I lived far away from Koreatown. One day I went there to buy food. I had not expected to go there so I wore everyday clothing. When I entered the supermarket, I realized that I was wearing the wrong style of clothing. People looked at me askance. Korean women my age wore black or brown clothes. They covered their shoulders just like nuns in a convent do. I had had this experience before and had dressed more appropriately then. But this time I was in a hurry.
As I stood in line to pay, an old man, who was standing near me, faked a cough. (Usually old men do this to young people or women to gain their respect.) He glanced at me. His face said, “Are you stupid? How old are you? Are you wearing your daughter’s clothes? They are not for you to wear. Oh, my God! Do you not have any respect for this old man? Is it OK to dress like that in America? Are you Korean or American? Get out of my way!” He made another fake cough, “Uh hum.” I am usually brave, but his fake cough made me feel like a loser. I gave him my spot, I lined up behind him. My daughter does not understand me. If I am in an American supermarket, no one cares. But this was a Korean supermarket.
글 안에 그리 어려운 영어는 없으리라봅니다만, 이해가 잘 안되시면 좌측에 구글에서 제공하는 "☞영어로 쓰인 글을 한글로 보기"가 있습니다. 클릭해서 보시면 이해하는데 참고가 될 것 같습니다.
번역기는 생각외로 오차가 아주 많아서 직접 읽는 것이 좋습니다.
누가 저에게 "미국생활이 어때요?" 하고 물어본다면 대답할 수 있는 것, 바로 "가볍게 살아요." 입니다.
10년이 넘은 이야기인데 제 옷차림 정말 가볍다고 생각이 들지 않아요?
가벼운 옷차림, 가벼운 뮤직, 가벼운 운동, 가벼운 음식,
가벼운 영어, 가벼운 생각, 가벼운 섹스
삶을 가볍게 합니다.
바쁜 미국생활,
살아가는데 집중을 하면 무거워질 수가 없습니다.
Cyrille Aimée "It dont mean a thing"
가사와 함께 따라 부르기(너무 빨라서 따라 부르기 쉽지 않을 것 같지만~)
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
It makes no difference
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you've got
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
It makes no difference
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you've got
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
It makes no difference
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you've got
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing
(doo-ah)
It makes no difference
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you've got
Don't mean a thing all you've gotta do is swing
It don't mean a thing all you've gotta do is sing
