- insinuate 은연중에, 조심스럽게 내포하다, 밀어넣다 [인씨뉴에이트]

- take something with a grain of salt 들은 것을 다 믿지 않다 (사실이 아닐 가능성이 많을 거라 생각해서), 가감해서 듣다
Andy seemed to be really fond of the girl he met at the club. He never stopped gushing over her. He falls head over heals in love so readily, and he exaggerates about what he likes, so I took it with a grain of salt. When I first saw her in person, her voice came to my attention. That voice is very uniqe, and somehow I was very familiar with it. I tried to insinuate baits in order to find any clues, asking some personal questions discreetly. She said she doesn't drink alcohol on account of health issue. They met clubbing, that didn't make sense to me. I decided to test out. "I'll invite you to the bar I own, and you can drink as much as you want, you still don't want to drink? this offer holds good only tonight."
on account of 은 because of something 이지만 주로 부정적인 맥락으로 쓰인다.
