Song-hee: When I came here last time, I thought all my work was done and I can be relaxed with her, and when we were at Ocean City, I was so tired and sleeping the whole time.
Jen: Oh yeah! You were knocked out!
Song-hee: Oh my goodness!

Jen: So Marianne and I, we were not going to say anything, but I was like “but it’s 10, but it’s 10 o’clock almost. I’ve got to wake them up.”

Jen: No, but I had a good time.
Song-hee: And I feel much better now.

제 친구 송희는 딸과 함께 Washington DC 에 주말여행을 하러 왔었는데요, 딸이 바다를 보고 싶다고 해서 매릴랜드 Ocean City 근처에 있는 친구네 집으로 놀러 갔습니다.

그런데 송희는 그전 날 회사에서 늦은 시간 동안 일을 해서 그런지 Ocean City 에 있는 친구집에 도착하자마자 소파에서 피곤하다고 깊은 잠을 들은 것 있죠. 제가 깨워도 못 일어나서 결국은 송희만 빼놓고 다들 바닷가에서 즐거운 시간을 보냈습니다.

본문에서 송희는 “…but when we were at Ocean City, I was so tired and sleeping the whole time. 오션시티에 도착하자마자 너무 피곤해서 계속 잠만 잤네. 어떡하냐?”라고 했더니 제가 “Oh yes! You were knocked out! 맞아! 너무 지쳐서 잠에서 못 일어나더라”라고 대답했죠.
