Today's Dialogue.

[ Korean ]

A: 내 동생이랑 얘기 좀 해볼래?

B: 무슨 얘기요?

A: 학교 때려치고 음악 밴드를 하고 싶다잖아.

내 말은 안 들어. 내가 이해를 못한다고 생각해.

근데 걔가 너는 우러러 보잖아.

그러니까 너가 걔 정신 차리게 얘기를 좀..

B: 제가 얘기해볼 수는 있지만

별로 도움이 될 것 같지는 않아요.

그냥 그런 시기예요. 그 나이에는 아주 정상이에요.

자기가 좋다고 하는 일을 말로 그냥 막을 수는 없어요.

하고 싶은 거 할 기회를 좀 주세요.

그런 다음에 얘기를 하면 받아들일 거예요.

[ English ]

A: Could you talk to my brother?

B: About what?

A: He wants to drop out of school and start a band.

He won't listen to me.

He thinks I just don't understand.

But, he looks up to you.

So, if you could talk some sense into him...

B: I could try talking to him,

but I don't think it'll do any good.

He's just going through a phase.

It's perfectly normal for his age.

You can't just talk him out of something he's

passionate about.

Give him a chance to get it out of his system.

Then talk to him. I'm sure he'll come around.
