The doctors said there was no need to be excited.

 

Her pupils even seemed to move, however weakly.

 

I could almost hear her saucy voice.

 

I barely had customers at the bookstore for quite some time.

 

I told Dr. Shim I'd liek to pack up the bookstore, downsize my belongings, and move to a room in a shared house.

 

, who was grilling him about his class having the lowest scores again on the last mock college exams.

 

He nodded absently.

 

The door slid open with ease. As soon as it did, spirited shouts hit my ears.

 

as she jumped in place.

 

"Yes, although there's no teacher in charge and I'm the only member."

 

As test-pep books went in and out of fashion, outdated ones didn't sell well unless they were famous.

 

Dora had been walking with her hands clasped behind her back when she whipped around.

 

Peope's eyes light up when they talk about thing they love. Dora's were radiant.

 

But her eyes were extinguished at once.

 

"I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to judge you, I just wanted to know your purpose. Your purpose for running."

 

She smiled, as if she felt good after ranting.


병원에서는 그렇게 희소식은 아니라고 했다.

The doctors said there was no need to be excited.

 

눈동자가 미세하게 움직이는 것 같기도 했다.

Her pupils even seemed to move, however weakly.

 

할멈의 괄괄환 목소리가 들리는 것 같았다.

I could almost hear her saucy voice.

saucy: rude and showing no respect, or referring to sex, especially in a humorous way:

 

책방에 손님이 끊긴지 꽤 됐다.

I barely had customers at the bookstore for quite some time.

 

I told Dr. Shim I'd liek to pack up the bookstore, downsize my belongings, and move to a room in a shared house.

심박사를 찾아가 책방을 정리하고 짐을 줄여 고시원 방으로 옮기겠다고 했다.

 

담임을 맡은 반이 계속 모의고사 꼴등인데 어떻게 할거냐고 교감이 채근(?)했다.

, who was grilling him about his class having the lowest scores again on the last mock college exams.

grill: to ask someone a lot of questions for a long time:

 

선생님은 건성으로 고개를 끄덕이며 그러라고 했다.

He nodded absently.

absently: as if you are not paying attention to what is happening near you, and are thinking about other things:

absently

 

 

문은 쉽게 열렸다. 동시에 경쾌한 기합 소리가 귀를 때렸다.

The door slid open with ease. As soon as it did, spirited shouts hit my ears.

 

제자리 뛰기를 하고 있다.

as she jumped in place.

 

있어. 담방 부서는 없고 나뿐이지만

"Yes, although there's no teacher in charge and I'm the only member."

 

참고서도 유행이 있어서 유명한 수험서가 아닌 이상 철이 지난 책들은 쉽게 팔리지 않았다.

As test-pep books went in and out of fashion, outdated ones didn't sell well unless they were famous.

도라는 뒷짐을 지고 걷다가 고개를 홱 돌렸다. *when 들어가 문장 한글 번역 싱기

Dora had been walking with her hands clasped behind her back when she whipped around.

 

좋아하는 걸 말할 때 사람들은 미소를 지으며 눈들을 빛낸다. 도라가 그랬다.

Peope's eyes light up when they talk about thing they love. Dora's were radiant.

radiant: obviously very happy, or very beautiful:

 

But her eyes were extinguished at once.

그런데 도라의 눈빛이 확 꺼졌다.

 

미안. 비난할 게 아니고 목적을 물은거야. 네가 달리려는 목적.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to judge you, I just wanted to know your purpose. Your purpose for running."

judge: to express a bad opinion of someone's behaviour, often because you think you are better than them:

 

She smiled, as if she felt good after ranting.

실컷 쏟아내고 나고 기분이 풀렸는지 도라가 방긋 웃었다.

ranting: the action of speaking, writing, or shouting in a loud, uncontrolled, or angry way, often saying confused or silly things
