   B 어머니, 구청 주민 참여 예산 투표가 오늘 밤까지래요. 우리 셋 다 투표할 수 있으니까 같이 보세요.

   Eomeoni, gucheong jumin chamyeo yesan tupyoga oneul bamkkajiraeyo. Uri set da tupyohal su isseunikka gachi boseyo.

   Mom, the district office's participatory budget vote closes tonight. All three of us can vote, so let's look at it together.

   A 그럼 당연히 시장 지붕이지. 비만 오면 장사하는 사람들이 얼마나 고생하는데.

   Geureom dangyeonhi sijang jibungiji. Biman omyeon jangsahaneun saramdeuri eolmana gosaenghaneunde.

   Then it's the market roof, obviously. Every time it rains, the stallholders have such a hard time.

   Line 2
3. 3

   C 할머니, 청소년 공부방도 후보에 올라와 있어요. 우리 동네엔 공짜로 쓸 수 있는 열람실이 하나도 없잖아요.

   Halmeoni, cheongsonyeon gongbubangdo huboe ollawa isseoyo. Uri dongneen gongjjaro sseul su inneun yeollamsiri hanado eopjanayo.

   Grandma, there's a youth study room on the list too. There isn't a single free study hall in our neighbourhood.

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 오늘따라 우리 손자가 웬일로 동네 일에 관심이 많네?

   Oneulttara uri sonjaga wenillo dongne ire gwansimi manne?

   Well, well. What's got into my grandson today, taking such an interest in neighbourhood affairs?

   Line 4
5. 5

   C 저도 이제 고등학생이에요. 이런 건 저희한테 제일 시급한 문제라고요.

   Jeodo ije godeunghaksaengieyo. Ireon geon jeohuihante jeil sigeupan munjeragoyo.

   I'm in high school now, Grandma. For kids like me, this is the most urgent issue there is.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 어머, 벌써 투표한 사람이 삼천 명이 넘었는걸요. 생각보다 관심이 많네요.

   Eomeo, beolsseo tupyohan sarami samcheon myeongi neomeonneungeoryo. Saenggakboda gwansimi manneyo.

   Oh my, more than three thousand people have already voted. There's more interest than I thought.

   Line 6
7. 7

   C 엄마, 지금 어느 쪽이 이기고 있어?

   Eomma, jigeum eoneu jjogi igigo isseo?

   Mom, which one's winning right now?

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 결과는 투표가 마감돼야 공개된대. 그러니까 우리 표를 한군데로 모아야지.

   Gyeolgwaneun tupyoga magamdwaeya gonggaedoendae. Geureonikka uri pyoreul hangundero moayaji.

   They only announce the results after voting closes. So we'd better put all our votes in one place.

   A 시장 지붕은 돈이 얼마나 드는데?

   Sijang jibungeun doni eolmana deuneunde?

   How much does the market roof cost?

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 이억 원이요. 공부방은 오천만 원이고요.

    Ieok woniyo. Gongbubangeun ocheonman wonigoyo.

    Two hundred million won. The study room is fifty million.

    Line 10
11. 11

    C 그거 보세요. 지붕 하나 값이면 공부방을 네 개나 만들 수 있어요.

    Geugeo boseyo. Jibung hana gapsimyeon gongbubangeul ne gaena mandeul su isseoyo.

    See? For the price of one roof, you could build four study rooms.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 얘, 돈으로만 따지면 안 된다. 시장에 오는 사람이 하루에 몇 명인 줄 아니?

    Yae, doneuroman ttajimyeon an doenda. Sijange oneun sarami harue myeot myeongin jul ani?

    Now, you can't judge everything by money. Do you know how many people come to that market every day?

    Line 12
13. 13

    C 알아요, 할머니. 근데 시장은 따로 지원을 받는다고 들었어요. 공부방은 주민들이 안 뽑으면 아무도 안 만들어 줘요.

    Arayo, halmeoni. Geunde sijangeun ttaro jiwoneul banneundago deureosseoyo. Gongbubangeun jumindeuri an ppobeumyeon amudo an mandeureo jwoyo.

    I know, Grandma. But I heard the market gets separate funding. If residents don't pick the study room, no one will ever build it.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그건 맞는 말이네. 어머니, 방금 공고문을 다시 보니까 시장 지붕 공사는 내년 시 예산에도 들어가 있던데요.

    Geugeon manneun marine. Eomeoni, banggeum gonggomuneul dasi bonikka sijang jibung gongsaneun naenyeon si yesanedo deureoga itdeondeyo.

    He's got a point there. Mom, I just read the notice again, and the market roof is already in next year's city budget.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그래? 그건 몰랐네. 그럼 우리 표를 굳이 지붕에 쓸 필요는 없겠구나.

    Geurae? Geugeon mollanne. Geureom uri pyoreul guji jibunge sseul piryoneun eopgetguna.

    Really? I didn't know that. Then there's no need to spend our votes on the roof.

    Line 15
16. 16

    C 할머니, 진짜 괜찮으세요? 서운하시면 안 되는데.

    Halmeoni, jinjja gwaenchaneuseyo? Seounhasimyeon an doeneunde.

    Grandma, are you really okay with that? I don't want you to feel let down.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 서운하긴. 근데 공부방 생기면 거기서 게임만 하는 건 아니지?

    Seounhagin. Geunde gongbubang saenggimyeon geogiseo geimman haneun geon aniji?

    Let down? Not a bit. But once you've got your study room, you won't just play games in it, will you?

    Line 17
18. 18

    C 할머니도 참. 게임은 집에서 해도 되는걸요.

    Halmeonido cham. Geimeun jibeseo haedo doeneungeoryo.

    Oh, Grandma. I can play games at home.

    Line 18

    B 얘가 정말! 그럼 우리 세 표는 다 공부방이에요. 어머니, 여기 이 버튼 누르시면 돼요. 자, 투표 완료!

    Yaega jeongmal! Geureom uri se pyoneun da gongbubangieyo. Eomeoni, yeogi i beoteun nureusimyeon dwaeyo. Ja, tupyo wallyo!

    Honestly, this boy! Right, all three of our votes go to the study room. Mom, just press this button here. There, vote cast!
