Lesson 39 - Going Cross-Country

John: Have you ever gone cross-country?
Kathy: Yeah. When I was in high school, my parents rented an RV and took us on a road trip for a whole summer.
John: What states did you see?
Kathy: We went from California, all the way to Massachusetts. We even took that famous highway, Route 66.
John: Cool. So what was your favorite state?
Kathy: That’s a tough call, but I’ll have to go with Montana.
John: What was so great about it?
Kathy: Everything. I love the great outdoors and the whole state was breathtaking.
John: Did you get a taste of real clam chowder in Boston?
Kathy: Did I get a taste? I had it everyday while we were there.
John: Oh, I would die for some clam chowder right now.

[해석] “국토 횡단 하기”

John: 국토 횡단 해 본적 있어?
Kathy: 응. 고등학교 때, 부모님과 레저용 차량을 빌려서 여름 내내 여행을 했었어.
John: 어떤 주를 둘러 봤어?
Kathy: 캘리포니아에서부터 쭉 길을 따라서 메사추세츠까지. 심지어 그 유명한 고속도로인 66번 도로를 탔어.
John: 멋지다. 그럼, 네가 가장 좋아했던 주는 어디야?
Kathy: 대답하기 어렵지만, 몬타나 주를 꼽을래.
John: 뭐가 그렇게 대단했는데?
Kathy: 전부 다. 멋진 바깥 경치에, 주 전체가 숨이 막힐 정도였어.
John: 보스톤에서 대합조개 스프를 맛봤니?
Kathy: 맛 봤냐고?! 거기 있는 동안 매일 먹었어.
John: 오, 지금 대합조개 스프가 너무 너무 먹고 싶어.
