This 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, had died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years, mainly due to her interest in health food, and exercise.
* car crash: 자동차 사고
* due to her interest ... : 아내의 건강 음식과 운동에 관한 관심 덕분으로
When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen and master bath suite and Jacuzzi.
* pearly gate: 진주로 장식된 대문
* deck out: 장식하다, 꾸미다
* master bath suite: 큰 욕실
* Jacuzzi: 자꾸지 (바닥에 거품이 뽀글뽀글 올라오는 욕)
As they "oohed and aahed" the old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost.
"It's free," Peter replied, "this is Heaven."
* "oohed and aahed" 오, 아 하면 감탄해했다
* cost: 비용이 얼마큼 들다
Next they went out back to survey the championship golf course that the home backed up to. They would have golfing privileges everyday and each week the course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth. The old man asked,
"What are the green fees?" Peter's reply, "This is heaven, you play for free."
* the home backed up to: 집 뒤에 위치한...
* golfing privilege: 골프 특별 사용권
* green fee: 골프 사용료 (골프장 색깔이 그린이죠)
Next they went to the club house and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisine's of the world laid out. "How much to eat?"asked the old man.
"Don't you understand yet? This is heaven, it is free!" Peter replied with some exasperation.
* lavish: 풍부한, 사치스런
* laid out: 진열된
* buffet: 부페
* cuisine: 요리(법), 음식
* exasperation: 격노, 화
"Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables?" the old man asked timidly.
Peter lectured, "That's the best part...you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is Heaven."
* thats the best part....: 최고의 음식들이다...니 먹고 싶은대로 먹어라...병도 안들고, 살도 안찐다. 여긴 천국이라니까...
With that the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping on it, and shrieking wildly. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong.
* a fit of anger: 격한 한차례의 분노
* throw dowm ... stomp on it: 모자를 벗어 던지고, 모자위에서 발을 구르다
*shriek: 비명지르다
The old man looked at his wife and said, "This is all your fault. If it weren't for your darn bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!"
* fault: 잘못
* bran muffin: 밀로된 머핀 (건강 음식의 일종)
하하하! 아내가 만들어준 건강 음식만 아니면 십년 전에 벌써 천국에 와서 잘 살았을 것을 하며 후회하고 있죠.
욕심이 많네요...할아버지....
