이것저것

시작은 좋았는데  < It started off really well >
~때문이었는진 모르겠지만 < I don't know if it was becase of 
~부터는 ~ 시작했어 < It wasn't until the 4th or 5th episode that I started ~

시작은 좋았어
이국적인 설정 때문이었는지 모르겠지만, 처음 몇개 에피소드들은 재밌었어.
(그전까지는 괜찮다가) 4,5 화부터는 약간 답답해지기 시작했어.
그러니까, 나 이런거 꽤 잘 참는 편인데
그런데 이야기에 보탬이 되지 않는 것들이 좀 있다고 느꼈고 오히려 좀 거슬렸어.
첫 시즌 중간쯤 가니까, 문제점들이 나한테 좀 보이더라구. 
여기 저기에서 좀 짜깁기 한거 같았어. 독창성이 없었어
첫 시즌이 끝날 때쯤 되니까 계속 봐야하는 건지 모르겠더라고

It started off really well
I don't know if it was because of its exotic setting, but the first several episodes were really interesting
It wasn't until the 4th or 5th episode that i started to get a little antsy.
I mean, I'm pretty patient when it comes to these things,
but i feel like there were some parts that didn't really add to the story, and felt more like distractions
About half way through the first season was when the cracks (really) started to show for me.
It felt like they were tracking bits and pieces from here and there.  It just lacked originality.
By the time the first season came to an end. 
I wasn't sure if I should(wanted to) keep watching

※ It wasn't unitl ~ that  관련

1. It wasn’t until 1984 that the company changed its name to Nissan.

2. It was in 1984 that the company changed its name to Nissan. (your "Polish version")

3. In 1984 the company changed it's name to Nissan.

-> All 3 sentences are correct and normal in English. They all describe the same event.

    But they say different things about that event. Sentence 3 just describes the event.

   Sentences 1 and 2 emphasize a specific thing about it

Q. So any information can be expressed this way?
     'I met my wife in 1990. = It wasn't until 1990 that I met my wife'
   I believe I emphasize the fact the I met her in 1990, not earlier, in the second sentence, right?

A. correct

Try not to take things too seriously and enjoy your youth while you have it and try to do everything you want
because you tend to have less to lose when you're young. (because the younger you are the less you have to lose)
Travel as much as you can.
You can always earn money later in life
so don't worry too much about making a lot of money (so don't try so hard to cahse money)
You're never too young to start caring for your health, so make it habit of working out regularly.
Never hold back from meeting new people.
Grow your financial literacy as soon as possible
This process can take a lot of time, be patient and get after it.

tend to + V : be likely to do something; to happen often;

later in life : 살면서 나중에

You're never too young to : ~하기에 절대 어리지 않다

get after it/them : usually used as encouragement for someone to “start doing something;” occasionally it can also include the action of physically running after someone

Small talks

<주제: 샤워>

스트리밍하기 바로전에 샤워했다. 한시간도 안된 시점에
일주일에 샤워 2번정도 한다. 자주 있지 않는 특별한 일이다
그래서 모자써서 망치지 않을겁니다

I just took a shower right before the stream
like not even an hour before the stream
I only take like two showers a week
So it's a special occurrence for me
So I'm not going to ruin it by wearing a putting on a hat

특별한날.. 내 남편과 비교해서는 꽤 자주 샤워하네요
Special day... you take a shower pretty often compared with my hubby..
에이 ~ 그럴리가요
Come on That's not true

<머리 기른지 얼마나? >

음 잘 모르겠지만 4~5 개월 정도 된거같아요
I think it's been like.. I don't know..
It feels like .. I mean... I'm not sure but it feels like it's been like 4 or 5 months

<올해결심>
몇가지 하고 싶은 것들이 있지만, 올해 안에 할 필요는 없어요
내가 항상 하려고 하는 것과 거의 같은 것들이에요

There are things that I would like to do, but not necessarily within this year
It's just pretty much the same thing that i always try to do

<영어 공부>
오늘 함께해서 정말 좋네요
싱가폴에서 오는 VIP와 중요한 미팅이 있는데, 오랫동안 (영어) 연습을 못했어요.
오늘밤 목소리한번 내볼게요

It's really good to have you here today
I have an important meeting with VIP from singapore, and haven't practiced for a long time,
let me speak out tonight

