안녕하세요, Charlie 입니다.
일교차가 갑자기 심해지면서 아침저녁으로 많이 쌀쌀해 졌는데요,
주변에 감기걸리신 분들이 많으신거 같아요. 모두 건강관리잘하시길 바랍니다.
오늘은 환절기에 쓰이는 표현들 실제 대화와 함께 정리해보도록 하겠습니다.
Dialogue
Charlie: Hey Anna, can you feel it? The weather’s really starting to change. It was so hot last week, but now it’s getting chilly.
Anna: Yeah, I noticed that too. Summer just flew by, and now fall is creeping in. I actually had to wear a jacket this morning!
Charlie: Same here! The temperature drops so quickly these days, especially in the evenings. It’s easy to catch a cold with this kind of weather.
Anna: I know, right? I always forget to bring an extra layer, and that’s how I end up sniffling the next day. They say the change in weather can really knock you off your feet if you're not careful.
Charlie: Exactly! My grandmother always said, “better safe than sorry.” So I’ve been keeping my jacket handy. Have you been feeling okay?
Anna: For now, yes! But I heard a lot of people around me complaining about a sore throat or the sniffles. I’m just trying to stay ahead of the game—drinking lots of tea and keeping warm.
Charlie: That’s smart. Better to nip it in the bud before it turns into something worse. Plus, this time of year, it feels like everyone is coming down with something.
Anna: Definitely. It’s like you have to really stay on your toes with all these sudden changes. But I do love fall—the cool breeze, the colorful leaves.
Charlie: Oh, me too! Let’s just hope we can enjoy it without catching a cold!
한국어번역
Charlie: 안나, 느껴지니? 날씨가 정말 변하기 시작한 것 같아. 지난주에는 너무 더웠는데, 이제는 쌀쌀해지고 있어.
Anna: 맞아, 나도 느꼈어. 여름이 정말 빨리 지나가버렸고, 이제 가을이 서서히 다가오고 있어. 오늘 아침에 재킷을 입어야 했어!
Charlie: 나도 그랬어! 요즘 온도가 정말 빨리 떨어져, 특히 저녁에 말이야. 이런 날씨에는 감기 걸리기 쉬워.
Anna: 그러게 말이야. 항상 여분의 옷을 챙기는 걸 잊어버려서 다음날 코를 훌쩍거리는 경우가 많아. 사람들은 날씨 변화가 조심하지 않으면 정말 몸을무너뜨릴 수 있다고 하더라.
Charlie: 맞아! 우리 할머니도 항상 "조심해서 나쁠 건 없다"라고 하셨어. 그래서 나도 재킷을 항상 챙기고 다녀. 요즘 컨디션은 괜찮아?
Anna: 지금은 괜찮아! 하지만 내 주변 사람들이 많이 목이 아프다거나 콧물이 난다고 하더라. 나도 미리 대비하려고 노력 중이야—차를 많이 마시고 따뜻하게 입고 다니고 있어.
Charlie: 그거 현명하네. 더 심해지기 전에 미리 잡는 게 좋아. 게다가, 이 시기에는 다들 뭔가 걸리는 것 같아.
Anna: 정말 그래. 갑작스러운 변화에 항상 준비하고 있어야 하는 것 같아. 그래도 가을은 참 좋아—시원한 바람, 색색의 나뭇잎들.
Charlie: 나도 정말 좋아해! 감기 안 걸리고 잘 즐겼으면 좋겠다!
