A 저기요, 바르셀로나 가는 직항이 취소됐다고 문자가 왔어요. 어떻게 된 거예요?

Jeogiyo, Bareusellona ganeun jikhangi chwisodwaetdago munjaga wasseoyo. Eotteoke doen geoyeyo?

Excuse me, I got a text saying the direct flight to Barcelona is cancelled. What happened?
B 죄송합니다, 고객님. 현지 공항 사정 때문에 오늘 출발하는 비행기가 취소됐어요.

Joesonghamnida, gogaengnim. Hyeonji gonghang sajeong ttaemune oneul chulbalhaneun bihaenggiga chwisodwaesseoyo.

I'm very sorry. Because of a problem at the airport there, today's flight has been cancelled.
A 그럼 다른 비행기는 없어요? 저 수요일 밤까지 꼭 도착해야 하거든요.

Geureom dareun bihaenggineun eopseoyo? Jeo suyoil bamkkaji kkok dochakaeya hageodeunyo.

Then aren't there any other flights? I absolutely have to get there by Wednesday night.
B 제가 다른 노선을 찾아볼게요. 자리를 찾는 사이에 여권 좀 주시겠어요?

Jega dareun noseoneul chajabolgeyo. Jarireul channeun saie yeogwon jom jusigesseoyo?

Let me look for another route. While I search for a seat, could I have your passport?
A 여기요. 목요일 아침에 학회가 있는데, 발표도 있고 해서 늦으면 절대 안 돼요.

Yeogiyo. Mogyoil achime hakhoega inneunde, balpyodo itgo haeseo neujeumyeon jeoldae an dwaeyo.

Here. I have a conference Thursday morning, and I'm giving a talk, so I really can't be late.
B 발표까지 하세요? 그럼 더 서둘러야겠네요.

Balpyokkaji haseyo? Geureom deo seodulleoyagenneyo.

You're presenting too? Then we'd better hurry.
A 네, 발표가 오전 열 시예요. 짐 찾고 이동하는 시간까지 생각하면 아무래도 여유가 별로 없어요.

Ne, balpyoga ojeon yeol siyeyo. Jim chatgo idonghaneun sigankkaji saenggakamyeon amuraedo yeoyuga byeollo eopseoyo.

Yes, my talk is at ten in the morning. Counting the time to collect my bags and get there, there really isn't much slack.
B 잠시만요. 파리를 거쳐 가는 건 벌써 꽉 찼네요. 아, 도하를 거쳐 가는 비행기에 한 자리가 있어요.

Jamsimanyo. Parireul geochyeo ganeun geon beolsseo kkwak channeyo. A, Dohareul geochyeo ganeun bihaenggie han jariga isseoyo.

One moment. The route through Paris is already full. Ah, there's one seat on a flight via Doha.
A 도하요? 거기서 오래 기다려야 해요?

Dohayo? Geogiseo orae gidaryeoya haeyo?

Doha? Would I have to wait there long?
B 갈아타는 시간이 세 시간이에요. 바르셀로나에는 수요일 오후 네 시에 도착해요.

Garataneun sigani se siganieyo. Bareusellonaeneun suyoil ohu ne sie dochakaeyo.

The layover is three hours. You'd land in Barcelona at 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
A 그럼 시간은 충분하네요. 추가 요금이 있나요?

Geureom siganeun chungbunhaneyo. Chuga yogeumi innayo?

Then that's plenty of time. Is there an extra charge?
B 원래 비행기가 취소된 거라서 추가 요금은 없어요. 대신 가운데 자리인데 괜찮으세요?

Wollae bihaenggiga chwisodoen georaseo chuga yogeumeun eopseoyo. Daesin gaunde jariinde gwaenchaneuseyo?

Since your original flight was cancelled, there's no extra charge. But it's a middle seat. Is that all right?
A 가운데든 맨 뒤든 상관없어요. 제시간에 도착만 하면 돼요.

Gaundedeun maen dwideun sanggwaneopseoyo. Jesigane dochangman hamyeon dwaeyo.

Middle or the very back, I don't care. As long as I get there on time.
B 알겠습니다. 표를 뽑는 사이에 가방을 여기 올려 주세요. 짐은 바르셀로나까지 바로 보내 드릴게요.

Algetseumnida. Pyoreul ppomneun saie gabangeul yeogi ollyeo juseyo. Jimeun Bareusellonakkaji baro bonae deurilgeyo.

Certainly. While I print your ticket, please put your bag up here. I'll check it straight through to Barcelona.
A 정말 감사해요. 덕분에 비행기에서 발표 연습도 할 수 있겠어요.

Jeongmal gamsahaeyo. Deokbune bihaenggieseo balpyo yeonseupdo hal su itgesseoyo.

Thank you so much. Now I can even practise my talk on the plane.
