1. 1

   A 아빠, 아까 교수님이랑 의사 선생님들 우르르 왔을 때 무슨 말 한 거야? 나 반도 못 알아들었어.

   Appa, akka gyosunimirang uisa seonsaengnimdeul ureureu wasseul ttae museun mal han geoya? Na bando mot aradeureosseo.

   Dad, what were they saying when the professor and all those doctors came in earlier? I didn't understand half of it.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 아빠도 마찬가지야. 교수님이 "피오디 원, 엔피오 유지" 하시니까 뒤에 선생님들이 전부 받아 적더라.

   Appado machangajiya. Gyosunimi "piodi won, enpio yuji" hasinikka dwie seonsaengnimdeuri jeonbu bada jeokdeora.

   Neither did I. The professor said "POD one, keep NPO," and all the doctors behind her wrote it down.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 엔피오는 또 뭔데? 무슨 회사 이름 같아.

   Enpioneun tto mwonde? Museun hoesa ireum gata.

   What's NPO? It sounds like a company name.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 간호사 선생님한테 물어봤더니 '금식'이래. 아무것도 먹지 말라는 거지. 피오디 원은 수술하고 첫날이라는 뜻이고.

   Ganhosa seonsaengnimhante mureobwatdeoni 'geumsik'irae. Amugeotdo meokji mallaneun geoji. Piodi woneun susulhago cheonnariraneun tteusigo.

   I asked the nurse, and she said it means "nil by mouth." You're not allowed to eat anything. And "POD one" means the first day after surgery.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 금식? 나 어제 아침부터 아무것도 못 먹었어. 배고파 죽겠는데 아직도 안 된대?

   Geumsik? Na eoje achimbuteo amugeotdo mot meogeosseo. Baegopa jukgenneunde ajikdo an doendae?

   Nil by mouth? I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning. I'm starving. They still won't let me?

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 그래서 교수님이 너한테 딱 하나 물어보셨잖아. 기억 안 나?

   Geuraeseo gyosunimi neohante ttak hana mureobosyeotjana. Gieok an na?

   That's why the professor asked you just one thing. Don't you remember?

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 기억나지. "가스 나왔어요?" 그 말 듣고 너무 민망해서 이불 뒤집어쓰고 싶었어. 레지던트 누나들도 다 있었는데.

   Gieongnaji. "Gaseu nawasseoyo?" Geu mal deutgo neomu minmanghaeseo ibul dwijibeosseugo sipeosseo. Rejideonteu nunadeuldo da isseonneunde.

   Of course I do. "Have you passed gas?" I was so embarrassed I wanted to pull the blanket over my head. The women residents were all there too.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 창피할 게 뭐 있어. 의학적으로는 그게 제일 중요한 질문이래. 방귀가 나와야 장이 다시 움직인다는 증거라서, 그다음에야 물부터 조금씩 마실 수 있대.

   Changpihal ge mwo isseo. Uihakjeogeuroneun geuge jeil jungyohan jilmunirae. Banggwiga nawaya jangi dasi umjigindaneun jeunggeoraseo, geudaeumeya mulbuteo jogeumssik masil su itdae.

   What's embarrassing about that? Medically, apparently it's the most important question. Passing gas proves your bowels are working again, and only then can you start with sips of water.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 그러니까 방귀가 나와야 밥을 먹을 수 있다는 거야? 내 인생에서 방귀가 이렇게 중요했던 적은 처음이야.

   Geureonikka banggwiga nawaya babeul meogeul su itdaneun geoya? Nae insaengeseo banggwiga ireoke jungyohaetdeon jeogeun cheoeumiya.

   So I can only eat after I fart? Farting has never been this important in my whole life.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 병원에 있노라면 별소리를 다 듣지. 아빠도 맹장 수술하고 병상에 누워 있을 때 똑같은 질문을 받았어. 그땐 할머니가 옆에서 대신 대답하셨고.

    Byeongwone innoramyeon byeolsorireul da deutji. Appado maengjang susulhago byeongsange nuwo isseul ttae ttokgateun jilmuneul badasseo. Geuttaen halmeoniga yeopeseo daesin daedapasyeotgo.

