1. 1

   A 얘들아, 이것 좀 봐. 1970년 일간지 머리기사야. "경부고속도로 전 구간 개통, 전국이 일일생활권 된다."

   Yaedeura, igeot jom bwa. 1970nyeon ilganji meorigisaya. "Gyeongbugosokdoro jeon gugan gaetong, jeongugi irilsaenghwalgwon doenda."

   Guys, look at this. A 1970 front page. "Seoul-Busan Expressway opens in full: the whole country now a day trip away."

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 일일생활권? 아, 하루 안에 전국 어디든 갔다가 돌아올 수 있으니까 그렇게 부른 거구나.

   Irilsaenghwalgwon? A, haru ane jeonguk eodideun gatdaga doraol su isseunikka geureoke bureun geoguna.

   "A day trip away"? Oh, they called it that because you could go anywhere in the country and back in a day.

   Line 2
3. 3

   C 여기는 1980년이야. "오늘부터 컬러 방송 시작, 안방에 총천연색 시대 열린다." 총천연색이래, 귀엽다.

   Yeogineun 1980nyeoniya. "Oneulbuteo keolleo bangsong sijak, anbange chongcheonyeonsaek sidae yeollinda." Chongcheonyeonsaegirae, gwiyeopda.

   This one's from 1980. "Colour broadcasts begin today: full-colour era comes to living rooms." "Full-colour"! That's cute.

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 우리 할머니 말씀으로는 컬러 텔레비전 처음 들어온 날 온 동네 사람들이 할머니 집에 모였대.

   Uri halmeoni malsseumeuroneun keolleo tellebijeon cheoeum deureoon nal on dongne saramdeuri halmeoni jibe moyeotdae.

   My grandma says that on the day her first colour TV arrived, the whole neighbourhood gathered at her house.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 근데 이렇게 하나씩 다 읽다가는 박물관 문 닫을 때까지 못 나가. 이 층 전시관도 봐야 되잖아.

   Geunde ireoke hanassik da ikdaganeun bangmulgwan mun dadeul ttaekkaji mot naga. I cheung jeonsigwando bwaya doejana.

   But if we read every single one like this, we won't get out before the museum closes. We still have to see the second-floor gallery.

   Line 5
6. 6

   C 잠깐만, 이것만. "수출 백억 달러 달성, 온 국민의 땀이 이룬 기적." 1977년이래.

   Jamkkanman, igeonman. "Suchul baegeok dalleo dalseong, on gungminui ttami irun gijeok." 1977nyeonirae.

   Hang on, just this one. "$10 billion in exports achieved: a miracle built on the sweat of the whole nation." It's from 1977.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 기적은 기적이지. 몇십 년 만에 이렇게 발전한 나라는 드물잖아.

   Gijeogeun gijeogiji. Myeotsip nyeon mane ireoke baljeonhan naraneun deumuljana.

   It really was a miracle. Few countries developed this much in just a few decades.

   Line 7
8. 8

   C 근데 그 땀이 누구 땀이었는지도 생각해 봐야지. 우리 할아버지는 공장에서 밤낮없이 하루 열네 시간씩 일하셨대.

   Geunde geu ttami nugu ttamieonneunjido saenggakae bwayaji. Uri harabeojineun gongjangeseo bamnajeopsi haru yeolle siganssik ilhasyeotdae.

   But we should also think about whose sweat it was. My grandpa worked in a factory fourteen hours a day, day and night.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 그 세대는 다들 그렇게 살았잖아. 그 덕분에 우리가 지금 이렇게 편하게 사는 거고.

   Geu sedaeneun dadeul geureoke saratjana. Geu deokbune uriga jigeum ireoke pyeonhage saneun geogo.

   Everyone in that generation lived like that. It's thanks to them that we live so comfortably now.

   Line 9
10. 10

    C 그 덕분인 건 맞아. 그래도 쉬는 날도 없이 일하고, 다쳐도 보상 하나 못 받은 걸 그냥 '희생'이라고 부르면 좀 불편해.

    Geu deokbunin geon maja. Geuraedo swineun naldo eopsi ilhago, dachyeodo bosang hana mot badeun geol geunyang 'huisaeng'irago bureumyeon jom bulpyeonhae.

    It's true it's thanks to them. But it bothers me when working without days off, and getting nothing when you were hurt, just gets called "sacrifice."

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 무슨 말인지 알아. 성장만 보고 사람은 안 보는 거 말이지.

    Museun marinji ara. Seongjangman bogo sarameun an boneun geo mariji.

    I know what you mean. Looking only at the growth and not at the people.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그래도 그때 산업화를 안 했으면 지금의 우리나라도 없었을 거야. 선택의 여지가 없었을걸.

    Geuraedo geuttae saneophwareul an haesseumyeon jigeumui urinarado eopseosseul geoya. Seontaegui yeojiga eopseosseulgeol.

    Still, without industrialisation back then, the country wouldn't be what it is now. I bet they had no choice.

    Line 12
13. 13

    C 선택의 여지가 없었던 사람들한테 고맙다고만 하면 안 되지. 그 대가도 같이 기억해야지.

    Seontaegui yeojiga eopseotdeon saramdeulhante gomapdagoman hamyeon an doeji. Geu daegado gachi gieokaeyaji.

    We can't just say thank you to people who had no choice. We have to remember the price they paid, too.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 난 둘 다 맞는 것 같아. 고마워하면서도 그 대가는 잊지 않으면 되잖아.

    Nan dul da manneun geot gata. Gomawohamyeonseodo geu daeganeun itji aneumyeon doejana.

    I think you're both right. We can be grateful and still not forget what it cost.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 오, 소희가 오늘 결론 다 냈네. 역사 선생님 해도 되겠다.

    O, Sohuiga oneul gyeollon da naenne. Yeoksa seonsaengnim haedo doegetda.

    Oh, Sohee's wrapped it all up for us. You could be a history teacher.

    Line 15
16. 16

    C 그럼 이제 이 층으로 가자. 여기서 계속 토론하다가는 진짜 경비 아저씨가 쫓아내겠다.

    Geureom ije i cheungeuro gaja. Yeogiseo gyesok toronhadaganeun jinjja gyeongbi ajeossiga jjochanaegetda.

    Okay, let's go up to the second floor now. If we keep debating here, the security guard really is going to throw us out.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 잠깐, 할머니 보여 드리게 컬러 방송 기사만 한 장 찍고. ...됐다! 가자.

    Jamkkan, halmeoni boyeo deurige keolleo bangsong gisaman han jang jjikgo. ...Dwaetda! Gaja.

    Wait, let me just snap the colour TV article to show my grandma... Done! Let's go.
