[EBS 진짜 미국 영어] Actions speak louder words. (2023.1.5.)

January 5, 2023

 

Actions speak louder words.

말보다 행동이 중요하다

 

A: I care about our family more than work.

B: Well, actions speak louder than words.

A: I married you. What about that action?

B: Yes, but does anyone at your work know that I even exist?

 

말보다 행동인 타입입니다. 한다면 합니다.

I'm an actions-speak-louder-than-words type of person. I actually do what I say I'm going to do.

 

아이디어는 매우 흔하지만, 행동이야말로 성취도가 높은 사람들을 다른 사람들과 구별 짓는 요소 입니다.

Ideas are a dime a dozen, but it is the action that seperates high achievers from everyone else.

 

practice what you preach

설교하는 것을 실천하다. 언행 일치

 

A: Why do you think he's a hypocrite? 왜 그가 위선자라 생각해?

B: He doesn't practice what he preaches. 

A: I see. So he's all talk. 그렇구나. 그는 입만 살았네.

 

We should practice what we preach and should practice what we say.

 

lead by example 솔선수범하다

walk the talk 말을 행동으로 옮기다

behave as you want others to behave 다른 사람들이 행동하기를 바라는 대로 행동하다

A picture is worth a thousand words. / A picture paints a thousand words. 백번 듣는 것보다 한번 보는게 낫다.

A good sketch is better than a long speech.

talk is cheap 말은 쉽다

money talks 돈이 최고다

 

(돈을 지불하는 상황에만 사용)

he ended up buying it. He really put his money where his mouth is.

Put you money where your mouth is! You've been saying that for years now!
