[헤럴드밴쿠버다운타운]

안녕하세요, Charlie 입니다.

주말 잘 보내셨나요? 저는 토요일에 아보츠포드에서 서커스 공연을 관람했답니다.

작은 동네에 열리는 서커스 공연이지만 놀라운 묘기들이 가득했던 공연이었어요. 작년에 놓쳐서 아쉬웠었는데, 이번에 가길 잘한 것 같아요.

서커스 관람에 관련된 실제 대화 보시면서, 대화에 사용된 필수 영어 표현들도 함께 공부해 보실까요?

 Dialogue 

Between Charlie and Anna at the Osorio Circus in Abbotsford

Charlie: Wow, Anna! I can't believe we’re finally here at Osorio. Look at all the colors and lights!

Anna: Yeah, it's so vibrant! I haven’t been to a circus in ages. It’s going to be a real treat.

Charlie: For sure! I heard the acrobats are out of this world. They’re supposed to take your breath away.

Anna: I bet! I’m just hoping we don’t miss the tightrope walkers. They always keep me on the edge of my seat.

Charlie: Oh, we won’t miss a thing. We’ve got front-row seats, remember?

Anna: That’s right! I almost forgot. This was such a good idea. You really hit the nail on the head with this one.

Charlie: I try! But hey, have you seen that clown over there? He looks like he’s up to something.

Anna: Yeah, he’s got a mischievous grin, doesn’t he? I wonder what he’s planning. Knowing clowns, they’re always full of surprises.

Charlie: Well, let’s not get too caught up. We still have the trapeze act to look forward to. That’s going to be the highlight of the night.

Anna: I can’t wait for that! They say it’s the best in the country. It’s like we’re in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Charlie: I know, right? I feel like a kid in a candy store here. So much to see and do!

Anna: Me too. This place is packed! I’m glad we didn’t drag our feet on getting tickets. 

Charlie: Yeah, we dodged a bullet there. Tickets were flying off the shelves last week.

Anna: Lucky us! This is turning out even better than I expected. Let’s grab some popcorn before the show starts.

Charlie: Sounds good. Let’s grab it before the line gets out of hand!

한국어 번역

찰리: 와, 안나! 우리가 드디어 오소리오 서커스에 왔다는 게 믿기지 않아. 색깔과 조명 좀 봐!

안나: 맞아, 정말 화려하다! 서커스에 온 게 정말 오랜만이야. 정말 멋진 시간이 될 것 같아.

찰리: 그렇지? 들었는데 곡예사들이 정말 대단하대. 숨이 멎을 정도라고 하더라고.

안나: 확실히 그럴 거야! 줄타기 하는 사람들만 놓치지 않으면 좋겠어. 항상 손에 땀을 쥐게 만들거든.

찰리: 오, 우리가 놓칠 일은 없어. 우리 앞자리 좌석이잖아, 기억나?

찰리: 음, 너무 여기에 빠지지 말자. 아직 공중 그네 공연도 남아있잖아. 오늘 밤의 하이라이트가 될 거야.

안나: 정말 기대돼! 나라에서 최고라고 하잖아. 우리 인생에 한 번 있을 경험일 거야.

찰리: 맞아, 나도 그렇게 생각해. 여기 있으니까 사탕 가게에 들어온 아이가 된 것 같아. 볼 것도 많고 할 것도 많아!

안나: 나도 그래. 사람들도 많네! 티켓을 빨리 사길 정말 잘했어.

찰리: 그러게, 큰일 날 뻔했어. 지난주에 티켓이 엄청 빨리 팔렸잖아.

안나: 우리 정말 운이 좋았네! 이건 내가 기대했던 것보다 훨씬 더 좋은데. 공연 시작 전에 팝콘 좀 사자.

찰리: 좋아, 줄이 길어지기 전에 빨리 가자!
