Unit 656. I'm not sure if I can trust online reviews.

When it comes to online reviews, I'm not so sure if they're truthful or not.

English On The Go

When it comes to online reviews, I'm really not sure what to believe,

like if it's ever a truthful review or if it's not a truthful review.

-------------------------

And I'm only saying that because once, I went to a restaurant with my friend to eat,

and once we were finished eating the meal, the waitress came over.

And she was so nice the whole time.

-------------------------

She was really ... like, she took such good care of us.

And she came over after we finished. She was clearing up our plates.

And she was like, “Would you guys like to leave a review on our website and then you get a free ice cream?”

-------------------------

And we were like, “Of course, we want free ice cream.”

So then we wrote up this review about “Oh, the service was so great. Had such a good time. Love the food, love the atmosphere” and all that.

-------------------------

And then I thought, “Wow, she was only being nice to us, or so nice to us, so that we'd leave a nice review.”

But at the same time I didn't really mind, because we got free ice cream.

But now when it comes to online reviews, I'm just never sure if it's true or not.

In The Social World

Kevin (남)

I can't tell if online reviews are accurate or just left by annoying, nitpicky people looking to make a stink.

 I can't tell  알 수 없다.

 nitpicky 까다로운

 make a stink 소란을 일으키는 것, 갈등 상황을 만드는 것

 소란을 피우고 싶어하는 짜증나는, 까다로운 사람들이 남기는 건지 정확한 건지 .. 알 수 없다.

 

Debbie (여)

When it comes to reviews, I always look at them from lowest to highest. The low reviews are likely to be more truthful about the product.

English On The Go

When it comes to online reviews, I'm really not sure what to believe,

인터넷상의 후기에서는, 저는 뭘 믿어야 할지 잘 모르겠어요.

 I'm not sure = I don't know

 

like if it's ever a truthful review or if it's not a truthful review.

그게 정직한 후기인지 아니면 정직한 후기가 아닌지 말이에요.

 like 예를 들어서

 ever 여기서는 정직한 후기가 있기는 있는지 .. are there any ~ 

 

truthful 진실된, 정직한

-------------------------

And I'm only saying that because once, I went to a restaurant with my friend to eat,

그리고 제가 이런 말을 하는 이유는, 한 번은 제가 친구와 밥 먹으러 식당에 갔는데

 once 한 번은

 

and once we were finished eating the meal, the waitress came over.

저희가 식사를 마치니까 웨이트리스가 저희 쪽으로 왔어요.

 once ;  when  ~ 했을 때, ~ 하고 나자 

 Once I said that,

 Once I'm done with my homework, I'll go hang out with my friend  숙제가 끝나고 나면 .. 하겠다.

 

And she was so nice the whole time.

그리고 그녀는 계속 친절했어요.

 the whole time 정해진 기간 내내   .. she was actually sleeping the whole time. ( during that time )

 all the time 언제나, 항상, 자주

 

-------------------------

She was really ... like, she took such good care of us.

그녀는 정말... 저희를 잘 챙겨 줬어요.

 such 를 쓸때 습관적으로 such a 를 하게 되는데 뒤에 셀 수 없는 단어가 나올 때는 안 쓰는게 맞음.

 such a nice weather (x),  such nice weather (o) 

 such a good (x), such good (o)

 

And she came over after we finished. She was clearing up our plates.

그리고 그녀는 우리가 식사를 마친 후에 저희 쪽으로 와서, 접시를 치웠어요.

 

plate 접시, 그릇

 

And she was like, “Would you guys like to leave a review on our website and then you get a free ice cream?”

그리고는 이렇게 말했어요. “저희 웹사이트에 후기 하나 남기고 무료 아이스크림 받으실래요?”

 she was like 생각했다, 말했다 둘 중 하나 .. 여기서는 말했다

 you 뒤 쪽의 you는 사실 문법적으로 필요가 없음 and then get a free ~

 

-------------------------

And we were like, “Of course, we want free ice cream.”

그리고 저희는 “당연히 무료 아이스크림 받고 싶죠.”라고 말했어요.

 

So then we wrote up this review about “Oh, the service was so great. Had such a good time. Love the food, love the atmosphere” and all that.

그래서 “서비스가 정말 좋았고 정말 좋은 시간을 보냈어요. 음식과 분위기가 마음에 들어요.” 등의 후기를 남겼어요.

 and all that  등등

 

atmosphere 분위기

-------------------------

And then I thought, “Wow, she was only being nice to us, or so nice to us, so that we'd leave a nice review.”

그리고 나서 저는 이렇게 생각했어요. “우리한테 후기 남겨 달라고 친절하게 대했던 거구나.”

 we'd = we would

 only being nice to us  ; 친절할 생각 조차도 없었는데 좋은 후기 남겨달라고 친절하게 군 거

 so nice to us  ; 어느정도는 친절하게 할려다가 더 친절하게 한 거

 

But at the same time I didn't really mind, because we got free ice cream.

하지만 한편으로는 별로 상관없었어요. 왜냐하면, 무료로 아이스크림을 받았으니까요.

 

But now when it comes to online reviews, I'm just never sure if it's true or not.

그런데 이제 인터넷상의 후기에 대해서는 저는 진짜인지 아닌지 전혀 알 수가 없어요.

  true  여기서는 truthful 이라고 하지 않고 그냥 씀
