   A 안내 방송 했으니까 엄마가 금방 오실 거예요. 여기 의자에 앉아서 같이 기다려요.

   Annae bangsong haesseunikka eommaga geumbang osil geoyeyo. Yeogi uijae anjaseo gachi gidaryeoyo.

   We've made an announcement, so your mom will be here soon. Sit here and let's wait together.

   B 네... 엄마가 삼 층 열람실에 있으라고 했는데, 제가 계단을 잘못 내려왔어요.

   Ne... eommaga sam cheung yeollamsire isseurago haenneunde, jega gyedaneul jalmot naeryeowasseoyo.

   Okay... Mom told me to stay in the reading room on the third floor, but I went down the wrong stairs.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 괜찮아요. 도서관이 워낙 넓어서 어른들도 자주 헤매요. 근데 손에 든 책은 뭐예요?

   Gwaenchanayo. Doseogwani wonak neolbeoseo eoreundeuldo jaju hemaeyo. Geunde sone deun chaegeun mwoyeyo?

   That's all right. The library is so big that even grown-ups get lost. What's that book in your hand?

   Line 3
4. 4

   B '해저 도시의 비밀'이요. 벌써 세 번 읽었는걸요.

   'Haejeo dosiui bimil'iyo. Beolsseo se beon ilgeonneungeoryo.

   'The Secret of the Undersea City.' I've already read it three times.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 세 번이나요? 그렇게 재미있어요?

   Se beoninayo? Geureoke jaemiisseoyo?

   Three times? Is it that good?

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 재미는 있는데, 좀 아쉬운 데도 있어요.

   Jaemineun inneunde, jom aswiun dedo isseoyo.

   It's fun, but some parts are a bit disappointing.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 오, 어떤 점이요? 궁금해요.

   O, eotteon jeomiyo? Gunggeumhaeyo.

   Oh, which parts? I'm curious.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 주인공이 위험할 때마다 갑자기 누가 나타나서 도와줘요. 세 번이나요. 그러면 긴장감이 하나도 없잖아요.

   Juingongi wiheomhal ttaemada gapjagi nuga natanaseo dowajwoyo. Se beoninayo. Geureomyeon ginjanggami hanado eopjanayo.

   Every time the main character's in danger, someone suddenly shows up and saves her. Three times! Then there's no suspense at all.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 와, 그건 어른 평론가들도 자주 하는 비판인데요?

   Wa, geugeon eoreun pyeongnongadeuldo jaju haneun bipanindeyo?

   Wow, that's a criticism grown-up critics often make, you know.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 그리고 주인공 남동생은 처음에만 나오고 그다음엔 안 나와요. 작가가 등장인물을 까먹은 것 같아요.

    Geurigo juingong namdongsaengeun cheoeumeman naogo geudaeumen an nawayo. Jakgaga deungjanginmureul kkameogeun geot gatayo.

    And her little brother only appears at the beginning and then never again. I think the author forgot about that character.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 하하, 날카롭네요. 그래도 세 번이나 읽을 만한 이유가 있었겠죠?

    Haha, nalkaromneyo. Geuraedo se beonina ilgeul manhan iyuga isseotgetjyo?

    Ha ha, sharp! But there must be a reason it was worth reading three times, right?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 바닷속 도시 그림이 진짜 예뻐요. 그림만으로도 볼 만해요. 이야기는 별 세 개, 그림은 다섯 개요.

    Badatsok dosi geurimi jinjja yeppeoyo. Geurimmaneurodo bol manhaeyo. Iyagineun byeol se gae, geurimeun daseot gaeyo.

    The pictures of the undersea city are really pretty. The pictures alone make it worth it. Three stars for the story, five for the pictures.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 별점까지요? 누구한테 그렇게 배웠어요?

    Byeoljeomkkajiyo? Nuguhante geureoke baewosseoyo?

    Star ratings too? Who taught you that?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 할머니요. 할머니가 "책을 다 읽으면 좋은 점 하나, 아쉬운 점 하나를 꼭 말하거라." 하셨어요.

    Halmeoniyo. Halmeoniga "chaegeul da ilgeumyeon joeun jeom hana, aswiun jeom hanareul kkok malhageora." Hasyeosseoyo.

    My grandma. She told me, "When you finish a book, always say one thing you liked and one thing you didn't."

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 멋진 할머니시네요. 그럼 선생님한테도 한 권 추천해 줄래요?

    Meotjin halmeonisineyo. Geureom seonsaengnimhantedo han gwon chucheonhae jullaeyo?

    Your grandma sounds wonderful. Then will you recommend a book to me too?

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 음... '고양이 우체부'요. 결말이 뻔하지 않고, 도와주는 사람이 없어서 주인공이 혼자 다 해결하거든요.

    Eum... 'goyangi uchebu'yo. Gyeolmari ppeonhaji anko, dowajuneun sarami eopseoseo juingongi honja da haegyeolhageodeunyo.

    Um... 'The Cat Mail Carrier.' The ending isn't predictable, and nobody comes to help, so the main character solves everything by herself.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 좋아요, 꼭 읽어 볼게요. 어, 저기 뛰어오시는 분, 서아 엄마 아니에요?

    Joayo, kkok ilgeo bolgeyo. Eo, jeogi ttwieoosineun bun, seoa eomma anieyo?

    Great, I'll be sure to read it. Oh, the lady running over there, isn't that your mom?

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 맞아요, 엄마예요! 선생님, 고맙습니다. 고양이 우체부 꼭 읽어 보세요!

    Majayo, eommayeyo! Seonsaengnim, gomapseumnida. Goyangi uchebu kkok ilgeo boseyo!

    Yes, that's my mom! Thank you. Be sure to read 'The Cat Mail Carrier'!

    Line 18

    A 그럴게요. 다음에 오면 서아 별점도 또 알려 줘요.

    Geureolgeyo. Daeume omyeon seoa byeoljeomdo tto allyeo jwoyo.

    I will. Next time you come, tell me your star ratings again.
