I think one of the aspects of life where you have to practice the most patience is parenting.
And we have one story of my father that we always tell,
where his patience was running particularly thin.
-------------
I have two siblings, and when we were little, we would fight a lot about anything and everything.
One of the themes we would fight about was candy, so...
“Who has more?” and “Is this fair?” and “I want some.”
-------------
If we were on a long car journey, my dad was not going to have that.
So if we started to fight, then he would honk the horn of the car for a long time until we stopped.
-------------
So this was an example of patience running thin but actually achieving something, because we always stopped.
We were so embarrassed that we would stop so that he would stop.

I have two siblings, and when we were little, we would fight a lot about anything and everything.
저는 형제자매가 두 명 있는데, 저희는 어렸을 때 온갖 것들에 대해서 싸우곤 했어요.
two siblings ; 리카씨는 언니가 한 명있고, 남동생이 한 명 있음
anything and everything ; 굳어진 표현으로 많이 씀 .. everything 면 사사건건 다 싸우지만, anything 은 굳이 이런 것 까지도 싸워야 되나 .. (무엇이든지 다) 무엇이든지
One of the themes we would fight about was candy, so...
저희가 싸우는 주제 중 하나는 캔디였는데,
candy ; 한국에서는 캔디가 딱딱한 사탕을 의미 하지만, 영어에서는 사탕, 쵸콜릿 바, 젤리 .. 등
“Who has more?” and “Is this fair?” and “I want some.”
“누가 더 많이 가졌나?” 그리고 “이게 공평한가?” 그리고 “나도 먹고 싶다.” 이런 거였어요.
-------------
If we were on a long car journey, my dad was not going to have that.
차를 타고 멀리 가는 중이라면, 저희 아빠는 그걸 용납하려고 하지 않으셨어요.
not going to have that ; 많이 쓰는 표현 .. I'm not going to put up with it. I'm not going to have patience for it. 거기에 대한 인내심 난 가지지 않을거야. 안 참아 줄거야 ..
So if we started to fight, then he would honk the horn of the car for a long time until we stopped.
그래서 저희가 싸우기 시작하면, 아빠는 저희가 그만할 때까지 오랫동안 차의 경적을 울리곤 하셨어요.
honk the horn 경적을 울리다
-------------
So this was an example of patience running thin but actually achieving something, because we always stopped.
이건 인내심이 한계에 다다랐지만 실제로 뭔가 성취한 예시였어요. 왜냐하면 저희는 늘 싸움을 멈췄거든요.
We were so embarrassed that we would stop so that he would stop.
저희는 너무 창피해서, 아빠가 멈추시도록 저희가 싸움을 멈추곤 했어요.
We were so embarrassed that we would stop + we would stop so that he would stop
