Dear Ms. Kropf,

속상해 죽겠다 bummed out

A : 세탁소에 드라이 클리닝을 맡겼는데 착오로 내 원피스를
     다른 사람이 가져갔대.
     I left my dress at the dry cleaners, and someone else
     took it by mistake.

B : 어, 어떻게 그런 일이?
     Oh, no. How could that happen?

A : 변상해 주겠다고는 하는데, 내가 너무 아끼던 거라
     속상해 죽겠어.
     They said they'll reimburse me, but I really loved that dress.
      I'm really bummed out about it.

체면

	김민호씨 새 차 봤어요? Have you seen Kim Minho's new car?

	네, 며칠 전에요. Yes, a few days ago.

	멋진 중형차던데요. He's gotten a nice medium-sized one.

	돈이 많이 생겼나 봐요. Maybe he just made a lot of extra money.

	직장에서의 체면 때문에 차를 바꾼 거라던데요. I heard that the reason he changed it was for better status at work.
