   A 다들 사진 봤죠? 어젯밤에 누가 북문 옆 성벽에 스프레이로 낙서를 했어요.

   Dadeul sajin bwatjyo? Eojetbame nuga bungmun yeop seongbyeoge seupeureiro nakseoreul haesseoyo.

   You've all seen the photos, right? Last night someone spray-painted graffiti on the wall next to the north gate.

   B 네, 아침에 보고 너무 속상했어요. 복원하는 데 얼마나 걸릴까요?

   Ne, achime bogo neomu soksanghaesseoyo. Bogwonhaneun de eolmana geollilkkayo?

   Yes, I was so upset when I saw it this morning. How long will it take to restore?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 전문가 말로는 돌에 페인트가 스며들어서 최소 한 달은 걸린대요. 비용도 수천만 원이 들고요.

   Jeonmunga malloneun dore peinteuga seumyeodeureoseo choeso han dareun geollindaeyo. Biyongdo sucheonman woni deulgoyo.

   According to the experts, the paint has soaked into the stone, so it'll take at least a month. And it'll cost tens of millions of won.

   Line 3
4. 4

   C 수천만 원이요? 장난 한 번에 그렇게 큰돈이 들다니요.

   Sucheonman woniyo? Jangnan han beone geureoke keundoni deuldaniyo.

   Tens of millions? All that money for one prank.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 그래서 이번엔 성벽 둘레에 울타리를 치려고 해요. 이대로 두다가는 또 훼손될 거예요.

   Geuraeseo ibeonen seongbyeok dullee ultarireul chiryeogo haeyo. Idaero dudaganeun tto hwesondoel geoyeyo.

   So this time I'm thinking of putting a fence around the wall. If we leave it as it is, it'll get damaged again.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 울타리를 치면 안전하긴 하겠지만, 성벽을 따라 걷는 게 이곳의 매력이잖아요.

   Ultarireul chimyeon anjeonhagin hagetjiman, seongbyeogeul ttara geonneun ge igosui maeryeogijanayo.

   A fence would make it safe, but walking along the wall is the whole appeal of this place.

   Line 6
7. 7

   C 저도 같은 생각이에요. 문화재는 보호도 중요하지만 시민들이 가까이서 느낄 수 있어야 해요.

   Jeodo gateun saenggagieyo. Munhwajaeneun bohodo jungyohajiman simindeuri gakkaiseo neukkil su isseoya haeyo.

   I agree. Protecting heritage matters, but people should be able to experience it up close.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 말은 좋죠. 근데 또 이런 일이 생기면 결국 관리 책임은 우리가 져야 해요.

   Mareun jochyo. Geunde tto ireon iri saenggimyeon gyeolguk gwalli chaegimeun uriga jyeoya haeyo.

   That sounds nice. But if this happens again, in the end we're the ones held responsible.

   Line 8
9. 9

   C 그럼 울타리 대신 CCTV를 늘리면 어떨까요? 지금은 북문 쪽에 카메라가 한 대도 없어요.

   Geureom ultari daesin CCTVreul neullimyeon eotteolkkayo? Jigeumeun bungmun jjoge kameraga han daedo eopseoyo.

   Then how about more CCTV cameras instead of a fence? At the moment there isn't a single camera by the north gate.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 저는 낮에는 해설사를 늘리고, 밤에는 순찰을 돌면 좋겠어요. 여름밤마다 젊은 사람들이 성벽에 올라가서 사진을 찍곤 하거든요.

    Jeoneun najeneun haeseolsareul neulligo, bameneun sunchareul dolmyeon jokesseoyo. Yeoreumbammada jeolmeun saramdeuri seongbyeoge ollagaseo sajineul jjikgon hageodeunyo.

    I'd like more guides during the day and patrols at night. On summer nights, young people often climb the wall to take photos.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그건 저도 봤어요. 그렇게 올라가다가는 돌이 무너지거나 사람이 떨어질 수도 있어요.

    Geugeon jeodo bwasseoyo. Geureoke ollagadaganeun dori muneojigeona sarami tteoreojil sudo isseoyo.

    I've seen that too. If people keep climbing like that, the stones could give way or someone could fall.

    Line 11
12. 12

    C 안내판도 바꿔야 해요. 지금은 '올라가지 마세요'라고만 쓰여 있어서 아무도 신경을 안 써요.

    Annaepando bakkwoya haeyo. Jigeumeun 'ollagaji maseyo'ragoman sseuyeo isseoseo amudo singyeongeul an sseoyo.

    We need to change the signs too. Right now they only say "Do not climb," so nobody pays any attention.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 벌금이 얼마인지, 왜 위험한지까지 쓰면 효과가 있을 거예요. 외국인 관광객을 위해서 영어로도요.

    Beolgeumi eolmainji, wae wiheomhanjikkaji sseumyeon hyogwaga isseul geoyeyo. Oegugin gwangwanggaegeul wihaeseo Yeongeorodoyo.

    If we say how much the fine is and why it's dangerous, it'll work. In English as well, for foreign tourists.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 좋아요. 그럼 카메라와 안내판은 바로 추진하고, 울타리는 낙서가 된 구간에만 임시로 설치합시다.

    Joayo. Geureom kamerawa annaepaneun baro chujinhago, ultarineun nakseoga doen guganeman imsiro seolchihapsida.

    All right. Then let's go ahead with the cameras and signs right away, and put up a temporary fence only around the section with the graffiti.

    Line 14
15. 15

    C 해설사 인원은요? 예산이 부족하다고 하셨잖아요.

    Haeseolsa inwoneunyo? Yesani bujokadago hasyeotjanayo.

    What about more guides? You said the budget was tight.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 자원봉사자를 모집하면 어때요? 역사를 좋아하는 대학생들이 꽤 많아요.

    Jawonbongsajareul mojipamyeon eottaeyo? Yeoksareul joahaneun daehaksaengdeuri kkwae manayo.

    How about recruiting volunteers? Quite a lot of university students love history.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 그거 괜찮네요. 하은 씨가 모집 공고문 초안 좀 써 줄래요? 오후에 시청에 같이 가져갑시다.

    Geugeo gwaenchanneyo. Haeun ssiga mojip gonggomun choan jom sseo jullaeyo? Ohue sicheonge gachi gajyeogapsida.

    That's a good idea. Haeun, could you draft a recruitment notice? Let's take it to city hall together this afternoon.

    Line 17
18. 18

    C 저는 경찰 쪽이랑 계속 연락하면서 범인 찾는 거 챙길게요.

    Jeoneun gyeongchal jjogirang gyesok yeollakamyeonseo beomin channeun geo chaenggilgeyo.

    I'll keep in touch with the police and follow up on finding whoever did it.
