새로운 취미생활. 영어 원서 읽기 ^^

날은 덥고, 아이들은 원격수업에 방학. 새로운 취미가 생겼다.
런던샘이 추천한 원서를 좀 읽어볼 생각이다. 아주 쉬운걸로. ^^
영어를 공부하겠다는 것 보단 그냥 취미생활로 운동하듯이 조금씩 읽어볼 생각이다.
전체를 한번 쭉 읽어봤는데, 재밌어서 초딩 딸에게도 해석해서 읽어줬다. 생각보다 재밌는 시간이었다.
근데 이거 스크립트를 구할 수가 없네 ㅠㅠ. 아쉬운대로 직접 타이핑을 해보았다.
이거 매일 조금씩 쓰다보면 많은 시간이 걸릴것같으니, 책을 사서 보는것도 괜찮을듯하다.

Goodbye, Mr Hollywood

CHAPTER 1. Mystery girl

It all began on a beautiful spring morning in a village called Whistler, in Canada – a pretty little village in the mountains of British Columbia.

There was a cafe in the village, with tables outside, and at one of these tables sat a young man.

He finished his breakfast, drank his coffee, looked up into the blue sky, and felt the warm sun of his face. Nick Lortz was a happy man.

The waiter came upto his table. ‘More coffee?’ he asked.

‘Yeah. Great,’ said Nick.

He gave the waiter his coffee cup.

The waiter looked at the camera on the table.

‘On vacation?’ he said. ‘Where are you from?’

‘San Francisco,’ Nick said. He laughed.

‘But I’m not on vacation – I’m working.

I’m a travel writer, and I’m doing a book on mountains in North America.

I’ve got some great pictures of your mountain.’

The two men looked up at Wishtler Mountain behind the village.

It looked very beautiful in the morning sun.

‘Do you travel a lot, then?’ asked the waiter.

‘All the time,’ Nick said.

‘I write books, and I write for travel magazines.

I write about everything- different countries, towns, villages, rivers, mountains, people...’

The waiter looked over Nick’s head.

‘There’s girl across the street,‘ he said.

‘Do you know her?’

Nick turned his head and looked.

‘No, I don’t.’

‘Well, she knows you, I think,’ the waiter said.

‘She’s watching you very carefully.’

He gave Nick a smile.

‘Have a nice day!’

He went away, back into the cafe.

Nick looked at the girl across the street.

She was about twenty-five, and she was very pretty.

‘She is watching me,’ Nick thought.

Then the girl turned and looked in one of the shop windows.

After a second or two, she looked back at Nick again.