    You hear all sorts when you're in hospital. I got asked the same question lying in a hospital bed after my appendix operation. Back then, your grandma answered for me.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 할머니가 뭐라고 하셨는데? 설마 나왔다고 하신 거야?

    Halmeoniga mworago hasyeonneunde? Seolma nawatdago hasin geoya?

    What did Grandma say? Don't tell me she said it had come out?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B "아직 소식이 없어요, 선생님." 병실 사람들이 다 웃었지. 아빠는 그때 지금 너처럼 이불을 뒤집어썼고.

    "Ajik sosigi eopseoyo, seonsaengnim." Byeongsil saramdeuri da useotji. Appaneun geuttae jigeum neocheoreom ibureul dwijibeosseotgo.

    "No news yet, doctor." Everyone on the ward laughed. And I pulled the blanket over my head, just like you.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 근데 교수님 말고 다른 선생님들은 영어를 엄청 섞어 쓰던데. "앰뷸레이션 격려" 이건 뭐야?

    Geunde gyosunim malgo dareun seonsaengnimdeureun Yeongeoreul eomcheong seokkeo sseudeonde. "Aembyulleisyeon gyeongnyeo" igeon mwoya?

    But the other doctors kept mixing in English. "Encourage ambulation" - what's that?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그건 아빠도 안다. 걸으라는 거야. 많이 걸어야 장이 빨리 움직인대. 그 선생님들 어려운 말깨나 쓰시더라.

    Geugeon appado anda. Georeuraneun geoya. Mani georeoya jangi ppalli umjigindae. Geu seonsaengnimdeul eoryeoun malkkaena sseusideora.

    That one I do know. It means walking. The more you walk, the sooner your bowels get going. Those doctors sure love their big words.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 걸으면 방귀가 빨리 나온다는 거지? 그럼 지금 당장 복도 열 바퀴 돌래. 아빠, 링거 좀 밀어 줘.

    Georeumyeon banggwiga ppalli naondaneun geoji? Geureom jigeum dangjang bokdo yeol bakwi dollae. Appa, Ringgeo jom mireo jwo.

    So walking makes the gas come faster? Then I'm doing ten laps of the corridor right now. Dad, push my drip stand for me.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 이 녀석, 먹을 얘기 나오니까 벌떡 일어나네. 먹는 욕심깨나 있는 건 누굴 닮았는지. 마취 풀린 지 하루밖에 안 됐으니까 천천히 해. 수술 부위 당기면 바로 멈추고.

    I nyeoseok, meogeul yaegi naonikka beoltteok ireonane. Meongneun yoksimkkaena inneun geon nugul dalmanneunji. Machwi pullin ji harubakke an dwaesseunikka cheoncheonhi hae. Susul buwi danggimyeon baro meomchugo.

    Look at you, jumping up the moment food comes up. I wonder who you get that appetite from. The anaesthetic only wore off yesterday, so take it slowly. If the wound pulls, stop right away.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 아빠... 방금... 나온 것 같아. 간호사 선생님 불러야 되나? 이것도 말해야 돼?

    Appa... banggeum... naon geot gata. Ganhosa seonsaengnim bulleoya doena? Igeotdo malhaeya dwae?

    Dad... I think... it just happened. Should I call the nurse? Do I have to tell them about this too?

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 당연히 말해야지. 아빠가 대신 말해 줄까? "선생님, 드디어 소식이 왔습니다" 하고.

    Dangyeonhi malhaeyaji. Appaga daesin malhae julkka? "Seonsaengnim, deudieo sosigi watseumnida" hago.

    Of course you do. Want me to tell them for you? "Doctor, news has finally arrived."

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 하지 마! 그건 할머니 대사잖아. 내가 할게. 대신 아빠는 복도 끝에 가 있어.

    Haji ma! Geugeon halmeoni daesajana. Naega halge. Daesin appaneun bokdo kkeute ga isseo.

    Don't! That's Grandma's line. I'll do it. But you go and stand at the end of the corridor.

    Line 19
