No the: work, school, college, class, prison/jail, church, bed, home
The: the bank, the post office, the hospital, the train station, the bus station, the airport, the theater, the movies, the doctor, the dentist

Huang Wei looks at both lists.
황웨이가 두 목록을 봅니다.

 

He asks: "Is there a pattern? Why do these places skip the, but those need it?"
그가 묻습니다. "패턴이 있나요? 왜 이 장소들은 the를 건너뛰고, 저 장소들은 필요한 건가요?"

 

Ms. Williams says: "Honestly, there isn't a perfect rule. The first group focuses on the purpose of the place, going to work to work, going to bed to sleep. The second group focuses on the specific building or place itself."
선생님이 말씀하십니다. "솔직히 말하면 완벽한 규칙은 없어요. 첫 번째 그룹은 그 장소의 목적에 초점을 맞춰요, 일하러 회사에 가고, 자러 침대에 가는 것처럼요. 두 번째 그룹은 특정한 건물이나 장소 자체에 초점을 맞춰요."

 

Fatima says: "So it's less about grammar logic and more about memorizing common phrases?"
파티마가 말합니다. "그러면 문법 논리보다는 흔한 표현을 외우는 것에 가까운 거네요?"

 

Ms. Williams nods: "Exactly right, Fatima. This is one of those areas where practice matters more than rules."
선생님이 고개를 끄덕입니다. "정확해요, 파티마. 이건 규칙보다 연습이 더 중요한 영역 중 하나예요."

저는 두 목록을 바라봅니다.

 

There's no perfect logic connecting them, some places skip the, some need it. I just have to remember each one, like vocabulary.
그것들을 연결하는 완벽한 논리는 없어요, 어떤 장소는 the를 건너뛰고, 어떤 장소는 필요해요. 저는 그냥 각각을 어휘처럼 외워야 해요.

 

I close my journal, thinking of tomorrow's plan. I'll go to work in the morning, and maybe the movies in the evening.
저는 일기를 덮으며 내일 계획을 생각합니다. 아침에는 회사에 가고, 저녁에는 아마 영화를 보러 갈 거예요.
