자, 이제 네가 무대 위로 등장할 차례야.

Okay, now it's your turn to appear on stage.

가슴이 두근거려.

My heart is pounding.

인터넷이 등장한 이후로 사람들 간의 관계가 점점 멀어지는 것 같아.

Ever since the internet appeared, it seems like relationships between people are getting more distant.

난 오히려 인터넷 때문에 멀리 떨어진 사람들과 소통할 수 있어서 인터넷이 도움이 된다고 생각해.

I actually think the internet helps because I can communicate with people far away thanks to it.

이번에 새로 영화 찍었다며?

I heard you made a new movie this time?

그럼. 이번 영화에는 내가 무려 열 장면이나 등장해. 기대하라고.

That's right. In this movie, I appear in as many as ten scenes. Get ready for it.

이 회사는 자체 개발한 운영 체제를 사용하면서 독자 노선을 걸어왔지만 최근에 다른 회사와 협력하려는 움직임이 있다는군.

I hear this company has followed its own path using its self-developed operating system, but recently it's been moving toward cooperating with another company.

그렇다면 앞으로 계속 지켜봐야겠는걸.

If so, we'll have to keep watching.

왜 우리 회사가 경쟁사에 자꾸 뒤처진다고 생각하나?

Why do you think our company keeps falling behind the competitors?

아무래도 우리 회사만의 독자 기술이 없기 때문으로 보입니다.

It seems to be because we don't have our own proprietary technology.

김 작가님, 글을 잘 쓰는 비결이 무엇입니까?

Author Kim, what's your secret to writing well?

글쎄요, 독자들에게 감동을 주기 위해 노력하는 것 말고는 다른 것은 없습니다.

Well, there's nothing special—just trying to move the readers.

너는 박지수의 팬이니까 이번 뮤지컬도 보러 갈 거지?

Since you're a fan of Park Jisu, you're going to see this musical too, right?

그럼. 나는 박지수가 출연한 작품은 전부 보았는걸.

Of course. I've seen every work that Park Jisu has appeared in.

내가 즐겨 보던 프로그램이 폐지가 될 예정이래.

I heard the show I used to enjoy is going to be abolished.

그래? 아쉽겠다.

Really? That's a shame.

휴대폰 화면에 자꾸 지문이 남아서 지저분해져.

My phone screen keeps getting all smudged with fingerprints.

지문 방지 필름을 붙이면 괜찮을 거야.

You should put an anti-fingerprint film on it.

어? 이상하네. 왜 사진이 안 찍히지?

Huh? That's weird. Why won't the picture take?

사진기에 필름을 제대로 안 넣은 거 아냐?

Didn't you put the film in the camera properly?

영화를 아직 상영 안 하나 봐?

I guess the movie isn't showing yet?

그러게, 아직 필름을 안 돌리나 보네.

Yeah, looks like they haven't started the film yet.

수강 신청한 과목이 왜 폐지된 거지?

Why was the course I registered for abolished?

수강 인원이 모자라서 과목 자체가 없어졌다고 하더라.

I heard the course itself was removed because there weren't enough students enrolled.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you talk about 대중 문화 in Korean?

These 13 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 7 4급 words in this category — 등장하다, 독자, 출연하다, 폐지, 필름 and the rest. Each is two turns, so what you see is not only how the word is used but what it is usually said in answer to.

Are these dialogues natural Korean?

They are written examples rather than transcribed speech, so they are tidier than a real conversation and shorter. What they are not is translated English: they were written in Korean, by Korean lexicographers, to show how the word behaves — which is why the speech levels and the sentence endings in them are worth copying.
