1. 1

   A 어르신, 안녕하세요. 이쪽으로 앉으세요. 무슨 일로 오셨어요?

   Eoreusin, annyeonghaseyo. Ijjogeuro anjeuseyo. Museun illo osyeosseoyo?

   Hello, ma'am. Please have a seat here. What brings you in today?

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 우리 동네 마을버스 정류장이 없어진다기에 확인하러 왔어요. 경로당 앞에 있는 거요.

   Uri dongne maeulbeoseu jeongnyujangi eopseojindagie hwaginhareo wasseoyo. Gyeongnodang ape inneun geoyo.

   I heard our village bus stop is going to be removed, so I came to check. The one in front of the seniors' centre.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 아, 3번 마을버스 노선 변경 말씀이시군요. 구청에서 다음 달부터 노선을 새 아파트 단지 쪽으로 바꾸기로 했거든요.

   A, 3beon maeulbeoseu noseon byeongyeong malsseumisigunyo. Gucheongeseo daeum dalbuteo noseoneul sae apateu danji jjogeuro bakkugiro haetgeodeunyo.

   Ah, you mean the route change for village bus number 3. The district office has decided to move the route toward the new apartment complex from next month.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 그러면 경로당 앞 정류장은 정말 없어지는 거예요?

   Geureomyeon gyeongnodang ap jeongnyujangeun jeongmal eopseojineun geoyeyo?

   So the stop in front of the seniors' centre is really going away?

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 계획대로라면 그래요. 대신 큰길 쪽에 정류장이 하나 새로 생긴대요.

   Gyehoekdaeroramyeon geuraeyo. Daesin keungil jjoge jeongnyujangi hana saero saenggindaeyo.

   If the plan goes ahead, yes. There'll be a new stop on the main road instead.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 큰길까지 가려면 언덕을 넘어야 돼요. 걸어서 십오 분이 넘는데, 나는 관절염 때문에 무릎이 쑤셔서 못 가요.

   Keungilkkaji garyeomyeon eondeogeul neomeoya dwaeyo. Georeoseo sibo buni neomneunde, naneun gwanjeoryeom ttaemune mureupi ssusyeoseo mot gayo.

   To get to the main road you have to go over the hill. It's more than fifteen minutes on foot, and with my arthritis my knees ache too much to make it.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그 언덕이 꽤 가파르죠. 어르신은 주로 어디 가실 때 버스를 타세요?

   Geu eondeogi kkwae gapareujyo. Eoreusineun juro eodi gasil ttae beoseureul taseyo?

   That hill is quite steep. Where do you usually go by bus?

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 일주일에 두 번 병원에 가고, 시장도 가요. 버스가 없으면 택시를 타야 하는데 생각만 해도 막막해요.

   Iljuire du beon byeongwone gago, sijangdo gayo. Beoseuga eopseumyeon taeksireul taya haneunde saenggangman haedo mangmakaeyo.

   I go to the hospital twice a week, and to the market. Without the bus I'd have to take taxis, and just thinking about it, I don't know what I'd do.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 많이 불편하시겠어요. 사실 이 계획은 아직 확정된 게 아니에요. 이달 말까지 주민 의견을 받고 있거든요.

   Mani bulpyeonhasigesseoyo. Sasil i gyehoegeun ajik hwakjeongdoen ge anieyo. Idal malkkaji jumin uigyeoneul batgo itgeodeunyo.

   That would be really hard for you. Actually, the plan isn't final yet. They're collecting residents' opinions until the end of the month.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 의견을 받는다고요? 누가 우리한테 물어본 적도 없는데요.

    Uigyeoneul banneundagoyo? Nuga urihante mureobon jeokdo eomneundeyo.

    Collecting opinions? Nobody's ever asked us.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 구청 홈페이지에 공고가 올라오긴 했는데, 어르신들은 보시기 어려우셨을 거예요.

    Gucheong hompeijie gonggoga ollaogin haenneunde, eoreusindeureun bosigi eoryeousyeosseul geoyeyo.

