Idiom 14: Get a kick out of

상황: 사람이 무언가를 즐길수 있다는 것은 좋은 것 같습니다. 무미건조하게 사는 삶보다는 무언가를 즐기고 거기서 오는 즐거움으로 인해 삶이 풍성해지는 그런 삶의 패턴을 우린 추구해야 하지 않을까요. 물론 이러한 즐김은 중독(addiction)과는 구분되어져야 하겠지요. 우리가 쉽게 알수 있는 단어는 enjoy가 있겠지요. 그러나 이러한 뜻을 가진 많이 사용되는 이 숙어를 아는것도 나쁘진 않겠지요.

get a kick out of = enjoy = be delighted (or amused) by
= receive a special pleasure from someone or something
즐기다, 재미있어 하다, 자극적이다

I really get a kick out of his joke.
I think that my father got a kick out of seeing his old school friend.

Frand Sinatra의 노래중에 I get a kick out of you란 곡이 있습니다. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtwO2tKZmwQ) 한번 들어보시구요...가사는 올려놓습니다.

My story is much to sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Then I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face

Chorus:I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesnt thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some like the perfume from spain
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
But I get a kick out of you
( some like the bop-type refrain )
( I'm sure that if, I heard even one riff )
( it would bore me terrifically too )
( but I get a kick out of you )
( some they may go for cocaine )
( I'm sure that if, I took even one sniff )
( it would bore me terrifically too )
( but I get a kick out of you )
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though its clear to see, you obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But
I get a kick out of you
