안녕하세요! 오늘은 [더 글로리]라는 한국 드라마에서 나왔던 "이판사판"이라는 표현에 대해 이야기해 볼게요. 

먼저, "이판사판"이라는 표현이 어떤 뜻인지부터 설명해드릴게요. 
한국어에서 "이판사판이다"라고 하면 “모든 걸 걸고 끝까지 간다"라는 느낌을 줘요. 쉽게 말해, "이제 돌이킬 수 없을 만큼 모든 걸 내던진 상태"인 거죠. 영어로는 "all or nothing" 또는 "past the point of no return" 같은 표현과 비슷하다고 할 수 있어요.

[더 글로리]에서 이 표현이 등장하는 장면을 소개해볼게요. 극 중에서 이사라라는 캐릭터가, 문동은의 위협을 받고 나서 이렇게 말해요:
"뭐, 커서 만나니까 이판사판이다 이거야?"
그러자 문동은이 이렇게 받아쳐요:
"큰일나 사라야. 이판사판은 원래 불교용어야."

이 장면에서는 문동은이 "이판사판"의 불교적 기원을 말하면서 이사라에게 장난을 치는 거예요. 사실 이사라는 목사의 딸이라, 불교와는 좀 거리가 있어야 할 것 같은데 말이죠!

그렇다면 이판사판이 왜 불교용어일까요?
원래는 불교에서 판결의 두 가지 길을 가리키는 말이었어요. "이판"은 수행과 명상을 의미하고, "사판"은 절에서의 행정적인 일들을 가리켰죠. 하지만 오늘날 이 표현은 그 본래 의미보다는, 일상 속에서 "이제 모든 걸 걸고 끝장을 본다"는 뜻으로 널리 사용돼요.

이제 여기서 흥미로운 점은, 이 대사를 영어로 번역할 때 불교적 배경을 모두 설명할 수 없다는 거예요. 그래서 영어 자막에서는 이사라의 대사가 욕으로 번역되고, 문동은이 이에 대해 
"We are in the house of God"라며 응수하는 걸로 의역됐어요. 
이런 번역을 통해, 영어권 시청자들도 맥락을 놓치지 않고 즐길 수 있게 조정된 거죠.

이렇게 한국어에는 종교나 문화적 배경이 담긴 표현들이 일상에서 자주 쓰이는데, 번역 과정에서 이런 부분들을 모두 살리기는 어려운 경우가 많아요. 하지만 이런 표현들을 이해하면 한국어가 훨씬 흥미롭게 느껴질 거예요!

오늘은 여기까지입니다. "이판사판"이라는 표현과, 이 표현이 드라마에서 어떻게 번역되었는지 알아봤어요. 

다음에도 한국어와 한국 문화를 더 깊이 이해할 수 있는 재미있는 주제로 찾아뵐게요! 
감사합니다.

[The Glory] "Be careful, Sara. '이판사판' actually has Buddhist roots"

我想小王子大概是利用一群候鸟迁徙的机会跑出来的。
I believe that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a lock of wild birds.
在他出发的那天早上，他把他的星球收拾得整整齐齐，
On the morning of his departure he put his planet in perfect order.
把它上头的活火山打扫得干干净净。
He carefully cleaned out his active volcanoes.
他有两个活火山，早上热早点很方便。
He possessed two active volcanoes; and they were very convenient for heating his breakfast in the morning.
他还有一座死火山。
He also had one volcano that was extinct.
他想，“说不定它还会活动呢！”
But, as he said, "One never knows!"
他也把它打扫干净。
So he cleaned out the extinct volcano, too.
打扫干净了，它们就可以慢慢地有规律地燃烧，而不会突然爆发。
If they are well cleaned out, volcanoes burn slowly and steadily, without any eruptions.

火山爆发就象烟囱里的火焰一样。
Volcanic eruptions are like fires in a chimney.
当然，在我们地球上我们人太小，不能打扫火山，
On our earth we are obviously much too small to clean out our volcanoes.
所以火山给我们带来很多很多麻烦。
That is why they bring no end of trouble upon us.
小王子还把剩下的最后几颗猴面包树苗全拔了。他有点忧伤。
The little prince also pulled up, with a certain sense of dejection, the last little shoots of the baobabs.
他以为他再也不会回来了。
He believed that he would never want to return.
这天，这些家常活使他感到特别亲切。
But on this last morning all these familiar tasks seemed very precious to him.
当他最后一次浇花时，准备把她好好珍藏起来。
And when he watered the flower for the last time, and prepared to place her under the shelter of her glass globe,
他发觉自己要哭出来。
he realised that he was very close to tears.
“再见了。”他对花儿说道。
"Goodbye," he said to the flower.
可是花儿没有回答他。
But she made no answer.
“再见了。”他又说了一遍。
"Goodbye," he said again.

はい、こんにちは。今回はシーズン２の７回目です。今日は大学のレポートを一つ終えました。だんだん書き方がわかってきましたが、難しいです。毎年１月は日本語の生徒さんが増えます。私の授業でも、新しい生徒さんが増えています。いつもありがとうございます。１月は新しい目標を立てて、新しい習慣を始める人が多いですね。

Hello. This is episode 7 of season 2 of my podcast. Today I finished one of my university essays. I am gradually learning how to write them, but it is still difficult. Every year in January, the number of Japanese students increases. There are also more new students in my classes. Thank you to all my students, January is the month when many people set new goals and start new habits.

最近外に出ていなかったので、今日は出かけることにしました。出かけるほどの用事がなかったので、オンラインで注文していた商品を、わざわざキャンセルして取りに行くことにしました。「わざわざ」は、しなくてもいいことをするときに使います。いい意味でも悪い意味でも使います。電車に乗って、４つ先の駅の家電量販店に行きました。先月まではそんなに寒くなかったですが、最近急に寒くなりました。今週は雪が降るそうです。先月のうちにコートをクリーニングに出しておいて良かったです。

I hadn't been outside recently, so I decided to go out today. I didn't have any things I needed to do outside, so I decided to Wazawaza cancel the items I had ordered online and pick them up at the store. 'Wazawaza (intentionally)' is used when you do something you don't have to do. It is used in both positive and negative contexts. I took the train to an electronics store four stops away. It wasn't so cold until last month, but it has suddenly become cold recently. It is going to snow this week. I am glad I got my coat dry cleaned last month.

家電量販店でコンタクトレンズを買ったら、1,000円ぐらいのポイントが溜まりました。日本の家電量販店では、よくポイントがもらえます。この店のポイントは買った金額の10%です。たとえば1,000円の買い物をすると、100円のポイントがもらえます。ポイントは同じ店で現金として使うことができます。違う店では使えません。私はこのポイントを使って、筋トレ用のアンクルウェイトを買い換えることにしました。いままで0.5kgのものを使っていましたが、1kgにしました。持って帰る時少し重かったので、改めてオンラインは便利だと思いました。

Hermit crabs worldwide are abandoning natural shells for plastic, as revealed by online photos analysed in a recent study. This shift underscores the far-reaching effects of human waste on these creatures' habitats. We explore the study's findings and the potential impact of this behaviour on hermit crabs.

Hermit Crabs Embrace Plastic Shells: A Global Concern

In this audio recording I am talkign to you about the process I go through when answering these questions.

This is a process that I teach my students to discover & go through & succeed at speaking because they found themselves be more creative, less stuck and more words 'are becoming available' for them when they are speaking.
