1. 1

   C 두 사람 다 수고했어요. 근데 오늘 토론 연습 영상을 다시 보니까 아쉬운 점이 하나 있네요.

   Du saram da sugohaesseoyo. Geunde oneul toron yeonseup yeongsangeul dasi bonikka aswiun jeomi hana inneyo.

   Good work, both of you. But watching the video of today's practice debate again, there's one thing that bothered me.

   Line 1
2. 2

   A 제 얘기시죠? 저도 좀 찔렸어요.

   Je yaegisijyo? Jeodo jom jjillyeosseoyo.

   You mean me, right? I've been feeling a bit guilty myself.

   Line 2
3. 3

   C 네. 준호 씨가 너무 흥분한 나머지 상대 발언을 세 번이나 끊었어요.

   Ne. Junho ssiga neomu heungbunhan nameoji sangdae bareoneul se beonina kkeuneosseoyo.

   Yes. Junho, you got so worked up that you cut off the other side three times.

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 죄송합니다. 상대 팀이 최저임금이 오르면 자영업자가 다 망한다고 단정하길래 참을 수가 없었어요.

   Joesonghamnida. Sangdae timi choejeoimgeumi oreumyeon jayeongeopjaga da manghandago danjeonghagillae chameul suga eopseosseoyo.

   I'm sorry. The other team flatly claimed that raising the minimum wage would ruin every small business owner, and I just couldn't sit there.

   Line 4
5. 5

   C 그 마음은 알아요. 하지만 심사위원 눈에는 논리보다 감정적인 태도가 먼저 보여요.

   Geu maeumeun arayo. Hajiman simsawiwon nuneneun nolliboda gamjeongjeogin taedoga meonjeo boyeoyo.

   I understand how you felt. But judges notice an emotional attitude before they notice your logic.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 사실 그때 네가 목소리를 너무 높인 나머지 우리 쪽 핵심 근거도 제대로 전달이 안 됐어.

   Sasil geuttae nega moksorireul neomu nopin nameoji uri jjok haeksim geungeodo jedaero jeondari an dwaesseo.

   Honestly, you raised your voice so much that our key evidence didn't get across properly either.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그렇게 심했어? 난 분명하게 말했다고 생각했는데.

   Geureoke simhaesseo? Nan bunmyeonghage malhaetdago saenggakaenneunde.

   Was it that bad? I thought I was making myself clear.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 심했지. 결국 상대 팀 선배가 좀 쉬었다 하자기에 겨우 진정됐잖아.

   Simhaetji. Gyeolguk sangdae tim seonbaega jom swieotda hajagie gyeou jinjeongdwaetjana.

   It was. Things only calmed down because a senior on the other team suggested we take a break.

   Line 8
9. 9

   C 대회 본선에서는 그런 쉬는 시간이 없어요. 그러니까 흥분될 때 쓸 방법을 미리 정해 둬야 해요.

   Daehoe bonseoneseoneun geureon swineun sigani eopseoyo. Geureonikka heungbundoel ttae sseul bangbeobeul miri jeonghae dwoya haeyo.

   There won't be breaks like that in the finals. So you need to decide in advance what you'll do when you feel yourself getting worked up.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 교수님, 어떤 방법이 있을까요?

    Gyosunim, eotteon bangbeobi isseulkkayo?

    Professor, what can I do?

    Line 10
11. 11

    C 상대 주장을 들을 때 메모를 하세요. 끊고 싶은 말이 생기면 입 대신 손으로 적는 거예요.

    Sangdae jujangeul deureul ttae memoreul haseyo. Kkeunko sipeun mari saenggimyeon ip daesin soneuro jeongneun geoyeyo.

    Take notes while you listen to the other side's argument. When you want to interrupt, write it down instead of saying it.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 교수님, 그리고 반박할 때는 무조건 숫자부터 말하는 게 좋겠죠? 최저임금 오른 뒤의 실업률 통계 같은 거요.

    Gyosunim, geurigo banbakal ttaeneun mujogeon sutjabuteo malhaneun ge joketjyo? Choejeoimgeum oreun dwiui sireomnyul tonggye gateun geoyo.

    Professor, and when we rebut, it'd be best to always lead with numbers, right? Like the unemployment figures after the minimum wage went up.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 좋아. 감정이 아니라 근거로 시작하면 나도 덜 흥분할 것 같아.

    Joa. Gamjeongi anira geungeoro sijakamyeon nado deol heungbunhal geot gata.

    Okay. If I start with evidence instead of feelings, I think I'll get less worked up.

    Line 13
14. 14

    C 맞아요. 그리고 상대가 틀린 말을 해도 '좋은 지적입니다'로 시작해 보세요. 훨씬 차분하고 여유 있어 보이거든요.

    Majayo. Geurigo sangdaega teullin mareul haedo 'joeun jijeogimnida'ro sijakae boseyo. Hwolssin chabunhago yeoyu isseo boigeodeunyo.

    Exactly. And even when the other side says something wrong, try starting with 'That's a good point.' You'll come across as much calmer and more composed.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그 말이 입에서 나오려면 진짜 연습이 필요하겠네요.

    Geu mari ibeseo naoryeomyeon jinjja yeonseubi piryohagenneyo.

    I'll need a lot of practice before those words come out of my mouth.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 걱정 마. 다음 연습 때 내가 일부러 얄밉게 말해 줄게.

    Geokjeong ma. Daeum yeonseup ttae naega ilbureo yalmipge malhae julge.

    Don't worry. At the next practice, I'll be deliberately annoying just for you.

    Line 16
17. 17

    C 좋아요. 다음 주에는 준호 씨가 반대 측, 지은 씨가 찬성 측을 맡아서 한 번 더 해 봅시다.

    Joayo. Daeum jueneun Junho ssiga bandae cheuk, Jieun ssiga chanseong cheugeul mataseo han beon deo hae bopsida.

    Good. Next week, Junho, you take the side against, and Jieun, you take the side for, and we'll try it again.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 네? 제가 반대 측이요? 최저임금 인상에 반대하는 논리를 제가 펴야 한다고요?

    Ne? Jega bandae cheugiyo? Choejeoimgeum insange bandaehaneun nollireul jega pyeoya handagoyo?

    What? I'm on the side against? I have to argue against raising the minimum wage?

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 준호야, 그럴 땐 뭐라고 하라고 하셨지? '좋은 지적입니다.'

    Junhoya, geureol ttaen mworago harago hasyeotji? 'Joeun jijeogimnida.'

    Junho, what are you supposed to say at times like this? "That's a good point."

    Line 19
