Situation 5: Talking with a neighbor

* 여행의 큰 즐거움 중에서 빼놓을 수 없는 것이 무엇이라고 했는지 기억하시나요? 낯선 곳에서 낯선 사람과의 대화라고 했죠. Seattle에서 Mexico City로 향하는 United Airline 비행기 안에서 프랑스 Lyon에서 왔다는 금발의 아가씨와 나눈 3시간의 대화는 제게 평생 잊을 수 없는 추억으로 아직도 남아있습니다. 언어가 다른 두 사람이 비행기 안에서 나란히 앉아 제3의 언어로 서로를 이해해가는 모습은 정말 신비로운 언어의 마술 같았습니다.

A : Hi, my name is Jinsu Kim. It's a pleasure to meet you.

B : Nice to meet you, too.

A : Where are you flying to?

B : To Mexico City.

A : Are you traveling for business or pleasure?

B : I'm on a business trip. How about you?

A : I'm going to the Caribbean for pleasure.

B : Wow, I’ve only seen pictures of those stretches of sugary-white sand and turquoise waters. I bet you're really thrilled.

A : I really am. By the way, could I ask where you're from?

B : I'm from Lyon, France. Have you heard of it?

A : Sorry, I've never heard of it. Is it famous for anything?

B : It's famous for wine because Lyon is situated between three of the largest wine producing regions in France.

A : I really like wine. If I have a chance later, I'd like to visit your hometown and try every kind.

B : Well, don’t drink too much.

A : Don't worry. I really only drink a little bit for the taste.

Oh, we have to get off. How do you say 'Have a nice trip' in French?

B : Bon voyage.

A : I enjoyed talking with you. Bon voyage.

B : Bon voyage.