    A notice did go up on the district office website, but it would have been hard for you to see.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 이렇게 일방적으로 정하다니, 가만있을 수가 없네요. 내일 구청에 직접 가서 따지고 말 테다!

    Ireoke ilbangjeogeuro jeonghadani, gamanisseul suga eomneyo. Naeil gucheonge jikjeop gaseo ttajigo mal teda!

    Deciding it all on their own like this, I can't just sit still. Tomorrow I'm going to the district office myself to give them a piece of my mind!

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 어르신 마음은 충분히 이해해요. 그런데 서면으로 의견을 내시면 담당 부서에서 꼭 검토해야 하거든요.

    Eoreusin maeumeun chungbunhi ihaehaeyo. Geureonde seomyeoneuro uigyeoneul naesimyeon damdang buseoeseo kkok geomtohaeya hageodeunyo.

    I completely understand how you feel. But if you submit your opinion in writing, the department in charge has to review it.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 서면이라니, 나는 그런 거 써 본 적이 없어요. 눈도 침침하고요.

    Seomyeonirani, naneun geureon geo sseo bon jeogi eopseoyo. Nundo chimchimhagoyo.

    In writing? I've never written anything like that. And my eyes aren't what they used to be.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 제가 도와 드릴게요. 어르신이 말씀하시면 제가 받아 적을게요. 정류장을 누가 얼마나 이용하는지부터 쓰면 좋아요.

    Jega dowa deurilgeyo. Eoreusini malsseumhasimyeon jega bada jeogeulgeyo. Jeongnyujangeul nuga eolmana iyonghaneunjibuteo sseumyeon joayo.

    I'll help you. You tell me, and I'll write it down. It's good to start with who uses the stop and how often.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 경로당 식구들만 해도 스무 명이 넘어요. 다들 그 버스로 병원에 다니고요.

    Gyeongnodang sikgudeulman haedo seumu myeongi neomeoyo. Dadeul geu beoseuro byeongwone danigoyo.

    Just the people at the seniors' centre come to more than twenty. They all take that bus to the hospital.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 좋아요. 언덕길이 가팔라서 어르신들께 위험한 점도 쓸게요. 경로당 분들 서명도 같이 받아서 내시면 훨씬 힘이 있을 거예요.

    Joayo. Eondeokgiri gapallaseo eoreusindeulkke wiheomhan jeomdo sseulgeyo. Gyeongnodang bundeul seomyeongdo gachi badaseo naesimyeon hwolssin himi isseul geoyeyo.

    Good. I'll also write that the hill is steep and dangerous for older people. If you collect signatures from the people at the centre and hand them in too, it'll carry much more weight.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 서명이라면 자신 있어요. 내일 아침에 경로당에서 한 사람도 빠짐없이 받아 올 테니까 두고 봐요.

    Seomyeongiramyeon jasin isseoyo. Naeil achime gyeongnodangeseo han saramdo ppajimeopsi bada ol tenikka dugo bwayo.

    Signatures, I can do. Tomorrow morning I'll get every last person at the centre to sign, you just watch.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 다음 주 화요일에 주민 설명회도 있어요. 거기서 직접 호소하시면 구청 직원들도 다 들을 거예요. 제가 모시고 갈게요.

    Daeum ju hwayoire jumin seolmyeonghoedo isseoyo. Geogiseo jikjeop hosohasimyeon gucheong jigwondeuldo da deureul geoyeyo. Jega mosigo galgeyo.

    There's also a residents' briefing next Tuesday. If you make your case there in person, the district staff will all hear you. I'll take you there.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 젊은 사람이 이렇게 신경 써 줘서 고마워요. 그날은 나도 할 말 다 하고 올 거예요.

    Jeolmeun sarami ireoke singyeong sseo jwoseo gomawoyo. Geunareun nado hal mal da hago ol geoyeyo.

    Thank you, young man, for going to all this trouble. That day I'm going to say everything I have to say.
