<P>Dialogue 2 About the thickness 두터움에 대하여</P>
<P><BR>5 keup : What do you call thickness in Paduk?</P>
<P><BR>5 급 : 바둑에서, 두터움이라고 하는 것이 무엇인가요?</P>
<P> </P>
<P>5 dan : It's a way of playing avoiding weakness even the speed is slow. It <BR>takes potential that is invisible rather than territory. </P>
<P><BR>5 단 : 발이 느리더라도 약점이 없이 두는 겁니다. 눈에 보이는 실리 보다 <BR>눈에 안 보이는 잠재력을 향한 수지요.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>5 kup : Is it centre oriented Paduk then?</P>
<P><BR>5 급 : 그렇다면 세력 바둑이라는 뜻인가요?</P>
<P> </P>
<P>5 dan : No, there can be thickness although it's not centre oriented. Strong <BR>players like Lee ChangHo and Rin Hai-Pong build thickness without losing territory.</P>
<P><BR>5 단 :아닙니다. 세력이 아닌 두터움도 있지요. 이창호, 린 하이펑 같은 <BR>고수들은 실리를 잃지 않으면서 두터움을 구축해 갑니다.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>5 keup : Then, would you say thickness is better than territory?<BR>5 급 : 그러면, 두터운 바둑이 실리 바둑보다 더 좋다고 말할 수는 있는 건가요?</P>
<P> </P>
<P>5 dan : If you can get an answer easily like that anyone can be a strong <BR>player. Thickness has got potentials in the later stage.</P>
<P><BR>5 단 : 바둑이 그렇게 쉽게 답을 구할 수 있는 것이라면, 누구나 고수가 되게요. 두터움은 (주로) 후반에 잠재력을 발휘합니다.</P>
<P> </P>
<P> </P>
<P>*A group of stones is thick if it contains few or no weak points and is not vulnerable to attack. It should be obvious that thickness is a good thing to have. </P>

<P>A : Hi, My name is 홍길동, I’m from Korea<BR>B : Hi! Casanova is my name. Nice to meet you.<BR>A : Nice meeting you. Do you know how to play Paduk(Go)?<BR>B : No, I am sorry, I don’t know how.<BR>A : That’s okay, I’ll teach you.<BR>B : Great, let’s start!</P>
<P> </P>
<P>안녕하세요? 한국에서 온 홍길동이라고 합니다.<BR>안녕하십니까? 카사노바입니다.<BR>만나서 반갑습니다. 바둑 둘 줄 아시나요?<BR>아니, 못 두는데요. 미안합니다.<BR>괜찮습니다. 제가 가르쳐 드릴게요.<BR>신난다? 그럼 시작합시다!</P>
<P> </P>
<P>A : Excuse me, but could you give me a game?<BR>B : Sure, What’s your level?<BR>A : I’m 3 dan. What’s yours?<BR>B : I’m 5 dan, so I can give you a two stone handicap game.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>실례합니다. 한 수 하시렵니까?<BR>좋지요. 얼마나 두시나요?<BR>3단입니다. 어떻게 두십니까?<BR>5단입니다. 제가 2점 접어드리면 되겠군요.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>A ; I’d like to play you, but I’m just a beginner. I’m only 9 Keup(kyu).<BR>B : That’s okay, I’ll give you a handicap.<BR>A : Yeah? What kind of handicap?<BR>B : 9 stones. What will make us more evenly matched. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>한 수 하고 싶습니다만, 제가 나무 초보자라…겨우 9급이거든요.<BR>좋습니다. 접바둑으로 하면 돼죠.<BR>정말이요? 몇 점이나 놓을까요?<BR>9점 놓아 보시지요. 그러면 비슷할 것 같습니다.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>A : Is Paduk easy to learn? (Is Paduk a difficult game?)<BR>B : Well, Yes and No. The rules are simple, but the game takes a <BR> long, long time to master.<BR>A : Really?, how long does it take to become a good player?<BR>B : At least three months to become competent, but it takes a life <BR>time to become a master.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>바둑은 배우기가 쉬운가요? (바둑이 어려운 게임인가요?)<BR>글쎄요, 그렇기도 하고, 그렇지 않기도 하구요…룰은 간단합니다만 고수가 되는 데에는 아주 오랜 시간이 걸립니다.<BR>그런가요? 잘 두려면 시간이 얼마나 걸리나요? <BR>최소한 3개월은 배워야 자격을 갖추죠. 고수가 되는 데에는 평생이 걸리고요…^ㅎㅎ^…</P>
<P><BR> <BR>A : Wow! That last move of yours was brilliant!<BR>B : Thank you… I’ve been studying a lot lately.<BR>A : In fact, you are doing so well. I think I’ll resign!<BR>B : Well let’s play again. I’ll give you some tips(advices) as we go.<BR> (at the Post game analysis) </P>
<P> </P>
<P>이야! 당신이 방금 둔 수는(당신의 마지막 착점은) 너무 멋집니다!<BR>감사합니다. 요즘 공부를 많이 하고 있습니다.<BR>그러게요. 정말 잘 두십니다. 던져야겠는데요(돌을 거두어야<BR>할 것 같은데요)<BR>그럼, 다시 두시렵니까. 두면서 제가 몇 가지 지적해 드리죠.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>A : Oh, today the game is getting boring. Let’s make it more <BR> interesting.<BR>B : How so?<BR>A : Let’s wager, I’ll bet you 10 dollars that I’ll beat you this game.<BR>B : You’re on! Let’s go!(Let’s do this!)</P>
<P> </P>
<P>이거, 오늘은 바둑이 좀 지루해지는데요. 우리 좀 재미있게 해봅시다.<BR>어떻게요?<BR>내기를 합시다. 제가 이 대국을 이기는데 10달러 걸겠습니다. <BR>좋습니다! 그럼 둡시다!</P>
<P> </P>
<P><BR>A : Is Seoul always this busy/crowded?</P>
<P>B : Yes, Seoul is one of the largest cities in the world</P>
<P>A : When did it become the capital city of Korea?</P>
<P>B : In 1394, it was more than 6 hundred years ago.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>서울은 늘 이렇게 복잡한가요(붐비나요)?<BR>그렇습니다. 서울은 세계에서 가장 큰 도시 가운데 하나입니다. <BR>서울이 한국의 수도가 된 것이 언제지요?<BR>1394년입니다. 6백년도 더 전이지요.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>A : How can I check my email?</P>
<P>B : There are two Note-Books in the foyer. You can ask one of the <BR>meet and greet team members out there.</P>
<P>A : Where can I make an international phone call?</P>
<P>B : Public phone booths are just over there. Do you want to make a <BR>phone call now?</P>
<P> </P>
<P>제 이메일을 어디서 볼 수 있을까요? <BR>건물 입구홀에 노트북 2개가 있습니다. 거기 가시면 우리 미트앤그리트 팀 멤버가 있으니까, 그 중 누구한테나 부탁하시면 될 겁니다. <BR> 국제전화는 어디서 하지요? <BR>저쪽에 공중전화가 있습니다. 지금 하시려구요?</P>
<P><BR>A: It is sad to hear that Kato Masao 9dan passed away.</P>
<P>B: Yes, he was known as “the killer” in his early years.</P>
<P>A: It was due to his ability to kill the opponents’ groups.</P>
