Right, I'm afraid there's no easy way to say this.

자, 이걸 좋게 말씀드릴 방법이 없네요.

Oh no. That doesn't sound promising at all.

어머, 전혀 좋은 얘기 같지가 않네요.

Once we pulled the units off, we found damp behind them.

수납장을 떼어 냈더니 뒤쪽에 습기가 차 있더라고요.

And the wiring's decades out of date, frankly.

그리고 솔직히 배선도 수십 년은 낡았어요.

Hang on... how bad are we actually talking?

잠깐만요... 실제로 얼마나 심각한 건데요?

Realistically, you're looking at roughly double the original quote.

현실적으로 보면 처음 견적의 두 배 정도 나올 겁니다.

Double? You can't be serious!

두 배요? 농담하시는 거죠!

Ugh, we budgeted twelve grand, and that was already a stretch!

아, 예산을 1만 2천 파운드로 잡은 것도 빠듯했는데요!

I get it. But I won't just plaster over damp.

이해합니다. 그래도 습기 위에 그냥 회반죽만 덮을 순 없어요.

Okay, look, it'd be back within a year, and you'd blame me.

보세요, 1년도 안 돼서 다시 생길 거고, 그럼 저를 탓하실 거예요.

Well, I'm not convinced he's being entirely straight with us.

글쎄, 그 사람이 우리한테 완전히 솔직한지 잘 모르겠어.

Okay, come on, he did show us photos of the wall.

에이, 그래도 벽 사진은 보여 줬잖아.

Fair enough, but the rewiring smells like an upsell.

그건 그렇지만, 배선 교체는 끼워 팔기 냄새가 나.

Hmm, I'd rather not cut corners on electrics, though.

음, 그래도 전기는 대충 넘어가고 싶지 않아.

So what, we just hand over our savings and smile?

그래서 뭐, 우리 저축을 다 갖다 바치고 웃고 있으라고?

Okay, let's look at this calmly. What's non-negotiable?

자, 차분하게 보자. 절대 양보 못 하는 게 뭐야?

The damp, obviously. I'm not having mould behind new cupboards.

습기지, 당연히. 새 찬장 뒤에 곰팡이 피는 건 절대 안 돼.

Agreed. And safe wiring isn't a luxury, it's essential.

동의해. 그리고 안전한 배선은 사치가 아니라 필수야.

Right... so where could we actually claw some money back?

그래... 그럼 어디서 돈을 좀 아낄 수 있을까?

Well, what if we kept the old worktops for now?

음, 일단 예전 조리대를 그대로 쓰면 어때?

Oh, now that's not a bad idea at all!

오, 그거 꽤 괜찮은 생각인데!

We've had a think, and we'd like to push back a little.

생각을 좀 해 봤는데요, 조금 조정을 요청드리고 싶어요.

Would you mind if we got a second opinion on the wiring?

배선은 다른 분 의견도 한번 들어 봐도 될까요?

Not at all. I'd do exactly the same in your position.

물론이죠. 제가 그 입장이라도 똑같이 했을 거예요.

And if we keep the worktops, where does that leave us?

그럼 조리대를 그대로 두면 어떻게 되나요?

Let me see... that knocks off a good three grand.

어디 봅시다... 그러면 3천 파운드는 족히 빠지겠네요.

Really? That's more than I expected!

정말요? 생각보다 많이 빠지네요!

To be honest, I could phase the work, too.

솔직히 말씀드리면, 공사를 나눠서 진행할 수도 있어요.

Damp and wiring now, the fancy bits next spring.

습기랑 배선은 지금 하고, 멋 부리는 건 내년 봄에요.

Oh, that would certainly take the sting out of it.

오, 그러면 부담이 확실히 덜하겠네요.

Fine, as long as it's all in writing this time!

좋아요, 이번엔 전부 서면으로 해 주신다면요!

Ha, fair point. I'll email you a revised quote tonight.

하하, 맞는 말씀이에요. 오늘 밤에 수정 견적서 이메일로 보내 드릴게요.

Well, that went better than I'd feared.

와, 걱정했던 것보다 잘 풀렸네.

Hmm, still eye-watering... but at least it's honest.

음, 여전히 눈물 나게 비싸지만... 적어도 정직하긴 해.

And we get to keep our savings. Partly.

그리고 저축도 지킬 수 있잖아. 일부는.

Ha! Partly being the operative word.

하! 핵심은 '일부'라는 거지.

Fancy a takeaway? We haven't got a kitchen anyway!

배달 시켜 먹을까? 어차피 부엌도 없잖아!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
