| Lesson 57 - Secondhand Smoke Kathy: Can’t I have a decent meal without someone blowing smoke in my face? Matt: Is the smoke really bothering you? We could move to another table. Kathy: It’s too much hassle. But isn’t it time that smoking is banned in all food establishments? Matt: I remember when non-smoking sections didn’t even exist. So we have come a long way if you think about that. Kathy: If you ask me, I don’t know why they bother with non-smoking sections. Matt: What do you mean? Aren’t you grateful that they even have them? Kathy: All the smoke in the smoking areas eventually seeps into the non-smoking areas anyways. Matt: You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. Things will improve in time. Kathy: I’ll probably die from secondhand smoke before I see any drastic changes. Matt: Don’t be so dramatic. Let’s dig in. I’m starving. [해석] “간접 흡연” Kathy: 내 얼굴에 담배 연기를 내뿜는 사람이 없는 품위 있는 식사를 할 수는 없을까? Matt: 담배 연기가 그렇게 신경 쓰이니? 다른 테이블로 옮길 수도 있는데. Kathy: 너무 번거로워. 그런데 이제는 모든 음식점에서 흡연이 금지되어야 할 때 아니야? Matt: 금연석이 아예 존재하지도 않았던 때가 기억나. 그걸 생각해보면 크게 발전한 거야. Kathy: 실은, 난 사람들이 왜 금연석으로 귀찮게 일을 만드는지 모르겠어. Matt: 무슨 말이야? 저 사람들에게 흡연석이라도 있다는 게 고맙지 않아? Kathy: 어쨌든 흡연석의 연기가 결국 금연석으로 스며 들어오잖아. Matt: 두 마리 토끼를 한번에 잡을 순 없어. 때가 되면 상황이 개선될 거야. Kathy: 뭔가 과감한 변화가 있기 전에 난 아마 간접흡연으로 죽을 거야. Matt: 너무 오버하지 마. 밥 먹자. 배고파 죽겠어. < Key ｅxpressions > ■ But isn’t it time that smoking is banned in all food establishments? ■ So we have come a long way if you think about that. ■ You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. ■ I’ll probably die from secondhand smoke before I see any drastic changes. < Main dialogue > ■ Can’t I have a decent meal without someone blowing smoke in my face? * decent meal : 품위 있는 일반적인 식사 * brow smoke : 담배 연기를 내뿜다 ■ Is the smoke really bothering you?
