Talk about major amusement parks in Korea.
한국의 주요 놀이공원들에 대해 이야기해 주세요.
[Response]
There are amusement parks in most areas of Korea. There are three large-scale amusement parks in Seoul and its surrounding areas. One is a cultural complex in a downtown area. It’s connected to a department store, a theater, hotels, and a skyscraper. The park has both indoor and outdoor facilities. It always gets crowded on weekends. The other two major parks are just outside of Seoul. They are a hit with kids. They are also popular as date locations for couples.

한국에는 대부분의 지역에 놀이공원이 있다. 서울과 인근 지역에 초대형 놀이공원이 세 군데 있다. 한 곳은 도심 한혹판에 있어서 백화점, 영화관, 호텔, 초고층 건물과 연결되어 있는 복합 문화 시설이다. 놀이공원도 실내 시설과 야외 시설을 모두 갖추고 있어서, 주말에는 항상 많은 인파가 찾는다. 다른 두 곳은 서울 근교에 있다. 아이들이 정말 좋아하는 곳이고. 연인들의 데이트 장소로도 인기가 많다.

어릴 적 놀이공원에 갔던 경험에 대해 이야기해 주세요.
[Response]
I remember jumping up and down in excitement when I went to theme parks as a kid. I’ll never forget the sense of anticipation I felt when we got our tickets. Once inside, I went on a lot of rides. I remember rides that moved at breakneck speed, and also the bumper cars. Some facilities were such big draws that I had to stand in line for a long time. I also remember eating street food like cotton candy as a snack.
[해석]
어렸을 때 놀이공원에 가는 날은 정말 좋아서 펄쩍펄쩍 뛰었던 기억이 난다. 놀이공원에서 표를 끊을 때 느꼈던 설레는 감정을 절대 잊을 수 없다. 입장을 해서는 많은 놀이기구를 탔다. 빠르게 움직이는 놀이기구도 타고 범퍼카도 탔던 기억이 난다. 일부 이용 시설들은 인기가 많아서 한참 동안 줄을 서서 기다려야 했다. 그리고 간식으로 솜사탕 같은 길거리 음식을 사 먹었던 기억도 있다.
