미용실 영어 #6. ahead of you vs. before you 대기자 안내 (ahead of you 표현)

 

 "ahead of you" vs. "before you"

• 둘 다 씁니다. 하지만 회화에서는 "ahead of you"가 훨씬 자연스러움!
• "before you"는 문법적으로 맞지만, 약간 딱딱하거나 번역체처럼 들릴 수 있어요.

예를 들어:
“She has a customer ahead of you.” ← 제일 자연스러움
“There are two people ahead of you.” ← 아주 자주 씀
“There’s one person before you.” ← 어색하진 않지만 좀 덜 쓰임

 

 

 

A. 기본 표현 (丁寧하고 간단한 스타일):

"Excuse me, sir. She already has a customer before you, so you'll be the second."
→ (실례합니다. 지금 손님 한 분 계셔서, 고객님은 두 번째입니다.)

 

B. 조금 더 캐주얼하면서도 친절한 톤:

"Excuse me, sir. She’s with someone right now, and there’s one more before you. You’ll be second."
→ “지금 다른 분 시술 중이고, 그 전에 한 분 더 계세요. 두 번째 되실 거예요.”

 

C. 포멀하고 정중한 안내 스타일 (리셉션 톤):

"Excuse me, sir. She currently has a client, and there is another one ahead of you. You’ll be the second in line."

Tip!

"You would second one" → 의미는 보이지만, 영어에서는

"You’ll be second."
"You're second in line."
이런 식으로 be 동사 + 서수 표현이 훨씬 자연스러워요.
