A Day At The Beach
(ref. Heaton, “Composition Through Pictures”, page 1)

Thor May; translation by 박준영

1. It is a beautiful day at the beach.

아름다운 해수욕장 풍경입니다 .

2. Many people are enjoying the sunshine.

일광욕을 즐기는 사람들이 많이 보입니다 .

3. One small boy is burying his father’s legs in the sand.

한 남자 꼬마는 아빠 다리에 모래를 쌓고 있네요 .

4. Some other children are throwing a beach ball.

비치볼을 갖고 노는 아이들도 있습니다 .

5. The ball knocks off a fat man’s sunglasses.

어떤 뚱보 아저씨 선글라스가 비치볼에 맞아 떨어집니다 .

6. The fat man is reading a newspaper.

그 뚱보 아저씨는 신문을 읽고 있어요 .

7. Two other men are using a cine camera.

영화 카메라로 뭔가를 찍고 있는 두 아저씨도 있네요 .

8. They are filming a life guard who is running to the water.

바다로 달려가고 있는 인명구조원을 찍고 있군요 .

9. In the water a girl is waving her arms for help.

물속에서 여자애 한 명이 도와달라고 팔을 휘젓고 있네요

10. Maybe she is drowning.

물에 가라앉지 않으려 허우적대고 있는 것 같습니다 .

11. Another three swimmers are swimming out to the raft.

다른 세 사람은 고무보트를 향해 헤엄치고 있습니다 .

12. The raft is already very crowded.

고무보트는 벌써 만원입니다 .

13. There seem to be about sixteen or more people on the raft.

열예닐곱 명이 타고 있는 것 같습니다 .
