• Someone is on a crash diet: 속성 다이어트를 하다
e.g.)
A: I can hear your stomach growling from across the room.
B: I didn’t have a crumb of food today. I’m feeling faint.
A: 너 속성다이어트라도 하는 거야? They don’t work, you know.
B: I just haven’t had a free moment to grab a bite, yet.
* I can hear your stomach growling – I hear your belly calling for food / Your belly is calling out loudly
* from across the room – from all the way over there / from pretty far away
* have a crumb of food – have even one bite of food / eat one single thing
* I’m feeling faint. – I’m feeling weak. / I’m a bit dizzy. / It’s disorienting me.
* Are you on a crash diet?– Are you doing some kind of instant diet? / Are you dieting a radical way?
* They don’t work– They don’t give you good results / Those methods are not beneficial
* you know – as I’m sure you are aware / as you already know
* I just haven’t had a free moment– I’ve just been too busy / It’s just that I haven’t had any time
* grab a bite – get something to eat / have a quick meal / eat anything
