[디어 애비로 배우는 생생 영어]

DEAR ABBY: I live in an area with a large number of dog owners who frequent the same walking trails I do.
애비 선생님께: 제가 사는 지역에는 견주가 많은데 이들은 제가 가는 산책길을 자주 다닙니다.


On several occasions, I have encountered dogs that are offleash and running ahead of their owners.
몇 차례나 저는 목줄이 없는 강아지가 견주보다 앞서 달리고 있는 상황에 마주했습니다.


Sometimes the owner isn't even in sight.
때때로 견주는 시야에 보이지도 않습니다.


On several occasions, dogs have jumped up on me, almost knocking me to the ground.
수 차례나 개들은 저에게 뛰어올라서 거의 땅으로 쓰러뜨렸습니다.


I'm in my late 60s, under 5 feet and weigh 105 pounds.
저는 60대 후반이고, 키가 152.4cm가 안 되며, 몸무게는 47.67kg입니다.


I could easily be injured.
저는 다치기가 쉽습니다.


I was once attacked and bitten.
한 번 저는 공격 당해 물린 적이 있습니다.


My question is this: What's the best thing to say to these dog owners when they finally appear?
제 질문이 이겁니다: 견주가 마침내 나타나면 이들에게 뭐라고 말하는 게 가장 좋을까요?


The last time it happened, the owner happily said to her DOG, "I know you're excited, but ..."
지난 번 이런 일이 발생했을 때, 견주는 자신의 강아지에게 "네가 신난 건 알지만…"이라고 기쁘게 말했습니다.


The rest I couldn't hear because she had already passed me on the trail.
뒤에 이어지는 말은 들을 수 없었는데 그녀는 이미 저를 지나쳤기 때문이죠.


Abby, she saw her dog jump up on me and never even acknowledged me.
애비 선생님, 그 견주는 본인 개가 저에게 뛰어오른 걸 보고도 저를 본 체도 않았습니다.


I don't want to respond angrily or sarcastically, but in a friendly yet firm manner.
저는 화를 내거나 냉소적이지 않게, 친근하면서도 단호하게 대응하고 싶습니다.


— WALKER IN WASHINGTON
— 워싱턴에 사는 산책인


DEAR WALKER: You are far too nice, lady.
산책인 독자분께: 부인, 지나치게 친절하시군요.


Start carrying pepper spray or bear spray when you walk on the trail.
산책길에 나설 때 페퍼 스프레이나 곰 퇴치 스프레이를 가지고 가세요.


If an off-leash dog starts to jump on you, use it.
만약 목줄 풀린 개가 당신을 덮쳐온다면, 그걸 사용하세요.

When the owner shows up, say their dog charged you and take their picture.
견주가 나타나면, 당신의 개가 독자분께 달려들었다고 말하며 견주의 사진을 찍으세요.


If they give you any trouble, file a police report.
견주가 독자분을 애먹이면, 경찰에 신고하세요.


When you were bitten, you should have involved the authorities and your attorney.
개에게 물렸을 때, 독자분은 당국과 변호인을 끌어들였어야 합니다.
