to him about the history of culture and tradition.
But he pretended not to know what I was talking about.
So, okay, okay, I decided to dumb down. If you wanna play down your actions,
I said "Well, then, let me put it very simply. If you do not behave like a good guy,
I'm gonna crack down on you and you're no longer gonna be able to sleep in this house.
You'll have no more food. That'll be the end of it."
By the way, update. He is behaving much better now. Good guy again.