제가 항상 말하듯이, 연습하는 좋은 방법은 .. 특히 특정 상황에서 영어를 사용하는 것을 준비할 때... 
당신이 말하려고 생각하는 것들로 리스트를 만드세요
질문이 될수도 있고, 설명해야 하는 것들일 수 도 있어요. 그것들의 리스트를 만드세요
한국어로 먼저 써보고 그리고 그것들을 전부 영어로 바꿔보세요 그리고 스크립트 처럼 사용해보세요
(약간) 당신이 인터뷰 준비할 때 하는 것 처럼요
그게 우리가 인터뷰 준비하는 방법 아닌가요?
논의 됐으면 하는 것들로 리스트를 만들잖아요. 
배우가 스크립트 준비하는 것처럼요

As i always say, a good way to practice especailly when you're preparing...uh... to use english in a specific kind of setting... make a list of things that you think you might talk about..
it could be questions or things that you have to expalin... make a list of it 
write it out in Korean first and then try transferring that all into English and then you use that kind of like a script 
you know kind of like how you prepare for an interview
Isn't that how we preapre for interview?
we make a list of things that you know that are likely to be discussed
you know like an actor preparing a scirpt 

<노래 좋네요>
모르겠네요. 웹사이트에서 찾았어요. 제가 클래식 음악을 좋아해서 좋다고 생각햇어요
제가 사실 클래식 음악을 아주 좋아하거든요
많이 들어요. 좋다고 생각해서 play list 에 추가했어요. 그래서 있네요.
I don't know. I just found it on the website and i thought it was nice because i like classical music 
I love actually love classical music.
I listen to it a lot and i thought it was nice, so I just threw it in my playlist so it's there

그거야 자기 취향에 전적으로 달린거죠
That totally depends on your taste

<Copyright>
내가 알기로는 저작권은 작곡가의 수명에 70년을 더한 거에요
내가 이해하기로는 그래요.

From what i understand, copyright is for the duration of the composer's life plus 70 years
That's the way I understand it

<영화>
마션? 멧데이먼 나오는 거?

Martian ? Is that the one with Matt Damon

<샤워 시간>
샤워해야 하는데.. 계속 들어야되네요.

I need to take a shower. But I'm keep listening

샤워 10분이면 끝나죠. 8분 30초 정도 남았네요. (그러면) 샤워 할 수 있죠.
저는 5분이면 샤워 해요
정말요? 저는 3초면 옷 벗을 수 있어요

You can take a shower in 10 minutes
We have about eight and a half minutes 
You could take a shower
It only takes me like five minutes to take a shower
Really? like me,,, I can strip in three seconds 

5분이면 충분하쥬

It's five minutes enough time

그래요 5분이면 완전 충분한 시간이죠.. 아 잠깐 여자면 얘기가 다르지..
여자는 보통 좀 더 오래 걸릴 거 같아요
남자는, 나는 5분 미만이라고 봐

Yeah five minutes is totally enough to take a shower i think
Oh wait.. Unless you're a girl
I guess take the showers usually take a little longer for a woman
For men, I say, no longer thatn 5 minutes

<기타>

I'm still not used to it myself
So i don't blame you (for felling awkward)

I'm not the right person to be give you advice about ~

# 1. 후회, 어차피, 게다가

*사오다: buy / get / pick up / bring

Oh, shoot, I only got three

I should've picked up another one.    (후회를 나타내는 표현)

I didn't know(think) you would be there (too)    (know - 정보, think - 내 판단 / too 가 추가되면 너'도' 여기 있을 줄 몰랐다)

No, it's OK

I was about to leave anyway. (was about to 는 "이제 막" 좀 더 절묘한 타이밍에 대한 표현)

(I was going to leave anyway)

Besides, I'm trying to cut down on caffeine these days.

So, you guys go ahead

#2. 현재로서는 이게 최선

차를 사려고 알아보고 있는 중이에요

개인적으로는 SUV 처럼 큰 차를 좋아하지만, 지금은 그건 좀 어려울 것 같아요

중고시장을 알아보는 방법도 있지만 그럴 경우 결함이 있는 것을 사게 될 위험이 있어요

제가 차를 잘 몰라서요

그래서 현재로서 가장 좋은 것은 새 경차를 사는 거에요

작긴하겠지만 그래도 새거일테니까요

I'm looking to buy a car. 

