English On The Go

It was my birthday a few days ago, and although by the time this airs,

I guess maybe my birthday will be a little while away, depending on when it airs …

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

But I really like to bake.

And because of that, a lot of … I think for maybe the last three or so years,

I haven't got an actual birthday cake for my birthday.

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

My friends and family like to get me, like, a tart or, like, something else, or sometimes I've made my own.

And so, yeah, I haven't actually received a birthday cake in a long time.

And on my birthday this year, I found myself getting four … or three and a big doughnut.

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

So it was really amazing because at a birthday party, two people brought a whole cake each.

And then someone … We had eaten one earlier in the day because I didn't think I was going to get one.

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

I didn't expect it. So I was so touched and humbled by that.

And of course I ate all of the cakes and the giant doughnut that I also got instead of a cake. Thank you for the gifts.

But I really like to bake.

그런데 저는 베이킹 하는 걸 정말 좋아해요.

And because of that, a lot of … I think for maybe the last three or so years,

그리고 그 이유로, 제 생각에 아마 지난 3년 정도는

 

I haven't got an actual birthday cake for my birthday.

제 생일에 생일 케이크를 받은 적이 없어요.

 an actual birthday cake  생일때 받는 것 처럼 생긴 케잌을 받은 적이 없다..

 

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

My friends and family like to get me, like, a tart or, like, something else, or sometimes I've made my own.

제 친구들과 가족은 저한테 타르트나 다른 뭔가를 주는 걸 좋아하는데, 가끔은 제가 직접 만든 적도 있어요.

  

And so, yeah, I haven't actually received a birthday cake in a long time.

그래서 저는 오랫동안 실제로 생일 케이크를 받아 본 적이 없어요.

And on my birthday this year, I found myself getting four … or three and a big doughnut.

그리고 올해 제 생일 때는 네 개, 아니 세 개를 받았고 큰 도넛도 받았어요.

  found myself getting 계획한 건 아니고 어쩌다 보니 그렇게 되었다는 전개를 나타낼 때 씀 

  예) 이거 안 살거야 라고 친구들에게 말 해놓고, At the end of the week, I found myself paying for one.

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

So it was really amazing because at a birthday party, two people brought a whole cake each.

정말 대단했어요. 왜냐하면, 생일 파티에서 두 사람이 각각 하나씩 케이크를 가지고 왔거든요.

 

And then someone … We had eaten one earlier in the day because I didn't think I was going to get one.

그러고 나서 누군가가... 그날 저는 케이크를 받을 거라고 생각을 못 해서 이미 케이크 하나를 먹었었거든요.

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

I didn't expect it. So I was so touched and humbled by that.

예상을 못 했어요. 그래서 저는 정말 감동하고 겸허한 마음이 들었어요.

  humbled 이란 표현이 영어에서는 자주 쓰임.. 일반적 

 

touch 감동시키다

humble 겸허하게 만들다

 

And of course I ate all of the cakes and the giant doughnut that I also got instead of a cake. Thank you for the gifts.
그리고 물론 저는 그 케이크 전부랑 케이크 대신에 받은 큰 도넛까지 다 먹었어요. 선물 감사합니다.
