Lesson 55 - Latest Cell Phone

Kathy: Is that your latest gadget, Inspector Gadget? Looks pretty snazzy. But what is it?
John: It’s a cell phone and much more. It’s hot off the market and top of the line from KM.
Kathy: Looks so bulky, almost like a portable TV.
John: That’s the beauty of it. It’s a multi-functional, everything in one cell phone.
Kathy: Don’t tell me. You have access to TV.
John: And much more. I can also download music from the Internet, kind of like a mini MP3 player.
Kathy: Is that all? I’m sure there’s more to it than that.
John: Of course. It’s also a digi cam! It’s more than I could ever ask for.
Kathy: Looks like you’re over the moon over this one. But I bet you this will soon pass. They’ll come up with something better.
John: And I’ll be right there to buy it.

[해석] “최신 휴대폰”
Kathy: 저게 너의 최신 기계야, 가젯 형사님? 아주 멋져 보이는 걸. 그런데 이게 뭐야?
John: 핸드폰 그 이상이야. 시장에 막 출시된 최고의 KM 제품이야.
Kathy: 휴대용 TV처럼 아주 부피가 커 보이는데.
John: 그게 바로 장점이야. 모든 게 하나의 휴대폰 안에 있는, 다기능이지.
Kathy: 말 안 해도 알아. TV도 접속할 수 있네.
John: 그 이상이야. 미니 MP3 플레이어처럼 인터넷으로부터 음악을 다운로드 받을 수도
있어.
Kathy: 그게 다야? 그것보다 뭔가 더 있겠지.
John: 물론이지. 디지털 카메라도 돼. 내가 원하던 것 그 이상이라고.
Kathy: 너 이것 때문에 아주 행복해 보이네. 하지만 내가 장담하는데 이런 기분 곧 사라질 거야. 더 좋은 게 나올 테니까.
John: 그러면 바로 사면 되지.
