Rolling은 "구르다" 의 뜻에서 "돈이 많다?" ??...
어원
- 가끔 우리는 "돈 벼락을 맞고 싶다" 라고 합니다. 물론 벼락을 맞으면 돌아가시겠지만, 그 정도까지 많이 쌓여 있는 돈에서 헤매고 싶다라는 것이겠죠. 상상을 해 보세요. 돈이 산더미처럼 쌓여 있는 곳에서 뒹굴 뒹굴 굴러 다닌다면? 바로 그래서 rolling in it 이라고 하는 것 입니다.
- 간혹 어떤 이들은 "돈이 굴러들어 온다" 라고 하는 뜻으로 rolling을 쓰지 않았냐고 하더군요. 그렇게 생각할 수도 있습니다.
- 결국 같은 뜻이겠죠. Rolling in it은 "떵떵거릴 정도로 돈이 많다" 라고 해석하면 됩니다.
