=============================

(It's Friday and Carlos comes home from work and is greeted by his wife Sarah … )
(금요일에 칼로스가 집에 오니 아내 새라가 반긴다 …)

Sarah: Hi!
새라: 여보!

Carlos: (in a low voice) Hi.
칼로스: (낮은 목소리로) 잘 왔어.

Sarah: What's the matter? You sound tired.
새라: 무슨 일이야? 피곤해 보이네.

Carlos: I am. I'm bushed.
칼로스: 피곤해. 아주 녹초가 됐어.

Sarah: Did you have a long day?

칼로스: 바로 그거야. 집에 오니 좋네.
