Meaning
"Let me check"는 영어에서 누군가의 요청이나 질문에 대해 정보를 확인하거나 검토하겠다는 의사를 표현할 때 사용됩니다. 이 표현은 주로 상대방이 궁금해하는 사항에 대해 정확한 정보를 제공하기 전에 사용하는 문구입니다.
예를 들어, 대화 중에 누군가가 특정 정보나 일정에 대해 물어볼 때, "Let me check"라고 대답하면, 상대방에게 곧바로 확인하겠다는 뜻을 전달할 수 있습니다. 이는 상대방에게 기다려 달라는 의미를 내포하면서도 공손하게 대처할 수 있는 방법입니다.
일상생활에서뿐만 아니라 비즈니스 상황에서도 자주 사용됩니다. 예를 들어, 고객이 재고나 서비스 가능 여부를 물어볼 때, 담당 직원이 "Let me check"라고 답함으로써 즉시 확인에 나설 것이라는 신뢰감을 줄 수 있습니다.
이 표현은 상대방에게 시간을 주면서도 대화를 이어갈 수 있는 유용한 방법이므로, 다양한 상황에서 활용할 수 있습니다.
