Eomma, wae saramdeuri da naga? Jihacheol an wa?

Mom, why is everyone leaving? Isn't the train coming?
A 잠깐, 안내문 좀 보자. 아, 주말에 공사해서 지하철이 안 다닌다.

Jamkkan, annaemun jom boja. A, jumare gongsahaeseo jihacheori an daninda.

So we can't see the dinosaurs? I got up early to see the T. rex!
A 걱정 마. 버스 타고 가자. 근데 한 번 갈아타야 돼서 한 시간쯤 걸려.

Just put up with it a little so we can see the dinosaurs. You'll be fine if you sit by the window.
B 알았어. 근데 일찍 가야지 사람이 적어. 티라노랑 사진 찍을 거야.

Arasseo. Geunde iljjik gayaji sarami jeogeo. Tiranorang sajin jjigeul geoya.

Okay. But we have to get there early or it'll be crowded. I'm getting a photo with the T. rex.

Geurae. Eo, jeogi beoseu onda! Ttwija!

Right. Oh, there's the bus! Let's run!
