회장님은 요즘 뭘 하신대?
What's the chairman up to these days?
경영 일선을 떠나시고서는 청년 기업가를 키우신다고 하더라고.
After stepping away from the front lines of management, I heard they're mentoring young entrepreneurs.
여러분이 일선에 서서 우리나라를 지켜 주니 마음이 놓입니다.
I feel at ease knowing you're on the front lines protecting our country.
충성! 최선을 다하겠습니다.
Yes, sir! We'll do our best.
말씀하신 것 중에서 전자는 이해되는데 후자는 잘 이해가 안 됩니다.
Of what you said, I understand the former, but I don't quite get the latter.
둘을 비교해서 자세히 설명해 드리지요.
Let me explain the two in detail by comparing them.
이어서 하는 프로그램 뭔 줄 알아?
Do you know what's on next?
응. 드라마 할 시간이네.
Yeah, it's time for the drama.
아이가 말을 안 들어서 엄하게 꾸짖으면 더 비뚤게 나가고 나는 더 엄하게 혼내게 돼요.
When the child doesn't listen, if I scold them harshly, they act out more, and then I get even stricter.
악순환이 반복되는구나.
It's a vicious circle, isn't it?
사장님, 벌써 두 달치 공장 임대료를 내지 못하고 있어요.
Boss, we haven't been able to pay the factory rent for two months now.
잇따른 인플레이션과 불황의 악순환이 이어져 나도 어찌할 도리가 없다네.
With this vicious circle of inflation and recession, there's nothing I can do either.
이 일은 언제까지 하면 되나요?
By when should this be done?
이번 주 금요일까지 완료해서 보고하도록 해.
Complete it by this Friday and report it.
책장에 책이 키를 맞춰 가지런히 배열이 되어 있는 것을 보니 선생님 성격이 무척 꼼꼼하신 것 같군요.
Seeing the books arranged neatly on the bookshelf by height, the teacher must be very meticulous.
네, 맞아요. 사실 지나치게 꼼꼼해서 문제이지요.
Yes, that's right. Actually, being too meticulous is the problem.
컴퓨터에 이 프로그램 좀 설치해 줘.
Please install this program on my computer.
응, 이거 설치가 완료되려면 시간이 좀 걸리니까 그 사이에 커피나 마시고 오자.
Okay, it'll take a while for the installation to be completed, so let's go grab a coffee in the meantime.
시험의 종료 시간이 십 분 남았습니다. 이제 정리하고 마무리해 주세요.
There are ten minutes left until the end of the exam. Please wrap up and finish now.
헉, 문제 아직 많이 남았는데 큰일이네.
Gasp, I still have a lot of questions left. This is a big problem.
김 과장이 다음 프로젝트에도 참여해 주었으면 좋겠는데 할 수 있겠나?
I hope Manager Kim can join the next project too. Can you do it?
일단 지금 하고 있는 일을 완전히 끝맺은 뒤에 생각해 보겠습니다.
Let me think about it after I completely finish what I'm working on now.
깜빡하고 지원서를 못 접수했는데 지금 해도 되려나?
I forgot to submit my application. Do you think I can still do it now?
이미 접수는 모두 완료가 되었는데 안 받아 주겠지.
The submission period is already complete, so they probably won't accept it.
선생님, 제 보고서는 왜 낮은 점수를 받았습니까?
Teacher, why did I get a low score on my report?
네 보고서에는 사실들이 단순히 나열만 되어 있고, 네 생각이 담겨 있지 않더구나.
In your report, the facts are just listed, and there's no your own thoughts in it.

These 13 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 11 5급 words in this category — 일선, 후자, 이어서, 악순환, 완료하다 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.
