Unit 629. I make my vacations flexible.

I make my vacations flexible.

< 본문 >

When I go on vacation, I like to be more flexible rather than have a schedule.

English On The Go

So vacations are one of my favorite things to talk about.

And I know everyone has their own style or way of traveling, but mine is more of the flexible style.

One of my friends, she likes to plan out every single thing down to the minute, and there's nothing wrong with that.

But for me that's just too stressful because not everything goes to plan.

You know, there's always something that pops up that causes someone to be late or ( ) to not happen.

So what I like to do is plan three things that I must, absolutely want to see.

And then I try to schedule those over my vacation.

And the rest of the time pretty much is just up to me.

So let's say maybe I'm really tired from the bus or the flight. Then I can take a nap.

Or maybe as I'm walking I see something that looks really cool and I want to try it. Well, then I'll go try it.

It allows me to have more flexibility to try new things rather than sticking to a schedule.

So, that's my way that I like to go on vacation.

English On The Go

So vacations are one of my favorite things to talk about.

휴가는 제가 이야기하기를 제일 좋아하는 것들 중에 하나예요.

 

And I know everyone has their own style or way of traveling, but mine is more of the flexible style.

그리고 사람마다 여행 스타일이 다르다는 거 알지만, 제 스타일은 융통성 있는 스타일이에요.

 

flexible 유연한, 융통성 있는

ex)

My schedule is usually quite flexible.

제 일정은 주로 꽤 융통성이 있어요.

 

One of my friends, she likes to plan out every single thing down to the minute, and there's nothing wrong with that.

제 친구들 중 한 명은, 일분 단위로 모든 걸 계획하는 걸 좋아하는데, 그것도 문제는 없어요.

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

But for me that's just too stressful because not everything goes to plan.

그런데 저에게는 그게 너무 스트레스를 주는 게, 모든 게 계획대로 되지는 않거든요.

 

You know, there's always something that pops up that causes someone to be late or to not happen.

누군가가 지각하게 만들거나 어떤 일이 안 되게 만드는 어떤 일이 항상 생겨요.

 

pop up 갑자기 발생하다, 나타나다

ex)

Something popped up, so I can’t go there anymore.

무슨 일이 갑자기 생겨서 거기 못 가게 됐어요.

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

So what I like to do is plan three things that I must, absolutely want to see.

그래서 제가 좋아하는 건, 꼭 보고 싶은 세 가지를 계획해요.

 

And then I try to schedule those over my vacation.

그런 다음에 휴가 동안에 그걸 일정으로 짜려고 노력해요.

 

And the rest of the time pretty much is just up to me.

그런 다음 나머지 시간은 거의 저한테 달려 있어요.

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

So let's say maybe I'm really tired from the bus or the flight. Then I can take a nap.

그래서 예를 들어 제가 버스나 비행기를 타고 나서 피곤하면, 저는 낮잠을 자요.

 

Or maybe as I'm walking I see something that looks really cool and I want to try it. Well, then I'll go try it.

아니면 걷다가 아주 멋져 보이는 걸 보고 그걸 해 보고 싶으면, 그걸 하러 가요.

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

It allows me to have more flexibility to try new things rather than sticking to a schedule.

그렇게 하면 일정대로 하는 대신에 새로운 걸 시도해 볼 수 있는 유연함을 더 가질 수 있게 돼요.

 

flexibility 유연함, 융통성

stick to 고수하다, 지키다

 

So, that's my way that I like to go on vacation.
그래서 그게 제가 좋아하는 휴가 방식이에요.
