가끔 까다로운 단어를 만난다. given 이 그 대표적인 예이다. 분사형으로 사용되는데, 이렇게도 쓰이고 저렇게도 쓰이고, 마주치면 어떻게 해석해야할지 감이 안 잡힐 때도 있다. 캠브릿지 사전을 훑어보면서 이 단어를 공략해보도록 하자.

- spiral 나선형의
- prosperity 번영
- compartment 객실
- out of the blue 갑자기
- into the bargain 게다가, 뿐만아니라

My business is in a downward spiral now. I worked hard only for our prosperity. Even before we get to the height of it, we're going south. While I isolated myself in a small compartment blaming everything, out of the blue, some ideas to make up all of these popped into my head. I grabbed a pen and began sketching new strategies. I started to see the bright side. We'll be able to increase our revenue stream and get new clients into the bargain. 

downward spiral 은 상황이 끊임없이 안 좋아지고 나빠지는 상황을 말한다. 
be at the height of something 은 정점에 있는, 가장 높은 지점에 도달해있는 느낌이다. 
pop into my head 도 같이 기억해두면 큰 도움이 될 것 같다. 

at one's wits' end

Meaning

Idiom:  at one's wit's end

be anxious to

anxious는 불안한 이런 단어로만 알고있었는데 아래 블로그에 매우 잘 정리되어있다. anxious는 쥐어짜이는, 고통스러워하는 그림이라고 한다. anxious about 이라고 하면 -때문에 고통스러워하는 이지만 for 이 붙으면 -을 위해서 고통스러워하는, 그래서 열망하는 의 뜻이 된다.
