Sudden changes


Thomas: 안녕 Jack!

Thomas: Hi Jack!
Jack: 안녕 Thomas! 어떻게 지내?

Jack: Hi Thomas! How is it going?
Thomas: 잘 지내. 너는? 헬스클럽에서 이제 안 보이더라. 보디 빌딩 아직도 해?

Thomas: Good. And you? Haven't seen you at the gym anymore. Are you still doing bodybuilding?
Jack: 아니 그만 뒀어. 요즘에 시간이 없었어.

Jack: No I stopped. I haven't had much time lately.
Thomas: 정말이야? 아니면 그냥 게을러서 그런거야?

Thomas: Really? Or maybe just lazy?
Jack: 아니, 나 진짜 바빠 승진하고 나서.

Jack: No, I'm just really busy since I've been promoted.
Thomas: 그렇구나. 그런데 운동 갑자기 그만두면 심장에 심각한 문제 생길 수 있는 거 알지?

Thomas: I see. But you do know that you can get serious heart problems if you suddenly stop exercising?
Jack: 알아. 그래서 집에서 운동하려고 아령 사놨어.

Jack: Yes I know. That's why I bought some dumbbells so I can train at home.
Thomas: 그래. 몸은 갑작스러운 변화에 잘 적응을 못 해.

Thomas: Good. The body doesn't cope well with sudden changes.
Jack: 응, 알코올이랑도 그렇지. 우리 삼촌이 알코올중독이었는데 어느 날 갑자기 술을 끊었어. 숙모가 안 그럼 이혼하겠다고 해서.

Jack: Yes, it's the same with alcohol. My uncle Eric was a bit of an alcoholic. One day he suddenly decided to completely stop drinking, because his wife threatened to divorce him.
Thomas: 그래서 어떻게 되셨어?

Thomas: And what happened?
Jack: 갑작스러운 금단에 몸에 쇼크가 와서 병원에서 거의 돌아가실 뻔 하셨어.

Jack: His body went into shock from the sudden withdrawal. He almost died in the hospital.
Thomas: 와, 진짜?

Thomas: Wow, really?
Jack: 응. 그래도 이제 술 안 드셔.

Jack: Yes. But he's sober now.
Thomas: 그렇구나. 나 이제 가봐야 돼. 그나저나 승진 축하해!

Thomas: Good to know. Anyway got to go now. And congratulations for your promotion!
Jack: 고마워. 잘 지내!

Jack: Thanks. Take care!
