고지가 바로 눈앞에 있다. 나를 믿고 따르라!
The high ground is right ahead. Trust me and follow!
네, 주장만 따르겠습니다!
Yes, I'll follow only the captain!
주장이 팀원들의 사기를 북돋아 주는 게 참 보기 좋네.
It's nice to see the captain boosting the team's morale.
그러게. 이 기세라면 우리 팀이 이길 것 같아.
Indeed. With this momentum, I think our team will win.
내가 쓴 글 좀 봐 줄래?
Can you take a look at what I wrote?

Your writing has claims but no evidence. You need to add evidence to improve it.
매일 아침 정장 입기 힘들죠?
Isn't it hard to wear a suit every morning?
네. 이제는 복장에 대한 구속이 없는 회사에서 일하고 싶어요.
Yes. I want to work at a company that doesn't have restrictions on attire.
구속이 그렇게 느려서 시합에 나갈 수 있겠나?
Your pitch is so slow, can you even compete in the game?
지금은 어깨를 다쳐서 공을 빨리 던질 수가 없어요.
I injured my shoulder, so I can't throw the ball fast right now.
지난 대회에서는 아깝게 우승을 놓쳤지만 이번 대회에서는 꼭 우승할 거야.
I narrowly missed the championship last time, but I'll definitely win this time.
그래, 너 정도의 실력이면 충분히 우승할 수 있어.
Right, with your skill, you can definitely take the title.
저쪽 단체와는 절대 동료가 될 수 없습니다.

공동의 적이 있을 때는 경쟁자들과도 연맹을 맺을 수 있어야 하네.
When there's a common enemy, you have to be able to form a federation even with competitors.
지수야, 너 왼쪽 볼이 왜 그렇게 볼록해? 뭐 먹고 있니?
Jisu, why is your left cheek so puffy? Are you eating something?
아, 사탕을 물고 있어.
Oh, I'm sucking on a candy.
너 볼의 살이 쪽 빠졌어. 그동안 무슨 일 있었어?
Your cheeks have gotten thinner. What happened?
며칠 동안 감기를 앓아서 그런가 봐.
I guess it's because I had a cold for a few days.
이 구두 너 줄까? 나한테는 좀 큰 것 같아.
Should I give you these shoes? They seem a bit big for me.
나한테는 좀 작은 것 같아. 내 발이 볼만 좀 좁았어도 신을 수 있을 텐데.
They seem a bit small for me. If my feet were just a little narrower, I could wear them.
올림픽에서 선전을 펼쳐 준 우리 대표 팀 선수들에게 한 말씀만 해 주십시오.

I thank all the national team players for giving their best in the competition.
이번 신제품은 어떻게 선전해야 효과적일까요?
How should we publicize this new product effectively?
사람들의 감성을 자극하는 게 좋을 것 같습니다.
I think it would be good to appeal to people's emotions.
어제 경기에서 우리 팀이 굉장히 선전했다고 들었어.
I heard our team did really well in yesterday's game.
응, 초반에는 조금 뒤지다가 후반에 가서 역전승을 했어.
Yeah, we were a bit behind early on, but we came back and won in the second half.
조금 늦었는데 지금 들어갈 수 있을까요?
I'm a bit late, but can I go in now?
죄송하지만 이미 공연이 시작돼서 입장하실 수 없습니다.
I'm sorry, but the performance has already started, so you can't enter.

These 14 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 8 4급 words in this category — 주장, 구속, 우승, 연맹, 볼 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.
