1. 1

   B 저기, 괜찮으세요? 아까부터 손을 계속 떠셔서요.

   Jeogi, gwaenchaneuseyo? Akkabuteo soneul gyesok tteosyeoseoyo.

   Excuse me, are you all right? Your hands have been shaking for a while now.

   Line 1

   A 아, 티 났어요? 죄송해요. 사실 비행기 타는 게 너무 무서워서요.

   A, ti nasseoyo? Joesonghaeyo. Sasil bihaenggi taneun ge neomu museowoseoyo.

   Oh, is it that obvious? Sorry. The truth is, I'm terrified of flying.

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 어디 가시는데요?

   Eodi gasineundeyo?

   Where are you headed?

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 싱가포르요. 첫 해외 출장인데, 어젯밤에 너무 긴장한 나머지 한숨도 못 잤어요.

   Singgaporeuyo. Cheot haeoe chuljanginde, eojetbame neomu ginjanghan nameoji hansumdo mot jasseoyo.

   Singapore. It's my first business trip abroad, and I was so nervous last night that I didn't sleep a wink.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 비행기는 처음 타 보세요?

   Bihaenggineun cheoeum ta boseyo?

   Is this your first time flying?

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 어릴 때 제주도 한 번 간 게 다예요. 그때 비행기가 흔들려서 엄청 울었대요. 그 뒤로는 비행기 사진만 봐도 가슴이 두근거려요.

   Eoril ttae Jejudo han beon gan ge dayeyo. Geuttae bihaenggiga heundeullyeoseo eomcheong ureotdaeyo. Geu dwironeun bihaenggi sajinman bwado gaseumi dugeungeoryeoyo.

   I went to Jeju once as a kid, and that's it. They say I cried my eyes out when the plane shook. Ever since, even a picture of a plane makes my heart race.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 그럴 수 있어요. 사실 저 승무원이에요. 오늘은 쉬는 날이라 친구 만나러 가는 길이고요.

   Geureol su isseoyo. Sasil jeo seungmuwonieyo. Oneureun swineun narira chingu mannareo ganeun girigoyo.

   That's understandable. Actually, I'm a flight attendant. It's my day off, and I'm on my way to meet a friend.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 정말요? 승무원분들은 하나도 안 무서우시죠?

   Jeongmaryo? Seungmuwonbundeureun hanado an museousijyo?

   Really? Flight attendants aren't scared at all, right?

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 저도 신입 때는 흔들릴 때마다 무서웠어요. 근데 공포감은 모르는 데서 커지거든요. 비행기가 왜 흔들리는지 알면 훨씬 덜 무서워요.

   Jeodo sinip ttaeneun heundeullil ttaemada museowosseoyo. Geunde gongpogameun moreuneun deseo keojigeodeunyo. Bihaenggiga wae heundeullineunji almyeon hwolssin deol museowoyo.

   When I was new, I was scared every time it shook, too. But fear grows out of not knowing. Once you know why a plane shakes, it's much less scary.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 왜 흔들리는데요?

    Wae heundeullineundeyo?

    Why does it shake?

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 대부분 바람 때문이에요. 차가 울퉁불퉁한 길을 달릴 때 덜컹거리는 거랑 비슷해요. 비행기는 그보다 훨씬 센 흔들림도 견뎌 내도록 만들어져 있어요.

    Daebubun baram ttaemunieyo. Chaga ultungbultunghan gireul dallil ttae deolkeonggeorineun georang biseutaeyo. Bihaenggineun geuboda hwolssin sen heundeullimdo gyeondyeo naedorok mandeureojyeo isseoyo.

    Mostly because of the wind. It's like a car bumping along a rough road. Planes are built to withstand much stronger shaking than that.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 머리로는 알겠는데, 몸이 말을 안 들어요. 지금도 심장이 막 뛰어요.

    Meorironeun algenneunde, momi mareul an deureoyo. Jigeumdo simjangi mak ttwieoyo.

    My head gets it, but my body won't listen. My heart's pounding even now.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 그럴 땐 호흡부터 해 보세요. 넷을 세면서 코로 들이쉬고, 여섯을 세면서 입으로 천천히 내쉬는 거예요.

    Geureol ttaen hoheupbuteo hae boseyo. Neseul semyeonseo koro deuriswigo, yeoseoseul semyeonseo ibeuro cheoncheonhi naeswineun geoyeyo.

    When that happens, start with your breathing. Breathe in through your nose for a count of four, then out slowly through your mouth for six.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 이렇게요? 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷... 어, 진짜 조금 나은 것 같아요.

    Ireokeyo? Hana, dul, set, net... eo, jinjja jogeum naeun geot gatayo.

    Like this? One, two, three, four... Oh, I actually feel a bit better.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 잘하시네요. 이륙할 때는 안전벨트를 매고 음악을 들으면서 발끝에 힘을 꽉 줬다가 푸는 걸 반복해 보세요. 몸이 바쁘면 걱정할 틈이 없거든요.

    Jalhasineyo. Iryukal ttaeneun anjeonbelteureul maego eumageul deureumyeonseo balkkeute himeul kkwak jwotdaga puneun geol banbokae boseyo. Momi bappeumyeon geokjeonghal teumi eopgeodeunyo.

    You're doing great. During takeoff, fasten your seatbelt, listen to music, and keep tensing and relaxing your toes. When your body's busy, there's no room to worry.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 좋은 방법이네요. 근데 제 친구는 비행기 타기가 바쁘게 와인부터 마시래요.

    Joeun bangbeobineyo. Geunde je chinguneun bihaenggi tagiga bappeuge wainbuteo masiraeyo.

    That's a good trick. But my friend says to start on the wine the moment I board.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 하하, 그건 별로 추천 안 해요. 기내는 건조해서 술을 마시면 몸이 더 힘들어요. 차라리 물을 자주 드세요.

    Haha, geugeon byeollo chucheon an haeyo. Ginaeneun geonjohaeseo sureul masimyeon momi deo himdeureoyo. Charari mureul jaju deuseyo.

    Ha ha, I wouldn't recommend that. The air in the cabin is dry, so drinking alcohol makes it harder on your body. Drink water often instead.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 알겠어요. 오늘 비행만 무사히 버텨 내면 다음 출장은 좀 쉬워지겠죠?

    Algesseoyo. Oneul bihaengman musahi beotyeo naemyeon daeum chuljangeun jom swiwojigetjyo?

    Got it. If I can just get through today's flight, the next business trip will be easier, right?

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 그럼요. 그리고 흔들릴 때는 승무원 얼굴을 보세요. 저희가 웃으면서 일하고 있으면 괜찮은 거예요.

    Geureomyo. Geurigo heundeullil ttaeneun seungmuwon eolgureul boseyo. Jeohuiga useumyeonseo ilhago isseumyeon gwaenchaneun geoyeyo.

    Of course. And when it gets bumpy, look at the flight attendants' faces. If we're smiling and working, everything's fine.
