1)  이해하기 힘든 사람:  tough nut to crack

 

Kate Winslet has said she loved reuniting with Titanic director James Cameron on Avatar 2 - after previously saying she wouldn't work with him again due to his 'bad temper'.

 

But in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, published in line with Titanic's release, Kate called James, 68, 'a really tough nut to crack', adding: 'There were times I was genuinely frightened of him.' 

 

While Kate said she 'did come to understand him' and 'a couple of times... felt he was someone I could take a country walk with, and enjoy it,' she told The Guardian two years later: 'He has a temper like you wouldn't believe.

'You'd have to pay me a lot of money to work with Jim again.'

 

1997년 "타이타닉" 개봉 직후에는, "나쁜 성격으로 다시는 같이 일하지 않겠다." 고 하고, 다시 "그를 이해할 수 있다. 그는 시골길을 같이 산책하고 즐길 수 있는 그런 사람이다." 

 

다시, 2년 뒤에는 "그는 믿을 수없을 만한 성격을 가졌다.  그와 일하려면 엄청난 돈을 받아야 한다." 고 했지요.

 

 

2)  꼬이다:  get twisted

 

'Looking back so much gets twisted. Jim is an amazing man and all the good things I ever said about him were left out so it's nice to be able to say how extraordinary he is and know people are going to listen this time.

 

 

3)  신비한, 매력적인:  mesmerizing

 

'How he creates these stories is just mesmerizing and he establishes a working environment that is so much fun, really collaborative and super experimental.

'It's an amazing thing to be a part of and I walked away thinking, 'I could do that again, and again, and again.'
