여보, 문 좀 열어줄래? 택배 기사가 왔어.

Honey, Can you get the door? It's a delivery man. 

-> get the door = open the door = answer the door

    ex) Someone's at the door. I'm busy. Can you get the door, please?

    ex) The door bell rang. Can you get it? 

알았어~

Okay.

우와 많이 샀네. 뭘 산거야?

Wow, you bought a lot. What did you buy?

베이킹 파우더랑 구연산 또 몇 가지 더~

Baking powder, citric acid and some other stuff.

뭐에 쓰려고?

What for?

세제로 쓸거야.

I'm gonna use them as detergents.

11.28

보통 쓰는 세제들은 화학성분이 가득하잖아. 그 안에 뭐가 들어 있는지 우리가 어떻게 알아.

Typical detergents are full of chemicals. You/We never know what's in them.

= Nobody knows what's in them.

= You don't know what's in them/what they're made of.

= You can't trust them. cf) Can I trust this? 

-> normal detergents(X) ↔ abnormal 비정상 이기 때문에 아니다.

그렇지, 그래서 친환경세제를 쓰려고 하는거구나.

I see, so you want to use eco-friendly detergents.

응. 이 가루들은 안전하거든.

Yes, these powders are safe.

cf) solid 고체, liquid 액체

이번엔 내가 욕실청소할 차례지, 맞지? 이거 어떻게 하는지 가르쳐줘.

It's my turn to clean the bathroom, right? Show me how to use them.

= It's time to trade chores.

= I got the bathroom this time, right? '이번에 욕실 내가 쓸게/이번에 욕실은 내가 맡을게'와 같이 해석할 수 있다. 앞 문장에 따라 해석이 달라진다.

cf) take turns -ing 교대로 하다. ex) Let's take turns driving.

엄마, 종이컵 어디 있어요?

Mom, where are paper cups?

우리 종이컵 다 떨어졌어.

We ran out of paper cups.

cf) toilet paper 두루마리

    toilet tissue 티슈

cf) run out of = run low on 

    ex) We are running out of gas. 

         We are running low on gas. 

         기름이 다 떨어져간다.

이제부터는 종이컵 말고 유리컵을 써.

From now on, use glasses instead of paper cups.

왜요? 저 설거지 하기 싫은데요.

Why, I don't like to wash (the) dishes.

얘아. 우리는 환경을 지켜야해.

Come on, Sweetie. We should preserve our environment. 

비닐봉지나 종이컵은 환경을 오염시킨단 말이야.

Plastic bags and paper cups pollute the environment.

= pollute = hurt = make more garbage = create waste

11.30

여보, 내가 음식물 쓰레기 버릴게.

Honey, I'll throw away the food waste.

응. 고마워. 여기.

Thanks. Here it is.

이게 다야? 평소보다 훨씬 적네.

This is all? It's much less than usual.

cf) It's a little less than usual.

음식물쓰레기양을 줄이려고 하고 있어.

I'm trying to cut down on food waste.

= food garbage 쓰레기 형태가 되어버린 것

= cut down on = reduce

= I'm trying to waste less food.

= I'm trying to cut down on food garbage.

좋은 생각이다. 나도 좀 더 자주 집에서 저녁을 먹도록 할게.

Sounds good. I will try to have dinner at home more often.

최소한 집에서 저녁을 먹을지 안먹을지는 알려줘.

At least, let me know if you are having dinner at home or not.

= Let me know when you are not coming (home) for dinner.

12.1

여보 나왔어.

Honey, I'm home (from work).

뭘 보고있는거야?

What are you looking at?

음식물 쓰레기 처리기를 보고 있어.우리 하나 살까? 

I'm checking out a garbage disposal. Why don't we get/buy one?

-> I'm checking out ~를 보고 있다.

= How about getting one?

= What do you think about getting one?

cf) I'm comparing garbage disposals.

돈 낭비지. 음식물 쓰레기야 우리가 버리면 되지모.

That's a waste of money. We can just throw away food scraps ourselves..

-> frugal/thrifty 검소한, 절약하는

지금은 괜찮은데 여름에는 하나 필요할 수 있어.

That's okay for now, but we may need one for the summer.
