경제 수업은 재미있었어?
Was the economics class interesting?
응. 교수님이 새로운 경제 이론을 설명해 주셔서 흥미로웠어.
Yeah. The professor explained a new economic theory, so it was interesting.
학생들은 모두 선생님의 의견에 동의했어?
Did all the students agree with the teacher's opinion?
아니. 승규가 선생님의 의견에 대해 이론을 제기해서 좀 더 논의하기로 했어.
No. Seunggyu raised a different opinion about the teacher's view, so we decided to discuss it further.
너는 왜 기자가 되고 싶니?
Why do you want to become a journalist?
나는 다양한 분야의 사람들을 만나서 그들의 이야기를 세상에 전하고 싶어.
I want to meet people from various fields and share their stories with the world.
제 글에 무슨 문제라도 있나요?
Is there something wrong with my writing?
말이 앞뒤가 맞지 않고 논리에 어긋납니다.
The points don't connect, and it goes against logic.
권력을 가진 자가 세상을 지배하는 법이야.
Those with power always rule the world.
모든 것을 힘의 논리로만 생각하지 마.
Don't think of everything only in terms of the logic of force.
난 가만히 앉아서 생각하는 게 정말 싫어.
I really hate just sitting and thinking.
그래서 네가 논리를 못하는 거야.
That's why you can't use logic.
이 글은 전개는 좋은데 결론 부분이 약한 것 같아요.
This writing has good development, but the conclusion seems weak.
그럼 끝에 내용을 더 보충해서 마무리해야겠네요.
Then I should add more content at the end to wrap it up.
회의 끝났나 보네. 어떻게 결론이 났어?
Looks like the meeting is over. How did it conclude?
이전에 세운 계획을 모두 바꾸기로 했어요.
We decided to change all the plans we had set before.
여기에 다 담을까요?
Should I put it all in here?
너무 눌러 담으면 압력 때문에 박스가 터질 수 있으니까 조심하렴.
Be careful, because if you pack it too tightly, the pressure might burst the box.
결국 민준이가 그 동아리를 나갔어?
So Minjun ended up leaving the club?
응, 동아리를 탈퇴하라는 회장의 압력을 받았나 봐.
Yeah, it seems he was pressured by the president to quit.
사는 불길한 숫자래.
They say four is an unlucky number.
나는 그렇게 과학적 근거가 없는 말은 잘 믿지 않아.
I don't really believe in things without scientific evidence.
정말 신이 있다면 과학적으로 증명해 봐.
If God really exists, prove it scientifically.
과학적으로 증명되는 것만이 진리는 아니야.
Not everything that can be scientifically proven is the truth.
얘, 이 계산은 틀렸으니까 다시 똑바로 해 와. 소수 자리까지 하나도 틀림없이. 알았어?
Hey, this calculation is wrong, so redo it properly. Not a single mistake down to the decimal places. Got it?
네. 죄송합니다. 내일까지 다시 해 올게요.
Yes, I'm sorry. I'll redo it by tomorrow.
다수결의 원칙에서는 소수가 배제될 수 있다는 단점이 있어.
The principle of majority rule has the downside that the minority can be excluded.
맞아. 소수의 의견도 존중 받을 권리가 있어.
That's right. The minority's opinions deserve to be respected too.
음, 그러고 보니 소수에서 유일하게 짝수인 것은 2밖에 없구나?
Hmm, come to think of it, among the primes, the only even one is 2, right?
응, 그렇지. 다른 짝수들은 모두 2로 나눌 수 있잖아. 2는 유일하게 자기 자신과 1로만 나눌 수 있는 짝수야.
Yeah, that's right. All other even numbers can be divided by 2. 2 is the only even number that can only be divided by itself and 1.
외국으로 여행가면 그 나라에서 꼭 하는 것이 뭐야?
When you travel abroad, what do you always do in that country?
나는 그 나라의 박물관에 꼭 가 봐. 전시된 유물들이 그 나라의 소중한 유형의 자산 같아서 보기 좋더라고.
I always visit the museums there. The displayed artifacts seem like the country's precious tangible assets, so I enjoy seeing them.
민준 씨는 어떤 성격인가요?
What kind of personality does Minjun have?
민준이는 혼자 생각하는 걸 좋아하는 편이어서 내향적인 유형에 해당하는 것 같아요.
Minjun tends to like thinking alone, so I think he falls into the introverted type.
어제 수업 빠졌지? 내가 요약을 좀 해 봤어. 이걸 참고하면 도움이 될 거야.
You missed class yesterday, right? I did a little summary. This should help.
고마워. 네 덕분에 수업에서 뒤처지지 않겠다.
Thanks. Thanks to your help, I won't fall behind in class.

These 18 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 10 4급 words in this category — 이론, 분야, 논리, 결론, 압력 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.
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.
