jet lag

 :  해외로 나갔을때 시차때문에 피곤한 상태를 jet lag 라고 합니다.

Flying across the world is very tiring. When you fly from one country to another country, like from Korea to the USA for example, the time difference is great. Your body is accustomed to sleeping at a certain time, which is a different time of day in the USA. The Korean morning is the American night. When you arrive in Korea in the American morning, you have a whole day ahead of you, when your body wants to go to sleep. This condition lasts for a long while, about two weeks, depending on the person. We call this condition "jet lag," meaning that by taking a jet, your body is experiencing a delay of sleep. Therefore, your are very tired.

Jane : Brandon, you look so tired.

          (브랜든, 너 엄청 피곤해보여)

Brandon : Yeah, I just flew in from Seoul. I am so jet lagged right now.

                 (응 나 방금 서울에서 돌아오는 길이야. 시차 적응이 안돼서 그래.)

* I have some really bad jet lag. 또는 I have jet lag. 라고 쓰는것도 가능하지만,

I am so jet lagged. 라는 말이 훨씬 보편적으로 쓰입니다.
