Significado: In trouble with your partner or family member — they're mad at you and you're in their bad graces.

惹恼了伴侣或家人——他们正在生你的气，你正处于'被罚'的状态。

Estar en problemas con tu pareja o un familiar: están enfadados contigo y estás en su lista negra.

パートナーや家族に怒られている状態——何か悪いことをして機嫌を損ねてしまった状態。

파트너나 가족에게 잘못을 저질러 미움을 사고 있는 상태 — 상대가 화가 나 있고 눈 밖에 난 상태.

Being in the doghouse means you've done something wrong and now you're facing the consequences — your partner is giving you the cold shoulder, making you sleep on the couch, or just radiating disappointment. The image is of being banished from the comfortable house to the dog's house. It's almost always used humorously.

处于'被罚'状态意味着你做错了事，现在在承受后果——你的另一半对你冷淡、让你睡沙发，或者浑身散发着失望的气息。画面感就是你被从舒适的屋子里赶到了狗窝。这个说法几乎总是带着幽默感使用。

Estar in the doghouse significa que has hecho algo mal y ahora sufres las consecuencias: tu pareja te da la espalda, te manda a dormir al sofá o simplemente irradia decepción. La imagen es la de ser desterrado de la casa confortable a la caseta del perro. Casi siempre se usa con humor.

「犬小屋に入れられる」とは、何か悪いことをして、その結果を受けている状態のこと——パートナーに無視される、ソファで寝かされる、ひたすら失望のオーラを浴びせられるなど。快適な家から追い出されて犬小屋に住まわされるイメージ。ほぼ常にユーモラスに使われる。

개집에 들어갔다는 것은 뭔가 잘못을 저질러서 그 대가를 치르고 있다는 뜻이다 — 파트너가 냉대하거나, 소파에서 자게 하거나, 실망감을 내비치고 있는 상태다. 편안한 집에서 쫓겨나 개집으로 보내진 이미지에서 유래했다. 거의 항상 유머러스하게 사용된다.
