Driving to the ski field

Ivy: Look out the window, there has been a fresh snowfall overnight!
Ivy: 창 밖을 보세요, 밤새 새로 폭설이 내렸어요!

Joe: Oh, the slopes are going to be pumping today, we should head off right away!
Joe: 오, 오늘은 스키장이 사람들로 붐비겠어요, 지금 당장 가는게 좋겠어요!

Ivy: Don’t forget to pack the chains; the road is bound to be icy.
Ivy: 체인 다는 것을 잊지 말아요, 길이 얼었을 거에요.

Joe: Let’s go. I can’t wait to hit the slopes. It’s going to be a great day!
Joe: 갑시다, 스키장 가는 것을 더 못기다리겠어요, 굉장한 하루가 될거에요!

Ivy: Which ski field shall we go to, Whakapapa or Turoa?
Ivy: 어느 스키장으로 갈건가요, 와카파파인가요 아니면 투로아?

Joe: Let’s go to Turoa since its closer, and it won’t be as crowded.
Joe: 가까운 투로아로 가죠, 거긴 붐비지 않을 거에요.

Ivy: Please drive carefully Joe, it’s really slippery! You need to slow right down when the conditions are like this.
Ivy: 운전 조심해요 조이, 길이 정말 미끄러워요. 이런 상황일땐 속도를 낮출 필요가 있어요.

Joe: Yes, you’re right. Better to be safe than sorry.
Joe: 그래요, 당신이 옳아요. 당연하죠.

Ivy: I think we should stop and put the chains on now. It’s only going to get worse from here on in.
Ivy: 내 생각엔 지금 차를 세우고 체인을 다는 게 좋겠어요. 여기부터는 더 안좋아질거에요.

Joe: Look over there! There’s the cabin that we stayed at last year, with that Swiss couple. They were such a hoot!
Joe: 저길 봐요! 우리가 작년에 스위스 커플이랑 묵었던 오두막이에요! 그들은 정말 유쾌한 사람들이었죠!

Ivy: Yes, pity about the blizzard though, we had to spend most of the holiday indoors.
Ivy: 맞아요, 안타깝게도 눈보라가 와서 우린 휴일 대부분을 실내에서 보내야했지만요.

Joe: Oh well, it looks as if we’ll be able to make up for it this time!
Joe: 음, 이번에는 그걸 만회할 수 있을것 같아보이네요!
