오늘의 생활영어
Steve: How was the meeting yesterday?
스티브: 어제 회의 어땠어?
John: It was very good very informative.
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.
