[오늘의 생활영어] all together; 전부 합해서

Steve is talking to his co-worker John. (스티브가 직장 동료 존과 얘기하고 있다.)

Steve: How was the meeting yesterday?

스티브: 어제 회의 어땠어?

John: It was very good very informative.

존: 아주 좋았어. 새 정보도 아주 많았고.

Steve: How many people were there?

스티브: 몇 명이나 참석했어?

John: All together I'd say between fifty-five and sixty people were there.

존: 전부 합해서 55명에서 60명 정도 왔을 거야.

Steve: That's a good turn-out.

스티브: 많이 참석했네.

John: Yes it was. I didn't think so many people would be there. These meetings are usually so boring.

존: 응 많이 왔어. 그렇게 많이 올 거라고 생각 안했는데. 이런 모임은 대개 아주 지루하거든.

Steve: Did anyone talk about health benefits?

스티브: 의료보험 혜택에 대해 얘기한 사람도 있었어?

John: Yes that was covered.

존: 응 그 문제도 다뤘어.

Steve: Was anything decided on that?

스티브: 무슨 결론이 났어?

John: Yes. A committee is going to find out more information on health insurance and they'll tell us what they know at the next meeting.

존: 응. 위원회가 의료보험에 대한 정보를 더 수집해서 다음 회의 때 공지하기로 했어.
