John: You seem pretty preoccupied. Kathy: Mother’s Day is just around the corner. I was hoping to buy something for her from the Internet. John: Why don’t you stop by the mall? I’m always wary of shopping online. Kathy: Why? It cuts down on so much time and fuss. Plus you get great deals on the net. John: Can’t argue with you there, but don’t you worry about all the phishing that’s going on? Kathy: Well, not really. I think I’m in good hands with the larger shopping malls. John: Identity theft is seriously on the rise these days. Kathy: I’m willing to take the risk. Having to shop in the comfort of my home is such a great convenience. John: Don’t say I didn’t warn you. So have you found something for your mom? Kathy: I was thinking of getting her a nice sweater and bouquet of flowers. John: What mother doesn’t like flowers? Which reminds me, I should send some to my mother. Kathy: You’d better act fast. You don’t have much time.
[해석] “개인정보사냥”
John: 골똘히 정신이 팔린 것 같네. Kathy: 어머니 날이 가까이 왔잖아. 인터넷으로 엄마에게 드릴 뭔가를 사려고. John: 쇼핑몰에 가보지 그러니? 난 항상 온라인 쇼핑을 하는 게 조심스러워. Kathy: 왜? 많은 시간과 불편함을 줄일 수 있어. 게다가 인터넷으로 알짜 거래를 할 수 있어. John: 네 말이 틀리진 않지만, 넌 현재 벌어지는 인터넷 금융사기가 걱정되지 않아? Kathy: 글쎄, 꼭 그렇지는 않아. 난 큰 쇼핑몰을 상대로 거래 하니까 안전하다고 생각해. John: 신원정보 도둑은 요즘 심각하게 증가하고 있어. Kathy: 난 기꺼이 위험을 감수할 거야. 집에서 편안하게 쇼핑하는 것은 매우 편리하거든. John: 내가 너한테 경고 안 했다고 하지 마. 그래, 어머니께 드릴 뭔가를 찾았어? Kathy: 멋진 스웨터와 꽃다발을 사드릴까 생각했었어. John: 어느 어머니가 꽃을 싫어하겠니? 그래서 말인데, 우리 어머니에게도 선물을 보내 야겠어. Kathy: 서두르는 게 좋을 거야. 시간이 많지 않아.
