1. 1

   A 하윤아, 아까 할아버지 댁에서 어른들이 하던 얘기 들었어?

   Hayuna, akka harabeoji daegeseo eoreundeuri hadeon yaegi deureosseo?

   Hayun, did you hear what the grown-ups were talking about at Grandpa's earlier?

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 응, 조금. 할아버지가 자전거 타는 사람을 칠 뻔하셨다며?

   Eung, jogeum. Harabeojiga jajeongeo taneun sarameul chil ppeonhasyeotdamyeo?

   Yeah, a bit. Grandpa nearly hit someone on a bike, right?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 응, 하마터면 큰일 날 뻔했어. 신호를 못 보셨대. 할아버지 연세가 벌써 여든둘이시잖아.

   Eung, hamateomyeon keunil nal ppeonhaesseo. Sinhoreul mot bosyeotdae. Harabeoji yeonsega beolsseo yeodeundurisijana.

   Yeah, it could have been really bad. He didn't see the light. Grandpa's already eighty-two, you know.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 그래서 아빠랑 고모가 할아버지한테 면허증을 반납하시라고 말씀드린 거야?

   Geuraeseo apparang gomoga harabeojihante myeonheojeungeul bannapasirago malsseumdeurin geoya?

   So that's why you and Auntie told Grandpa to hand in his licence?

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 응. 근데 할아버지는 아직 끄떡없다고 하시면서 화를 내셨어.

   Eung. Geunde harabeojineun ajik kkeutteogeopdago hasimyeonseo hwareul naesyeosseo.

   Yeah. But Grandpa got angry and said he's still perfectly fine.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 설마 할아버지가 진짜 운전을 그만두시려고? 차 몰고 다니시는 걸 제일 좋아하시잖아.

   Seolma harabeojiga jinjja unjeoneul geumandusiryeogo? Cha molgo danisineun geol jeil joahasijana.

   Would Grandpa really give up driving? No way. He loves driving around more than anything.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그러니까 걱정이지. 요즘은 할머니조차 할아버지 차를 안 타려고 하셔.

   Geureonikka geokjeongiji. Yojeumeun halmeonijocha harabeoji chareul an taryeogo hasyeo.

   That's exactly why we're worried. These days even Grandma won't get in his car.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 할머니가? 할아버지가 그걸 아시면 자존심이 엄청 상하시겠다.

   Halmeoniga? Harabeojiga geugeol asimyeon jajonsimi eomcheong sanghasigetda.

   Grandma won't? If Grandpa found out, his pride would be really hurt.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 그렇지. 근데 사고는 한순간이야. 요즘 할아버지 반응이 부쩍 느려지셔서 생각만 해도 끔찍해.

   Geureochi. Geunde sagoneun hansunganiya. Yojeum harabeoji baneungi bujjeok neuryeojisyeoseo saenggangman haedo kkeumjjikae.

   Right. But an accident happens in a split second. Grandpa's reactions have got a lot slower lately, and it's scary just thinking about it.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 그래도 차가 없으면 어떻게 다니셔? 할아버지 동네는 버스도 한 시간에 한 대밖에 안 오잖아.

    Geuraedo chaga eopseumyeon eotteoke danisyeo? Harabeoji dongneneun beoseudo han sigane han daebakke an ojana.

    But how will he get around without a car? In Grandpa's neighbourhood, a bus only comes once an hour.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그게 제일 큰 문제야. 병원에도 다니셔야 하고 노인정에도 매일 가시는데, 마땅한 대안이 없어.

    Geuge jeil keun munjeya. Byeongwonedo danisyeoya hago noinjeongedo maeil gasineunde, mattanghan daeani eopseo.

    That's the biggest problem. He has to go to the doctor's, and he goes to the seniors' centre every day, and there's no good alternative.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그럼 이건 어때? 할아버지가 면허증을 반납하시면 우리가 매달 택시비를 보내 드리는 거야.

    Geureom igeon eottae? Harabeojiga myeonheojeungeul bannapasimyeon uriga maedal taeksibireul bonae deurineun geoya.

    Then how about this? If Grandpa hands in his licence, we send him taxi money every month.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 택시비? 할아버지 성격에 그런 돈을 순순히 받으시려고?

    Taeksibi? Harabeoji seonggyeoge geureon doneul sunsunhi badeusiryeogo?

    Taxi money? Knowing Grandpa, you think he'd just accept money like that?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그러니까 내가 말씀드릴게. 할아버지는 내 부탁이면 다 들어주시잖아.

    Geureonikka naega malsseumdeurilge. Harabeojineun nae butagimyeon da deureojusijana.

    That's why I'll ask him. Grandpa does anything I ask.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 하하, 그건 맞아. 손녀 부탁은 할아버지도 거절하기 힘드시겠지.

    Haha, geugeon maja. Sonnyeo butageun harabeojido geojeolhagi himdeusigetji.

    Ha, that's true. Even Grandpa would find it hard to turn down his granddaughter.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 그리고 주말마다 우리가 가서 할아버지 모시고 장 보러 가면 되잖아. 장바구니는 내가 들게.

    Geurigo jumalmada uriga gaseo harabeoji mosigo jang boreo gamyeon doejana. Jangbagunineun naega deulge.

    And every weekend we can go and take Grandpa grocery shopping. I'll carry the shopping bags.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 좋아. 다음 주에 가면 네가 직접 말씀드려 봐. 근데 할아버지가 '그럼 하윤이가 운전해 줄래?' 하시면 어쩔래?

    Joa. Daeum jue gamyeon nega jikjeop malsseumdeuryeo bwa. Geunde harabeojiga 'geureom Hayuniga unjeonhae jullae?' Hasimyeon eojjeollae?

    Okay. When we go next week, you ask him yourself. But what'll you do if Grandpa says, "Then will you drive me, Hayun?"

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 그럼 딱 팔 년만 기다리시라고 하지, 뭐.

    Geureom ttak pal nyeonman gidarisirago haji, mwo.

    Then I'll tell him to wait just eight more years.

    Line 18
