1. 1

   B 목은 많이 좋아졌네요. 열도 내렸고요. 이제 약만 며칠 더 드시면 돼요.

   Mogeun mani joajyeonneyo. Yeoldo naeryeotgoyo. Ije yangman myeochil deo deusimyeon dwaeyo.

   Your throat is much better. The fever's gone down too. You just need a few more days of medicine.

   Line 1
2. 2

   A 다행이에요. 그런데 선생님, 회사에 낼 진단서를 좀 떼 주셨으면 해서요.

   Dahaengieyo. Geureonde seonsaengnim, hoesae nael jindanseoreul jom tte jusyeosseumyeon haeseoyo.

   That's a relief. By the way, doctor, I was hoping you could give me a medical certificate for work.

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 네, 써 드릴게요. 진료 기록을 보니까 월요일에 처음 오셨네요. 월요일부터 수요일까지로 쓰면 되죠?

   Ne, sseo deurilgeyo. Jillyo girogeul bonikka woryoire cheoeum osyeonneyo. Woryoilbuteo suyoilkkajiro sseumyeon doejyo?

   Sure, I'll write one. According to your records, you first came in on Monday. So I'll put Monday to Wednesday, shall I?

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 저... 혹시 금요일까지로 써 주실 수 있을까요? 이틀만 더요. 사실 몸이 아직 좀 무거워서요.

   Jeo... hoksi geumyoilkkajiro sseo jusil su isseulkkayo? Iteulman deoyo. Sasil momi ajik jom mugeowoseoyo.

   Um... could you possibly make it until Friday? Just two more days. Honestly, I still feel a bit run-down.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 죄송하지만 그건 어려워요. 진단서는 진찰한 대로만 쓸 수 있어요. 오늘 보니까 내일부터 출근하셔도 괜찮은 상태예요.

   Joesonghajiman geugeon eoryeowoyo. Jindanseoneun jinchalhan daeroman sseul su isseoyo. Oneul bonikka naeilbuteo chulgeunhasyeodo gwaenchaneun sangtaeyeyo.

   I'm sorry, but I can't do that. A certificate can only say what I found in the examination. From what I see today, you're fine to go back to work tomorrow.

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 딱 이틀인데요? 선생님이 조금만 봐주시면 아무도 모를 거예요.

   Ttak iteurindeyo? Seonsaengnimi jogeumman bwajusimyeon amudo moreul geoyeyo.

   It's only two days. If you'd just bend the rules a little, nobody would know.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 그렇게 쓰면 사실과 다를뿐더러 불법이에요. 허위 진단서는 쓴 사람도 낸 사람도 문제가 될 수 있어요.

   Geureoke sseumyeon sasilgwa dareulppundeoreo bulbeobieyo. Heowi jindanseoneun sseun saramdo naen saramdo munjega doel su isseoyo.

   Writing that wouldn't just be untrue, it'd be illegal. With a false certificate, both the person who writes it and the person who hands it in can get into trouble.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 에이, 다들 조금씩 그러지 않나요? 제 친구 회사는 아무도 확인 안 한대요.

   Ei, dadeul jogeumssik geureoji annayo? Je chingu hoesaneun amudo hwagin an handaeyo.

   Oh, come on, doesn't everybody do it a bit? My friend says nobody at her company ever checks.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 회사가 모르는 거지 문제가 없는 게 아니에요. 그리고 진단서는 제 이름으로 나가는 서류예요.

   Hoesaga moreuneun geoji munjega eomneun ge anieyo. Geurigo jindanseoneun je ireumeuro naganeun seoryuyeyo.

   The company just doesn't know. That doesn't mean there's no problem. And a certificate goes out with my name on it.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 선생님은 너무 원칙적이세요. 저 한 달 내내 야근해서 엄청 지쳤어요. 정말 쉬고 싶어서 그래요.

    Seonsaengnimeun neomu wonchikjeogiseyo. Jeo han dal naenae yageunhaeseo eomcheong jichyeosseoyo. Jeongmal swigo sipeoseo geuraeyo.

    You're too strict about the rules, doctor. I've worked overtime all month and I'm completely worn out. I really just want a rest.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 그 마음은 알아요. 잠깐만요, 오늘 아침에 이런 기사를 봤거든요. "허위 진단서 써 준 의사, 결국 면허 취소됐다."

    Geu maeumeun arayo. Jamkkanmanyo, oneul achime ireon gisareul bwatgeodeunyo. "Heowi jindanseo sseo jun uisa, gyeolguk myeonheo chwisodwaetda."

    I understand. Just a moment, I saw this article this morning. "Doctor who wrote false certificates finally loses licence."

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 면허가 취소됐다고요? 진단서 하나 때문에요?

    Myeonheoga chwisodwaetdagoyo? Jindanseo hana ttaemuneyo?

    He lost his licence? Over one certificate?

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 한두 번이 아니었대요. 처음에는 다 "이번 한 번만"으로 시작하는 거죠.

    Handu beoni anieotdaeyo. Cheoeumeneun da "ibeon han beonman"euro sijakaneun geojyo.

    Apparently it wasn't just once or twice. It always starts with "just this once."

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 듣고 보니 하마터면 선생님께 큰 실수를 할 뻔했네요. 죄송해요.

    Deutgo boni hamateomyeon seonsaengnimkke keun silsureul hal ppeonhaenneyo. Joesonghaeyo.

    Now that I hear that, I nearly got you into real trouble. I'm sorry.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 괜찮아요. 대신 진단서에 '충분한 휴식이 필요함'이라고 적어 드릴게요. 그건 사실이니까요.

    Gwaenchanayo. Daesin jindanseoe 'chungbunhan hyusigi piryoham'irago jeogeo deurilgeyo. Geugeon sasirinikkayo.

    That's all right. Instead, I'll write "needs adequate rest" on the certificate. Because that's true.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 그걸로 연차를 쓸 수 있는지 팀장님께 여쭤볼게요. 연차는 제 권리니까요.

    Geugeollo yeonchareul sseul su inneunji timjangnimkke yeojjwobolgeyo. Yeonchaneun je gwollinikkayo.

    I'll ask my team leader if I can use it to take annual leave. Annual leave is my right, after all.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 좋은 생각이에요. 야근이 한 달이면 몸보다 마음이 먼저 지쳐요. 무리하면 금세 다시 아프니까 이번 주말에는 휴대폰도 좀 꺼 두세요.

    Joeun saenggagieyo. Yageuni han darimyeon momboda maeumi meonjeo jichyeoyo. Murihamyeon geumse dasi apeunikka ibeon jumareneun hyudaepondo jom kkeo duseyo.

    Good idea. After a month of overtime, your mind wears out before your body does. If you push yourself, you'll be ill again in no time, so turn off your phone for a bit this weekend.
