I'm in the dark 의미

아무것도 모르겠어 : I'm in the dark

This is it.
바로 여기야.

The infamous Lizzie Borden House.
악명 높은 Lizzie Borden의 집.

You have any idea what happened in there?
혹시 무슨 일이 있었는지 알고 있어?

No, I'm in the dark on this one.
아니, 여기에 대해선 아무것도 몰라.

Well, let's just say that,
음, 간단히 말해서,

some brutal murders happened in there that were lend itself to being haunted.
굉장히 잔혹한 살인이 여기서 일어났고, 그거 때문에 귀신이 들렸다고 하지.

Well, we were gonna take Sierra to her volleyball fundamentals thing. "gonna" → "going to"
음, 원래 저희는 Sierra를 배구 기초 훈련에 데려다주려고 했는데요.

And uh.. The place where it's normally at, there's a basketball game going on.
근데 그게.. 평소에 진행하던 곳에서 지금 농구 경기 중이라고 하네요.

So, no volleyball there.
그래서 거기서 배구는 못 하게 됐어요.

So, Tiffany's going to take her to another high school where it was at last weekend.
그래서 지난 주말에 연습했던 고등학교로 Tiffany가 그녀를 데려다줄 거에요.

And didn't get an email saying where it was going to be or if it was cancelled or anything.
근데 이게 취소된다거나, 뭐 어떻게 된다는 메일을 받은 적이 없거든요.

We just don't know. We're in the dark.
우린 그냥 모르겠어요. 아무것도 모르는 상태에요.

But uh, it's two hours, two and a half hours, so it's worth going.
하지만 이게 2시간, 2시간 반 동안 가는 거리라 가볼 만은 해요.

Dumb luck?
운이었다고?

Was it?
그렇다고 생각해?

I mean, look, we were unprepared, in the dark, disavowed.
내 말은 그러니까, 우리는 준비도 되지 않았고, 아무것도 몰랐고, 거절당했어.

And the only thing that functioned properly on that mission was this team.
그 미션에서 제대로 된 것이라고는 단 하나 이 팀 밖에 없었어.

해야 하는 목록에서 가장 오래된 것들부터 해결하세요.

The ones that you've put off the longest.
가장 오래 미루고 있던 것들 말이에요.

For me, it was errands that I've put off for way too long.
저의 경우에는, 너무 오랫동안 미뤄둔 잡일들이 있었어요.

So I set aside time to tackle all of them at once.
그래서 그 잡일을 한 번에 해결하려고 시간을 비워 놨었죠.

왜 너는 항상 모든 걸 막판까지 미루는 건데?

And why can't you just relax and chill, huh?
왜 너는 그냥 여유롭게, 느긋하게 있지 못하는 건데?

Because I don't put off till tomorrow what can be done today.
왜냐면 난 오늘 해야할 일을 내일로 미루지 않으니까.

Well, however much the buttocks are in a hurry, they'll always remain behind.
글쎄, 그러나 궁둥이가 허둥댈수록, 더 뒤쳐지는 법이지.

Yeah, think I don't know quotes too?
후, 내가 명언 모르는 줄 아니?
