1. 1

   B 자, 삼겹살 다 익었다. 우리 하윤이 오늘 농장 체험 다녀와서 배고프지? 많이 먹어.

   Ja, samgyeopsal da igeotda. Uri Hayuni oneul nongjang cheheom danyeowaseo baegopeuji? Mani meogeo.

   Right, the pork belly's done. You must be starving after the farm trip, Hayun. Eat up.

   Line 1
2. 2

   C 나 돼지고기 안 먹을래. 오늘 아기 돼지랑 친구 했어. 이름도 지어 줬단 말이야. 분홍이.

   Na dwaejigogi an meogeullae. Oneul agi dwaejirang chingu haesseo. Ireumdo jieo jwotdan mariya. Bunhongi.

   I'm not eating pork. I made friends with a baby pig today. I even gave it a name. Pinky.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 분홍이? 이름 귀엽다. 근데 하윤아, 이건 분홍이가 아니야. 전혀 다른 농장에서 온 고기야.

   Bunhongi? Ireum gwiyeopda. Geunde Hayuna, igeon bunhongiga aniya. Jeonhyeo dareun nongjangeseo on gogiya.

   Pinky? What a cute name. But Hayun, this isn't Pinky. This meat came from a completely different farm.

   Line 3
4. 4

   C 그래도 누군가의 분홍이였잖아. 이 돼지도 누가 이름을 지어 줬을 수도 있어. 생각하면 너무 불쌍해.

   Geuraedo nugungaui bunhongiyeotjana. I dwaejido nuga ireumeul jieo jwosseul sudo isseo. Saenggakamyeon neomu bulssanghae.

   But it was somebody's Pinky. Somebody might have given this pig a name too. It's so sad when I think about it.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 에헴, 이 사람아. 어른이 차려 준 음식을 두고 따지는 게 아닐세. 어서 들게, 식기 전에.

   Ehem, i sarama. Eoreuni charyeo jun eumsigeul dugo ttajineun ge anilse. Eoseo deulge, sikgi jeone.

   Ahem, my dear girl. One does not quibble over food one's elders have laid out. Eat up, before it gets cold.

   Line 5
6. 6

   C 아빠, 할아버지 흉내 내도 안 먹어. 그리고 우리 할아버지는 그렇게 말 안 해.

   Appa, harabeoji hyungnae naedo an meogeo. Geurigo uri harabeojineun geureoke mal an hae.

   Dad, doing an old-man voice won't make me eat it. And my grandpa doesn't even talk like that.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 거 봐, 안 통하잖아. 자기는 꼭 이럴 때 사극 말투가 나오더라.

   Geo bwa, an tonghajana. Jagineun kkok ireol ttae sageuk maltuga naodeora.

   See, it's not working. That period-drama voice always comes out at times like this.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 분위기 좀 풀어 보려고 그랬지. 하윤아, 사람은 원래 아주 옛날부터 고기를 먹었어. 그게 자연의 섭리야.

   Bunwigi jom pureo boryeogo geuraetji. Hayuna, sarameun wollae aju yennalbuteo gogireul meogeosseo. Geuge jayeonui seomniya.

   I was just trying to lighten the mood. Hayun, people have eaten meat since the very beginning. It's the law of nature.

   Line 8
9. 9

   C 사자가 얼룩말 잡아먹는 거? 근데 사자는 마트가 없잖아. 우리는 딴 거 먹어도 되잖아.

   Sajaga eollungmal jabameongneun geo? Geunde sajaneun mateuga eopjana. Urineun ttan geo meogeodo doejana.

   Like lions eating zebras? But lions don't have supermarkets. We could eat something else.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 말은 맞네. 사실 엄마도 요즘 고기를 좀 줄여 볼까 곰곰이 생각하던 참이었어.

    Mareun manne. Sasil eommado yojeum gogireul jom juryeo bolkka gomgomi saenggakadeon chamieosseo.

    She has a point. Actually, I've been thinking hard lately about cutting down on meat myself.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 자기까지 이러기야? 고기를 다 구운 마당에 이제 와서 둘 다 안 먹겠다고?

    Jagikkaji ireogiya? Gogireul da guun madange ije waseo dul da an meokgetdago?

    You too? Now that the meat's all cooked, you're both telling me you won't eat it?

    Line 11
12. 12

    C 아빠는 먹어도 돼. 나만 안 먹을게. 근데 하나만 물어봐도 돼?

    Appaneun meogeodo dwae. Naman an meogeulge. Geunde hanaman mureobwado dwae?

    You can eat it, Dad. I just won't. But can I ask one thing?

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 뭔데? 어려운 질문이면 고기 좀 뒤집고 나서 해.

    Mwonde? Eoryeoun jilmunimyeon gogi jom dwijipgo naseo hae.

    What is it? If it's a hard one, let me flip the meat first.

    Line 13
14. 14

    C 강아지는 불쌍해서 안 먹잖아. 근데 돼지는 왜 안 불쌍해? 선생님이 돼지도 강아지만큼 똑똑하다고 그랬어.