Personally, I prefer bigger cars like SUVs but I just can't swing it right now.

I could look into the second hand market. But then I would have to risk getting a faulty one

because I don't really know cars. 

So, at the moment, I think my best option is to get a new subcompact car.

It'll be small but at least it'll be new

be looking to (do - sth) : 무엇을 하기위해서 알아보고 있는 중이다\

(e.g)

Do you know anyone who is looking to buy a car ?

I can't swing it : I can't afford it 보다 조금더 casual 한 표현 (~할 여유가 없어)

I could do somghing : 내가 원하기만 하면 (마음만 먹으면 그렇게 할 수 있다)

but then : 그랬을 경우에는

I would have to risk doing something : ~할 위험을 감수해야 한다

At the moment, I think my best option is ~ : 현재로서는 최선은 

저는 제 강아지들 때문에 길게 여행다녀오는게 쉽지 않아요.

그들을 대신 돌봐줄 수 있는 사람이 주변에 없거든요

펫 호텔에 묵게 하는 방법도 있긴 하지만, 그러면 그들을 모르는 사람한테 맡겨 놓고 나만 놀러가는게 불안할 것 같아요

그래서 더 좋은 방법을 찾을 때까지는 강아지들을 데리고 짧게 여행을 다녀오는 수 밖에 없어요

It's not easy for me to go on long trips becase of my dogs.

I don't know anyone who can look after them for me.

I could have them stay at a pet boarding facility but then I wouldn't feel safe about leaving them behind with a stranger while I'm out having fun.

So, until I can find a better way, I can only go on short trips and take my dogs with me.

could : 마음만 먹으면 그렇게 할 수 있지만

would : ~ 할 것 같다 

leave them behind with a stranger 

I can only do somthing : ~ 할 수 밖에 없다

#3 It could be 표현 

3-1 ~ 일 수도 있다

네 말이 맞을 수도 있겠다

You could be right about that 

You could be right

내 말이 틀릴 수도 있어

I could be wrong

I could be wrong about that

3-2 It could be that + (full sentence 사실일 수도 있는 내용)

Example1)

Of course, she might(could) just be tired 

-> It could be that she's just tired

Example2)

I don't know what's wrong with my cat

She's just been lying around all day not doing much

So I'm thinking of taking her to the vet later today

It could be that she's just tired, but I don't know

I don't want to take any risks (chances)

※ 조동사 + have + pp 표현의 절반 가까이를 It could be that + full sentence 로 표현 가능

Example3)

그 사람이 까먹었을 수도 있으니까 네가 연락을 해봐

He might(could) have just forgotten. So just call him

연락해봐 그사람이 까먹었을 수도 있느니까

Call him because he could've (might've) just forgotten

-> Call him. It could be that he just forgot

Example4)

걔가 그냥 겁이 났던 것일 수도 있어

He might've(could've) just been afraid (scared)

He might've(could've) just gotten scared

-> It could be that he was just scared

-> It could be that he was just nervous

※ (주의) It could be that + full sentence 로 대체 안되는 예 (가정법 표현)

단순히 상황에 대해 해석을 하면서 추측하는 것이 아니고, 가정을 하는 상황이므로

If I had studied harder when I was a student, I could've gotten a better job

#4 (최근의 변화를 인지하고 있는 상황에서) 안부 묻기

4-1 (상대방이 힘든 시간이 겪고 있는 것을 알고 있을 때, 걱정하는 뉘앙스)  요즘 좀 어때?

How are you holding up ?

4-2 (이사, 이직, 이민처럼 새로운 환경에서 적응하고 있는 사람에게 하는 안부 묻기)

How are you settling in?

4-3 (최근에 어떤 물건을 사서 쓰고 있다거나, 어떤 서비스를 이용하기 시작한 사람에게 묻는 안부)

(차를 샀다거나, 새로운 보모를 이용하고 있다거나, 의사를 바꿨다거나, 치료법을 바꿨다거나)

How is your new car working out for you?

How is the (your) new nanny working our for you?

How is the (your) new doctor working out for you?

How is the therapy working out for you?

4-4 (상대방과 최근에 사이가 안좋았던 제3자와 관계 회복에 대해 묻는 안부)

How are things with your wife (daughter) ?
