10/28 입이 트이는 영어: My Best Friend's Wedding

 

My Best Friend's Wedding

 

My older sister and I are four years apart. Compared to other sisters, we have always gotten along really well since we were young. We occasionally fought over clothes, just like most sisters do, but we knew each other so well that we would quickly make up as if nothing had happened.

우리 언니와 나는 4살 터울로, 다른 자매들에 비해 어릴 때부터 늘 사이가 아주 좋았다. 보통의 자매들처럼 가끔 옷 때문에 싸우기는 했지만, 서로를 잘 알았기에 언제 그랬냐는 듯이 금방 화해하곤 했다.

 

In July of this year, my sister told me she had met someone wonderful and was getting married. I was beside myself because it felt like I was losing my best friend. I cried my eyes out, all alone. I felt empty inside, like my sister was leaving me. I had thought she would always be by my side.

올해 7월에 언니가 좋은 사람을 만났고 결혼을 할 거라는 소식을 전했다. 나는 가장 친한 친구를 잃는 것 같아 너무 속상하여, 혼자 펑펑 울었다. 평생 내 옆에 있을 줄 알았던 언니가 날 떠난다는 느낌이 들어 마음이 공허했다.

 

But after meeting my future brother-in-law, all my sadness disappeared. Instead, I felt relieved. He acts tough but he's a big softie inside. In some ways, he's quite cute. He's a perfect match for my sister. I wish my sister and her husband a lifetime of happiness.

하지만 예비 형부를 만나 보니 우울했던 마음은 온데간데없이 사라지고, 안도감이 들었다. 형부는 상남자처럼 행동지만 츤데레 스타일이고, 나름 귀여운 면도 있다. 언니와 아주 잘 어울리는 한 쌍이다. 언니 부부에게 항상 행복만이 가득하길 기원한다.