    Gangajineun bulssanghaeseo an meokjana. Geunde dwaejineun wae an bulssanghae? Seonsaengnimi dwaejido gangajimankeum ttokttokadago geuraesseo.

    We don't eat dogs because we feel sorry for them. So why don't we feel sorry for pigs? My teacher said pigs are as smart as dogs.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 그건, 음, 난감한 질문이네. 돼지는 옛날부터 먹으려고 키웠고, 강아지는 같이 사는 가족이니까?

    Geugeon, eum, nangamhan jilmunine. Dwaejineun yennalbuteo meogeuryeogo kiwotgo, gangajineun gachi saneun gajoginikka?

    That's, um, a tricky question. Because pigs have always been raised to be eaten, and dogs are family we live with?

    Line 15
16. 16

    C 그럼 분홍이랑 친구 했으니까 분홍이도 이제 가족이야? 그럼 나 돼지고기 영영 못 먹어.

    Geureom bunhongirang chingu haesseunikka bunhongido ije gajogiya? Geureom na dwaejigogi yeongyeong mot meogeo.

    So since I'm friends with Pinky, is Pinky family now? Then I can never eat pork again.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 아빠 대답이 좀 궁색하네. 사실 모순이긴 해. 어른들도 정답은 몰라, 하윤아. 어디까지 먹고 어디부터 안 먹을지는 다들 스스로 정하는 거야.

    Appa daedabi jom gungsaekane. Sasil mosunigin hae. Eoreundeuldo jeongdabeun molla, Hayuna. Eodikkaji meokgo eodibuteo an meogeuljineun dadeul seuseuro jeonghaneun geoya.

    Dad's answer is a bit feeble. It is a bit of a contradiction, really. Hayun, grown-ups don't know the right answer either. Everyone decides for themselves where to draw the line.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 궁색하다니. 틀린 말은 아니지만, 아, 타겠다! 이거 빨리 뒤집어야 돼.

    Gungsaekadani. Teullin mareun anijiman, a, tagetda! Igeo ppalli dwijibeoya dwae.

    Feeble? Well, you're not wrong, but - oh, it's burning! Quick, this needs flipping.

    Line 18
19. 19

    C 봐, 고기도 싸우지 말라고 치익 소리 내잖아.

    Bwa, gogido ssauji mallago Chiik sori naejana.

    See, even the meat's going "tsss" to tell you to stop fighting.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 그래도 하윤아, 이미 다 구운 마당에 남기면 그게 오히려 돼지에 대한 도리가 아닐 수도 있어. 그건 엄마 아빠가 먹을게.

    Geuraedo Hayuna, imi da guun madange namgimyeon geuge ohiryeo dwaejie daehan doriga anil sudo isseo. Geugeon eomma appaga meogeulge.

    Still, Hayun, now that it's already cooked, leaving it might actually be the wrong way to treat the pig. Mom and Dad will eat that.

    Line 20
21. 21

    C 응, 그건 괜찮아. 대신 먹기 전에 꼭 '고마워' 하고 먹어. 분홍이 친구니까.

    Eung, geugeon gwaenchana. Daesin meokgi jeone kkok 'gomawo' hago meogeo. Bunhongi chingunikka.

    Okay, that's fine. But say "thank you" before you eat it. It's Pinky's friend.

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 알겠습니다, 하윤 선생님. 에헴, 돼지 선생, 고맙네. 잘 먹겠네.

    Algetseumnida, Hayun seonsaengnim. Ehem, dwaeji seonsaeng, gomamne. Jal meokgenne.

    Understood, Teacher Hayun. Ahem, thank you, good sir pig. I shall eat you gratefully.

    Line 22
23. 23

    A 나도 고마워. 하윤아, 너는 된장찌개랑 계란찜 시켜 줄게. 그리고 우리 일주일에 하루는 고기 없이 먹어 볼까?

    Nado gomawo. Hayuna, neoneun doenjangjjigaerang Gyeranjjim sikyeo julge. Geurigo uri iljuire haruneun gogi eopsi meogeo bolkka?

    Thank you from me too. Hayun, I'll order you soybean stew and steamed egg. And shall we try going meat-free one day a week?

    Line 23
24. 24

    C 좋아! 이름은 '분홍이 데이'로 하자. 그날은 아빠도 고기 먹으면 안 돼.

    Joa! Ireumeun 'bunhongi dei'ro haja. Geunareun appado gogi meogeumyeon an dwae.

    Yes! Let's call it "Pinky Day." And on that day, Dad can't eat meat either.

    Line 24
25. 25

    B 분홍이 데이라, 좋네그려. 그날은 아빠가 두부를 삼겹살처럼 구워 주지. 두부랑은 아직 친구 안 했지?

    Bunhongi deira, jonnegeuryeo. Geunareun appaga dubureul samgyeopsalcheoreom guwo juji. Duburangeun ajik chingu an haetji?

    Pinky Day, eh? I like it. On that day, I'll grill tofu just like pork belly. You haven't made friends with any tofu yet, have you?

    Line 25
