Question 1

I don’t think Mom really cares what Rodrick plays or listens to, because to her, all music is the same.

Answer 1

*care : 돌봄, 상관하다, 배려하다
*I don’t care = I don’t mind : 상관없어

Question 2

That really bugged Rodrick, so he drove off to the store and came back fifteen minutes later with some headphones. And that pretty much took care of the problem.

Answer 2

*drive off : 떠나다
The robbers drove off in a stolen vehicle. 강도들은 훔친 차를 타고 떠났다.
*take care of : ~을 돌보다, ~을 책임지고 떠맡다, ~을 처리(수습)하다=deal with

Question 3

Mom and Dad never let me buy them at the mall. So I realized the only way I was gonna get a chance to listen to Rodrick’s CD was if I snuck it out of the house.

Answer 3

*sneak : 살금살금[몰래] 가다 I sneaked up the stairs.
(흔히 허락을 받지 않고) 몰래 하다[가져가다] We sneaked a look at her diary.
(하찮은 것을) 몰래 챙기다[가져가다] I sneaked a cake when they were out of the room.

Question 4

Then I came up with this great idea for a game. The object was to put the headphones on your head and then try to shake them off without using your hands.

Answer 4

*come up with something : ~을 생산하다; 제시[제안]하다, (해답·돈 등을) 찾아내다[내놓다]
*shake off : 흔들어 떨어뜨리다, 회복하다, 따돌리다
*object : 물건, 물체, (욕망, 연구, 관심 등의) 대상, 목적, 목표

Question 5

Right in the middle of our game, Mrs. Craig came around the corner and caught us red-handed.

Answer 5

*come around the corner 모퉁이를 돌다.
*red-handed 현행범
*be caught red-handed

Question 6

I could tell she didn’t want to be interrupted.

Answer 6

*I can tell : 딱 보니 알겠네. 딱 티나네.
I could tell she spoke in earnest.

Question 7

But right when Mrs. Craig was about to let us go, Rowley started blubbering about how he doesn’t want rock and roll to ruin his “brains”

Answer 7

*be about to do : 막 ~을 하려고 하다
*blubber : (못마땅함) 흐느껴[엉엉] 울다
