   A 다들 잠깐 모여 봐요. 안 좋은 소식이 있어요. 이번 분기 회식 예산이 반으로 줄었어요.

   Dadeul jamkkan moyeo bwayo. An joeun sosigi isseoyo. Ibeon bungi hoesik yesani baneuro jureosseoyo.

   Everyone, gather round for a second. I've got some bad news. Our team-dinner budget for this quarter has been cut in half.

2. 2

   C 반이요? 그럼 1인당 얼마예요?

   Baniyo? Geureom 1indang eolmayeyo?

   Half? So how much per person?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 3만 원 정도예요. 지난번에 간 고깃집은 이 돈으로는 힘들겠죠?

   3man won jeongdoyeyo. Jinanbeone gan gogitjibeun i doneuroneun himdeulgetjyo?

   About 30,000 won. That barbecue place we went to last time won't work with that, will it?

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 거기 지난주에 친구들이랑 가 봤는데 1인분에 2만 원이던데요. 술까지 마시면 한참 넘어요.

   Geogi jinanjue chingudeurirang ga bwanneunde 1inbune 2man wonideondeyo. Sulkkaji masimyeon hancham neomeoyo.

   I went there with friends last week, and it was 20,000 won a portion. With drinks, we'd go way over.

   C 회사 앞 중국집은 저녁엔 코스 요리만 하던데, 점심 메뉴는 꽤 싸요.

   Hoesa ap junggukjibeun jeonyeogen koseu yoriman hadeonde, jeomsim menyuneun kkwae ssayo.

   The Chinese place in front of the office only does set courses in the evening, but its lunch menu is pretty cheap.

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 점심이요? 회식을 점심에 하자는 거예요?

   Jeomsimiyo? Hoesigeul jeomsime hajaneun geoyeyo?

   Lunch? You mean have the team dinner at lunchtime?

   Line 6
7. 7

   C 네. 다른 팀들도 요즘 점심 회식을 많이 하던데 반응이 좋아요. 술을 안 마셔도 되니까요.

   Ne. Dareun timdeuldo yojeum jeomsim hoesigeul mani hadeonde baneungi joayo. Sureul an masyeodo doenikkayo.

   Yes. Lots of other teams are doing lunch get-togethers these days, and people like them. Nobody has to drink.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 음, 저는 회식이면 당연히 저녁 술자리라고 생각했거든요. 두 사람 생각은 어때요?

   Eum, jeoneun hoesigimyeon dangyeonhi jeonyeok suljarirago saenggakaetgeodeunyo. Du saram saenggageun eottaeyo?

   Hmm, I always assumed a team dinner meant drinks in the evening. What do you two think?

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 솔직히 저는 점심이 좋아요. 저녁 회식을 하면 다음 날까지 피곤하거든요.

   Soljiki jeoneun jeomsimi joayo. Jeonyeok hoesigeul hamyeon daeum nalkkaji pigonhageodeunyo.

   Honestly, I'd prefer lunch. After an evening team dinner, I'm tired until the next day.

   Line 9
10. 10

    C 저도요. 중국집으로 가든지 근처 한식 뷔페로 가든지, 점심이면 다 좋아요.

    Jeodoyo. Junggukjibeuro gadeunji geuncheo hansik bwipero gadeunji, jeomsimimyeon da joayo.

    Same here. The Chinese place or the Korean buffet nearby, anything's fine as long as it's lunch.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 한식 뷔페는 가격이 어때요?

    Hansik bwipeneun gagyeogi eottaeyo?

    What are prices like at the Korean buffet?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 거기 가 보니까 음식은 괜찮던데 좀 시끄러워요. 가격은 만 원이고요.

    Geogi ga bonikka eumsigeun gwaenchanteonde jom sikkeureowoyo. Gagyeogeun man wonigoyo.

    I've been, and the food was decent, but it's a bit noisy. It's 10,000 won.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 그럼 중국집으로 하죠. 커피든 디저트든 후식은 제가 따로 쏠게요.

    Geureom junggukjibeuro hajyo. Keopideun dijeoteudeun husigeun jega ttaro ssolgeyo.

    Then let's go with the Chinese place. Coffee or dessert afterwards, that's my treat.

    Line 13
14. 14

    C 역시 팀장님이 최고세요. 제가 목요일 점심으로 예약할까요?

    Yeoksi timjangnimi choegoseyo. Jega mogyoil jeomsimeuro yeyakalkkayo?

    You're the best. Shall I book it for Thursday lunch?

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 좋아요. 그리고 이건 비밀인데, 사실 저도 저녁 회식은 좀 힘들었어요.

    Joayo. Geurigo igeon bimirinde, sasil jeodo jeonyeok hoesigeun jom himdeureosseoyo.

    Great. And this stays between us, but honestly, the evening dinners were a bit much for me, too.
