심사 결과가 나오겠습니다.

The evaluation results are ready.

네, 심사 위원들의 의견을 종합하여 위원장께서 발표하시겠습니다.

Yes, after synthesizing the committee members' opinions, the chairman will announce them.

김 과장, 이번에 차장으로 임명되었다면서? 축하해.

Manager Kim, I heard you've been promoted to deputy head. Congratulations.

감사합니다, 부장님.

Thank you, department head.

버스에 차장이 없어진 지 오래된 것 같군.

It seems like it's been a long time since buses had a conductor.

그러게 말이야. 예전엔 차장이 승객들을 태웠었지.

Indeed. In the old days, the conductor used to board the passengers.

이 병원 원장은 어디 있어?

Where is the director of this hospital?

지금 수술 중이신데 무슨 일이시죠?

He is in surgery right now. What is it regarding?

선생님, 우리 유치원의 원장으로 와 주실 수 있겠습니까? 선생님의 도움이 꼭 필요합니다.

Teacher, would you be willing to come as the director of our kindergarten? We really need your help.

제가 유치원의 책임자가 되어도 괜찮을지 모르겠습니다. 한번 생각해 보겠습니다.

I'm not sure if I should take on the responsibility of being in charge of a kindergarten. Let me think about it.

무슨 일로 꽃다발을 샀어요?

Why did you buy a bouquet of flowers?

어머니께서 회사에서 상무로 승진하셔서 축하하려고 샀어요.

My mother was promoted to managing director at her company, so I bought it to congratulate her.

이 사진에 이분은 누구세요?

Who is this person in the photo?

재단 이사장이에요. 제 동생이 장학 증서를 받을 때 사진을 찍었거든요.

They're the chairman of the board. I took the picture when my younger sibling received a scholarship certificate.

이번에 팀장님이 나에게 중요한 프로젝트를 맡기셨어.

This time, the team leader entrusted me with an important project.

팀장님이 자네에 대한 신임이 두터운 모양이군.

The team leader must have a lot of confidence in you.

김 감독이 선수들과의 불화를 이유로 경질되었다고요?

I heard Coach Kim was dismissed due to conflicts with the players?

네. 신임 감독 자리에는 현재 코치로 계신 분이 앉을 거라더군요.

Yes. I heard the current coach will take over as the new appointment.

오래 다닌 회사를 그만두게 된 경위는 무엇이었나요?

What were the circumstances that led you to leave the company you'd been at for so long?

원래부터 제 적성과 맞지 않는 일이기는 했습니다.

It was work that never really suited me from the start.

네 공책도 아닌데 그렇게 펜으로 직 그어 놓으면 어떡해?

It's not your notebook, so how can you draw lines through it with a pen like that?

어머, 미안해. 내 것인 줄 착각해서 그랬어.

Oh, I'm sorry. I mistook it for mine.

왜 이번에 진급을 안 하셨어요?

Why didn't you get promoted this time?

공무원은 직위가 높을수록 빨리 퇴직해야 하니까 미루었어요.

Because the higher the position in public service, the sooner you have to retire, so I postponed it.

이번 프로젝트는 어떻게 할 계획입니까?

What's the plan for this project?

팀원들의 역량을 고려해서 몇 명에게 일을 맡길 생각입니다.

Considering the team members' capabilities, I plan to assign the work to a few of them.

지금 정식으로 의사로 일하고 있는 건가?

Are you working as a full doctor now?

아니, 지금은 대학 병원에서 인턴으로 배우고 있어.

No, I'm still learning as an intern at a university hospital.

어? 너도 이 회사 다니는구나!

Oh? You work at this company too!

아, 아직 직원은 아니에요. 인턴으로 일하고 있어요.

Ah, I'm not a regular employee yet. I'm working as an intern.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you talk about 직위 in Korean?

These 15 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 11 5급 words in this category — 위원장, 차장, 원장, 상무, 이사장 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.
