오늘의 필사

Dad says that when he was growing up, in the summer time kids played outside all day, until they got called home for dinner at night.

[picture] Squeal!

Well, that's pretty much the opposite of the way my summer went this year.

I spent July and August at Film Camp, where all I did was watch movies in an air-conditioned theater for eight hours a day.The main reason I signed up for Film Camp was because I thought it was for people who are serious about movies, like me.

 

But I found out it was really just a place where parents could dump their kids off for some cheap babysitting.

The downside of spending that much time in a dark theater is that at the end of the day it took a half hour for my eyes to adjust to the sunlight.

 

내용 요약해보기

1)한글요약

아빠는 자신이 자랄 때 여름 동안 아이들이 저녁에 집에 호출될 때까지 하루 종일 밖에서 놀았던 기억을 회상합니다. 그와 대조적으로, 나는 여름 동안 영화 캠프에서 보내며 하루에 8시간씩 에어컨이 가동되는 극장에서 영화를 보았습니다. 처음에는 캠프가 저처럼 진지한 영화 애호가들을 위한 곳이라고 생각했지만, 곧 부모들이 저렴한 보모 서비스를 위해 아이들을 맡기는 장소라는 것을 깨달았습니다. 어두운 극장에서 오랜 시간을 보낸 결과, 밖에 나갔을 때 햇빛에 적응하는 데 약 30분이 걸렸습니다.

2)영문요약

Dad reminisces about his childhood summers, where kids played outside all day until called in for dinner. In contrast, ㅡmy summer was spent at Film Camp, where I watched movies in an air-conditioned theater for eight hours a day. I initially thought the camp would attract serious movie lovers like myself, but I soon realized it was more of a place for parents to drop off their kids for inexpensive babysitting. A downside of this experience was that it took me about half an hour to adjust to the sunlight after spending so much time in a dark theater.

아빠는 자신이 자랄 때 여름 동안 아이들이 하루 종일 밖에서 놀다가 저녁에 집에 호출될 때까지 놀았다고 말합니다.

[그림] 소리 질러!

글쎄, 올해 내 여름은 그와는 거의 정반대의 상황이었어요.

나는 7월과 8월을 영화 캠프에서 보냈고, 거기서 나는 하루에 8시간씩 에어컨이 가동되는 극장에서 영화만 봤어요. 내가 영화 캠프에 등록한 주된 이유는 나처럼 영화를 진지하게 좋아하는 사람들을 위한 곳이라고 생각했기 때문이에요.

하지만 나는 그것이 사실 부모들이 저렴한 보모 서비스를 위해 아이들을 맡길 수 있는 장소일 뿐이라는 것을 알게 되었어요.

어두운 극장에서 그렇게 많은 시간을 보내는 단점은, 하루가 끝나고 나면 햇빛에 적응하는 데 30분 정도 걸린다는 것이에요.
