   Minjun, let's start rehearsal. You brought the mask, right?

   A 네, 선생님, 여기 있어요. 근데 사실 드릴 말씀이 있어요.

   Ne, seonsaengnim, yeogi isseoyo. Geunde sasil deuril malsseumi isseoyo.

   Yes, sir, here it is. But actually, there's something I need to tell you.

   B 표정이 왜 그래? 무슨 일 있었어?

4. 4

   A 아까 버스에서 졸다가 급하게 내리는 바람에 탈을 자리에 두고 내릴 뻔했어요.

   Akka beoseueseo joldaga geupage naerineun barame tareul jarie dugo naeril ppeonhaesseoyo.

   Earlier I dozed off on the bus and got off in a hurry, so I almost left the mask on the seat.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 뭐? 그거 안동에서 탈 만드는 분이 직접 깎아 주신 거야. 잃어버렸으면 큰일 날 뻔했다.

   Mwo? Geugeo Andongeseo tal mandeuneun buni jikjeop kkakka jusin geoya. Ireobeoryeosseumyeon keunil nal ppeonhaetda.

   What? A mask maker in Andong carved that for us himself. If you'd lost it, we'd have been in real trouble.

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 다행히 옆자리 할머니가 불러 주셔서 바로 들고 내렸어요.

   Dahaenghi yeopjari halmeoniga bulleo jusyeoseo baro deulgo naeryeosseoyo.

   Luckily the grandma next to me called out, so I grabbed it and got off.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 휴, 그 할머니 아니었으면 어쩔 뻔했어.

   Hyu, geu halmeoni anieosseumyeon eojjeol ppeonhaesseo.

   Phew. What would we have done without that grandma?

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 죄송해요. 그냥 연습용 탈인 줄 알았어요.

   Joesonghaeyo. Geunyang yeonseubyong tarin jul arasseoyo.

   I'm sorry. I thought it was just a practice mask.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 연습용이라도 이건 달라. 너 이 탈이 뭘 뜻하는지 알아?

   Yeonseubyongirado igeon dalla. Neo i tari mwol tteutaneunji ara?

   Even if it's for practice, this one's different. Do you know what this mask means?

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 양반 탈이잖아요. 웃고 있는 거 말고는 잘 몰라요.

    Yangban tarijanayo. Utgo inneun geo malgoneun jal mollayo.

    It's the yangban mask. I don't really know anything except that it's smiling.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 잘 봐. 턱이 따로 움직이지? 고개를 들면 웃는 얼굴이 되고, 숙이면 화난 얼굴이 돼.

    Jal bwa. Teogi ttaro umjigiji? Gogaereul deulmyeon unneun eolguri doego, sugimyeon hwanan eolguri dwae.

    Look closely. The chin moves separately, see? Tilt your head up and it's a laughing face; bow it down and it's an angry face.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 와, 진짜 그러네요. 그래서 춤출 때 고개를 자꾸 들었다 숙였다 하는 거군요.

    Wa, jinjja geureoneyo. Geuraeseo chumchul ttae gogaereul jakku deureotda sugyeotda haneun geogunyo.

    Wow, it really does. So that's why we keep tilting our heads up and down in the dance.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 그렇지. 옛날 사람들은 이 탈을 쓰고 양반을 놀리면서 평소에 못 하던 말을 했어.

    Geureochi. Yennal saramdeureun i tareul sseugo yangbaneul nollimyeonseo pyeongsoe mot hadeon mareul haesseo.

    Exactly. Long ago, people put on this mask and mocked the yangban, saying what they could never say normally.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 그런 뜻이 있는지 몰랐어요. 이제 춤이 좀 다르게 보일 것 같아요.

    Geureon tteusi inneunji mollasseoyo. Ije chumi jom dareuge boil geot gatayo.

    I didn't know it had that meaning. I think the dance will look a bit different to me now.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 그럼 됐다. 오늘은 탈 쓰고 제대로 한번 해 보자. 대신 끝나면 탈은 내가 가지고 있을게.

    Geureom dwaetda. Oneureun tal sseugo jedaero hanbeon hae boja. Daesin kkeunnamyeon tareun naega gajigo isseulge.

    Good. Today let's do it properly with the masks on. But when we're done, I'll keep the mask.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 네... 그게 좋겠어요. 안 그러면 버스 탈 때마다 불안할 것 같아요.

    Ne... geuge jokesseoyo. An geureomyeon beoseu tal ttaemada buranhal geot gatayo.

    Yes... that's probably best. Otherwise I'd be nervous every time I got on the bus.
