엄마, 왜 대구에서 나는 사과가 제일 맛있다고들 해요?
Mom, why do people say apples from Daegu are the best?
응, 대구는 분지라서 따뜻하고 비가 적게 와. 그래서 사과가 달고 맛있지.
Well, Daegu is a basin, so it's warm and gets little rain. That's why the apples are sweet and tasty.
민준아, 우리나라 지도에서 초록색으로 된 부분은 무엇이야?
Minjun, what is the green part on the map of our country?
응, 초록색은 나무와 숲이 있는 삼림 지대야.
Well, the green is the forest area with trees and woods.
동산에 올라서 보니 마을이 한눈에 내려다보이네요.
Once we get up on the knoll, we can see the whole village at a glance.
네, 마을이 워낙 작아요.
Yes, the village is really small.
휴가 잘 보냈어?
Did you have a good vacation?
응. 가족들과 동산에 가서 꽃을 구경하면서 바람을 쐬었어요.
Yeah. I went to a knoll with my family, looked at the flowers, and got some fresh air.
내가 건물은 하나 있으니까 이번에는 동산을 좀 모으려고 하는데 말이야.
I already have a building, so this time I'm thinking of collecting some knolls.
요새 주가 흐름도 괜찮으니까 주식에 투자해 보는 건 어때요?
The stock market trend is pretty good these days, so how about investing in stocks?
야, 여기 정말 경치가 좋다! 바다를 보면서 달릴 수 있다니!
Hey, the view here is really nice! We can run while looking at the sea!
해안선을 따라 도로가 이어져 있어서 드라이브를 하기에 아주 좋지.
The road runs along the shoreline, so it's great for a drive.
어느새 바닷물이 다 빠졌네!
The seawater has all receded already!
아까까지는 바다였던 곳이 이렇게 광활한 갯벌이 되다니, 신기하지?
It's amazing that a place that was sea until just now has become such a vast tidal flat, isn't it?
이 늪에는 희귀한 식물들이 많이 살고 있다면서요?
I heard that many rare plants live in this swamp.
네, 그래서 국가에서 환경 보호를 위해 꾸준히 관리하고 있답니다.
Yes, that's why the government manages it steadily for environmental protection.
그 부인은 집이 망했는데도 아직도 사치를 하고 다닌다더라.
I heard that woman still lives luxuriously even though her family went bankrupt.
사치의 늪에서 헤어나기는 좀처럼 쉽지 않죠.
It's not easy to get out of the swamp of extravagance.
이 마을에는 왜 곳곳에 땅굴이 있죠?
Why are there underground tunnels all over this village?
농산물을 오랫동안 저장하기 위해서 주민들이 직접 파기 시작했다고 들었어요.
I heard the residents started digging them themselves to store their crops for a long time.
얘들아, 풀밭에서 공을 차며 신나게 놀았으니 이제 집에 가자.
Kids, you've had fun playing ball on the grass field, so let's go home now.
엄마, 조금만 더 놀다 가면 안 될까요?
Mom, can't we play a little longer?
해가 지평선 위로 솟아올랐어요.
The sun is rising above the horizon.
맞아. 순식간에 떠오르더니 환해졌네.
Right. It came up in an instant and now it's bright.
한낮에는 지표면이 뜨거우니 외출을 자제해 주세요.
Please refrain from going outside during the day as the ground surface gets hot.
네, 건물 안에 있어야겠어요.
Okay, I'll stay inside the building.
염전이 꽤 넓네.
The salt field is quite wide.
여기는 원래 바다였는데 둑을 쌓아서 간척지를 만든 거래.
This used to be the sea, but they built a dike and made reclaimed land.
산에 오르기가 힘이 들어요.
Climbing the mountain is hard.
조금만 가면 능선을 타게 되는데 그러면 조금 나아질 거야.
Once we get to the ridge, it'll be a bit easier.
홍수 때문에 피해가 이만저만이 아니라고 들었소.
I heard the flood damage is no joke.
네, 특히 저지의 논밭은 더욱 큰 피해를 입었습니다.
Yes, the fields in the lowlands especially suffered much greater damage.
레스토랑 입구에서 경비원의 저지를 당해서 들어갈 수가 없었어.
I couldn't get into the restaurant because the security guard blocked me at the entrance.
후줄근한 옷차림을 하고 있으니까 그렇지.
That's what happens when you're dressed so shabbily.
우리 동네는 섬진강 하구에 위치해서 철마다 날아오는 물새들을 볼 수 있어.
Our town is located at the estuary of the Seomjin River, so we can see migratory birds every season.
정말 멋지겠다. 사진 있니?
That sounds really cool. Do you have any pictures?
왜 그렇게 흠뻑 젖었어?
Why are you so soaked?
오는 길에 발을 헛디뎌 도랑에 빠졌지 뭐야.
