1. 1

   A 나 회사 그만둘까 봐. 이제 겨우 석 달 됐는데.

   Na hoesa geumandulkka bwa. Ije gyeou seok dal dwaenneunde.

   I'm thinking of quitting my job. And it's only been three months.

   Line 1

   B 갑자기 왜? 월급도 괜찮은 회사잖아.

   Gapjagi wae? Wolgeupdo gwaenchaneun hoesajana.

   Why all of a sudden? The pay's good there, isn't it?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 월급은 괜찮은데 매일 밤 열 시에 퇴근해. 주말에도 나가고.

   Wolgeubeun gwaenchaneunde maeil bam yeol sie toegeunhae. Jumaredo nagago.

   The pay's fine, but I leave at ten every night. And I go in at weekends too.

4. 4

   C 헐, 너무 힘들겠다. 나 같으면 벌써 그만뒀어.

   Heol, neomu himdeulgetda. Na gateumyeon beolsseo geumandwosseo.

   Oh no, that sounds exhausting. If it were me, I'd have quit already.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 그래도 1년은 버텨야지 경력이 돼. 석 달은 이력서에 쓰기도 애매해.

   Geuraedo 1nyeoneun beotyeoyaji gyeongnyeogi dwae. Seok dareun iryeokseoe sseugido aemaehae.

   Still, you have to stick it out for a year for it to count as experience. Three months looks odd on a CV.

   Line 5
6. 6

   C 경력보다 건강이 먼저지. 나도 첫 회사 반년 만에 그만뒀는데 지금 행복해.

   Gyeongnyeokboda geongangi meonjeoji. Nado cheot hoesa bannyeon mane geumandwonneunde jigeum haengbokae.

   Your health comes before experience. I quit my first job after six months, and I'm happy now.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 너는 바로 다른 회사에 들어갔잖아. 요즘은 다시 취직하는 게 쉽지 않아.

   Neoneun baro dareun hoesae deureogatjana. Yojeumeun dasi chwijikaneun ge swipji ana.

   You got into another company straight away. It's not easy to find a new job these days.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 그건 그래... 근데 힘들어도 참는 게 맞는 걸까?

   Geugeon geurae... geunde himdeureodo chamneun ge manneun geolkka?

   That's true... But is putting up with it really the right thing, even when it's this hard?

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 응, 힘들어도 조금만 참아. 1년 채우고 옮기는 게 나아.

   Eung, himdeureodo jogeumman chama. 1nyeon chaeugo omgineun ge naa.

   Yeah, even if it's hard, hang in there a bit longer. Better to finish a year and then move.

   Line 9
10. 10

    C 아니면 팀장님한테 먼저 얘기해 봐. 야근 줄여 줄 수도 있잖아.

    Animyeon timjangnimhante meonjeo yaegihae bwa. Yageun juryeo jul sudo itjana.

    Or talk to your team leader first. They might cut down your overtime.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 맞아. 말도 안 해 보고 그만두면 나중에 후회할 것 같아.

    Maja. Maldo an hae bogo geumandumyeon najunge huhoehal geot gata.

    You're right. If I quit without even saying anything, I think I'd regret it later.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그래, 일단 얘기해 보고 그다음에 결정해도 안 늦어.

    Geurae, ildan yaegihae bogo geudaeume gyeoljeonghaedo an neujeo.

    Yeah, talk to them first. It won't be too late to decide after that.
