[입트영] 12월 셋째주

12. 18 Do you buy things in installments? 할부로 구매하나요?

Paying for things in installments is very common in Korea.
할부결제하는 건 한국에서 일반적이다.

 - installments : 할부결제 (복수로 씀)

 - pay for~: ~를 지불하다/~를 구매하다

Of course many people pay for expensive things such as cars in installments.
물론 많은 사람들이 차와 같은 비싼 물건은 할부로 구매한다.

They pay off the money over a certain period of time.
그들은 일정 기간에 걸쳐 대금을 완납한다.
 - pay off : '완납'으로 지불하다 (대출금 갚을 때 많이 쓴다)
            I pay off my debts. 빚을 다 갚았다

Installment payments are common among credit card users as well.
할부결제는 신용카드 사용자들 사이에 보편적이다.

When you buy something with your credit card,
신용카드로 구매할 때,

you can decide whether to pay the amount in full or in installments.
'일시불'로 할지 '할부'로 할지 결정할 수 있다
 - whether: ~할지 말지 (=if)
 - pay the money in full : 일시불로 지불하다

You can spread out the payment over a few months.
몇 개월에 걸쳐 나눠 지불할 수 있다.
 - spread out : 나누다
 - over: ~ 걸쳐서 (보통 기간에 많이 붙여 씀)

Some people pick this payment method even for smaller purchases.
소액결제에도 이런 결제방식을 선택하기도 한다.

If you do decide to pay something in installments though,
할부 결제하기로 했다하더라도,
 - do : 여기서는 '강조'의 의미로 쓰임.

you have to pay interests for your purchase.
구매액 대한 이자를 지불해야 한다.


<Expression of the Day>
A: Are you going to pay that in full? 이거 일시불로 하실 건가요?
B: Yeah, I don't like paying in installments. 네, 할부 결제 별로 안 좋아하거든요.

A: I guess you don't like to pay interests. 이자 지불하는 걸 안좋아 하는군요.

12.17 Talk about when the fire alarm went off

There are several smoke detectors in my house.
(*smoke detector 화재감지기 , metal detector 금속탐지기)

If they detect smoke, they trigger the fire alarm.
연기가 탐지되면, 화재 경보가 작동됩니다
(* early detection 조기발견)

When the fire alarm goes off, it makes a lot of noise throughout the building.
                           울리다                                      건물 전체
(*I overslept today because my alarm didn't go off 알람이 울리지 않아서 늦잠잤다)

People are supposed to evacuate when they hear the sound.
          하기로 되어있다  대피하다          
(*You need to use the stairs in case of a fire. 화재시에는 계단을 이용해야 한다.
Most of the victims fail to evacuate in time. 대부분 희생자들이 제시간에 대피하지 못하다)

The whole purpose of these devices is to prevent the lost of lives when there's a fire.
     유일한 목적(모든목적/진정한목적)                      인명상실

There are times when the alarm's malfunction and go off for no reason though.
  그럴 때가 있다                         오작동            아무이유없이 울리기도 한다

That happened to me once.
내게도 그런 일이 일어났다. (원어민들이 자주 쓰는 표현)

I was in the shower and had to jumped out.
                                       서둘러 나오다
It turned out to be a false alarm.
  ~으로 밝혀졌다       허위경보
(*The malfunction caused the false alarm. 오작동이 허위경보로 이어졌다)

Overall smoke detectors or fire alarms play a very important role in saving people's lives.                                                 중요한 일을 수행한다

****
-I didn't get sleep much last night. 어제 제대로 못 잤어.
-The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. 한밤중에 화재경보가 울렸거든.
  (*The phone rang in the middle of the night 한밤중에 전화가 울렸다)
-Was there a real fire? 진짜 불난거야?



12.16 Talk about Elevators around you.

I live in a high rise apartment building.
              고층아파트건물
(*high rise building 고층건물)

I live on the 14th floor, so the elevator is a must.
                                                     필수조건
(*An umbrella is a must in the rainy season. 우산은 우기에 필수품이다.)

There is the main passenger elevator that can hold up to 15 people.
                                                          ~까지 수용한다
And then there is the freight elevator next to the stairway.
                            화물용 엘리베이터
It's a bit slower but it gets less crowded.

There are several elevators in my work place.

The building I work in has 4 elevators all together.

Two of them go up the upper floors and the other two go up the lower floors.

At the sports center I go to one elevator only stops on even number floors.
(*even 짝수, odd 홀수)                                            짝수층

and the other only stops on odd number floors.
                                       홀수층
** Can you tell me where the elevators are? 엘리베이터가 어디 있나요?
   They are down the hall way. 쭉 내려가면 복도 끝에 있습니다. / 복도 따라 쭉 내려가면 있어요.


12. 15 Talk about cotton swabs you use in your life
(*Q-tips: 면봉 상표이름. 면봉을 아예 이렇게 부르기도 한다)

I use cotton swabs almost every day.
       면봉
I use them to dry my ears after I take a shower.

Some people say it's better to dry our ears naturally.
                                              (*air-dry 자연적으로 말리다)
                                              (*hang-dry 널어 말리다)
(*I like to air-dry my ears 귀를 그냥 말리는게 좋다)

But I'm just used to using Q-tips right after my shower.
(be used to ~ing: ~ 하는데 익숙하다) ~직후

I also use cotton swabs when I'm doing my make up.
(*do my make up : 화장하고 있다/동작
put on ~ : 화장하고 있다/동작
wear ~ : 화장한 상태/상태
correct~: 화장을 수정하다
remove~: 화장을 지우다)

I use them when my eyeliner get smudged.
                                         번지다

I also use them when I remove my makeup.
                              =undo

Q-tips are also very useful when I apply ointment on a cut.
(wound: 큰 상처, cut: 자잘한 상처)

I buy cotton swabs in bulk.
                       묶음, 대량
(*you can get a discount if you buy things in bulk 대량으로 사면 할인받을 수 있다
you should not buy food in bulk. 음식은 대량으로 사면 안된다)

They come in large packets and they are cheaper if I buy them that way.
(*ask the clerk if they come in large packets. 대용량도 있는지 점원에게 물어봐라.)

Overall cotton swabs are used for various purposes in our lives.

 ** I'm out of cotton swabs. : 면봉이 다 떨어졌어.
Aren't there any leftovers in the box? 박스에 남은 거 없어?
why don't you pick some up on the way home tomorrow?




12.14 Talk about Band-Aids  you use in your daily life.

I carry around Band-Aids in my bag, because I get scratches and cuts quite easily.
   들고 다니다
(*He didn't even get a scratch. 털 끝하나 안 다쳤다)

Just the other day I got a paper cut while I was making some copies of a report.
                           종이에 베었다

It was little sore, so I put some ointment on it.
             쓰라렸다               연고를 발랐다

And then I put on a Band-Aid  on the cut.
               일회용밴드를 붙였다

When my friends need Band-Aid, I am always the one who give them one.

More recently, Band-Aids have been upgraded.
                                          좋아졌다

There are special types that help the cuts heal faster and help new skin grow in.
                                                  빨리 아물게 하다           새 살이 돋다
(*You shouldn't get water on the cut to help new skin grow in.
새 살이 돋게 하려면 물을 묻히면 안된다)

There are also water proof Band-Aids that come in handy.
                                                         유용하다

Plus Some Band-Aids are colorful and some have animated characters printed on them.

Kids like to use these Band-Aids.

**Clean the cut so it doesn't get infected. 감염되지 않게 소독해.