I slipped on the way here and fell into a ditch.
여기가 서해 끝의 갯가 마을이구나.
So this is a village by the shore at the end of the West Sea.
응, 이곳 주민들에게는 바다가 삶의 터전이야.
Yeah, for the residents here, the sea is their livelihood.
두 마을의 경계가 어떻게 나눠지나요?
How is the boundary between the two villages divided?
마을 사이에 있는 산천으로 두 마을이 구분됩니다.
The two villages are separated by the mountains and rivers between them.
고향이 그리우세요?
Do you miss your hometown?
네, 어릴 때 뛰어놀던 고향 산천이 보고 싶군요.
Yes, I long to see the hills and streams of my hometown where I used to run and play as a child.
이 건물을 돌아가려면 한참 걸리겠는데?
Going around this building would take a while, wouldn't it?
이 두 고층 건물 샛길로 지나가면 빨리 정류장에 갈 수 있어.
If you go through the alley between these two high-rise buildings, you can get to the bus stop quickly.
우리 늦지 않을까?
Are we going to be late?
아니야. 이쪽 샛길로 가면 금방 도착할 거야.
No. If we take this side road, we'll get there in no time.
이 마을에 사시는 분들은 장을 보려면 어디로 가시나요?
Where do people living in this village go to do their shopping?
저기 보이는 야산을 넘으면 시장이 있어요.
If you go over that hill you see there, there's a market.
아이고, 힘들다. 우리 조금만 쉬었다 가자.
Oh, I'm so tired. Let's rest a bit before going.
저기 보이는 재 하나만 넘으면 되는걸. 그냥 빨리 가자.
We just need to get over that pass you see there. Let's just hurry.
날씨가 더운데 시원한 곳 없을까?
It's hot—anywhere cool to go?
그럼 강가에 가서 강바람을 맞으며 좀 걸을래?
How about we go to the riverside and walk in the river breeze?
이번에는 어디로 여행을 다녀왔어?
Where did you go on your trip this time?
서해 바다에 갔었는데 개펄에서 꼬막도 캐고 아주 신나게 놀았어.
I went to the West Sea, and I had a blast digging for cockles on the mudflat.
절벽 위에 고립됐을 때 심정이 어떠셨나요?
How did you feel when you were stranded on the cliff?
낭떠러지를 아래를 내려다보는 것만으로도 다리가 부들부들 떨릴 정도였지요.
Just looking down at the cliff made my legs tremble.
마감 기한이 코앞인데 원고는 아직 시작도 못했고 독촉 연락은 매일 오고 있어.
The deadline is right around the corner, I haven't even started the manuscript, and I get nagging calls every day.
낭떨어지에 몰리는 기분이겠는데.
You must feel like you're backed against a cliff.
아프리카 여행을 다녀왔다며?
You went on a trip to Africa, didn't you?
응. 끝없이 펼쳐진 대자연에 감동했어.
Yeah. I was moved by the endless nature.
엄마, 저기 들녘에 사람이 움직이지 않고 서 있어요.
Mom, there's a person standing still in the field over there.
저건 사람이 아니고 들녘에 서서 참새를 쫓는 허수아비란다.
That's not a person; it's a scarecrow standing in the field to chase away sparrows.
지금까지 바닷가에서 놀다 온 거니?
Have you been playing at the beach until now?
네. 모래사장에서 모래성을 쌓고 있었어요.
Yes. We were building sandcastles on the beach.
아빠, 우리 저기 산봉우리까지 올라가 봐요.
Dad, let's climb up to that mountain peak over there.
꽤 높은데 할 수 있겠니?
It's quite high, can you do it?
금강산은 어떤 곳입니까?
What kind of place is Mount Geumgang?
산수의 풍경이 그림같이 아름다운 곳이지.
It's a place where the scenery of the mountains and waters is as beautiful as a painting.
너무 힘들어서 정상까지 못 올라가겠어.
I'm too tired to make it to the top.
그럼 저기 산 중턱까지만 가자.
Then let's just go to the midslope of the mountain.
올해도 벌써 중턱에 들었네?
We're already past the middle of the year?
이러다가 곧 연말이겠어.
Before we know it, it'll be the end of the year.
이곳엔 침엽수림이 무성하군요.
The coniferous forest here is so lush.
네, 여기가 겨울에 몹시 춥고 눈도 많은 지역이거든요.
Yes, this area gets very cold in winter and has a lot of snow.
할아버지, 이런 황야에 나무를 뭐하러 심으십니까?
Grandfather, why are you planting trees in this wilderness?
이렇게 심다 보면 언젠가는 비옥한 땅으로 바뀌지 않겠소.
If we keep planting, one day it will turn into fertile land.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions
How do you talk about 지형 in Korean?
These 47 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 38 ungraded words in this category — 꽃밭, 분지, 삼림, 동산, 해안선 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.
