RESPONSE>> Talk about sam-bok.
You're probably complaining about the weather being so hot these days and I don't blame you.
* blame: ~을 탓하다, 비난하다
ex> He doesn't like people who complain about everything.
I have my AC on at full blast as we speak.
* at full blast: 풀가동으로
* as we speak: 바로 지금
ex> Your ex-girlfriend is getting married as we speak.
ex> He had his stereo on at full blast.
You might ask, 'why is it so hot?' That's because today is 'cho-bok,' which marks the beginning of sam-bok.
ex> Today marks the beginning of mosquito season.
Sam-bok literally means 'three hottest days of summer.'
The second day comes 10 days after today and it's called joong-bok.
Then another 10 days after that, the last day of sam-bok occurs. It's called mal-bok.
Since sam-bok dates are set based on the lunar calendar, they vary every year.
ex> This movie is based on a true story.
And what do Koreans do to fight this sam-bok heat?
ex> You really have to fight the craving to smoke.
On each sam-bok day, they eat samgye-tang, a ginseng chicken soup.
So have yourself a nice bowl of samgye-tang today.
ex> Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
ex> Why don't you have yourself a nice cup of green tea?
@ That samgye-tang really hit the spot. 그 삼계탕 정말 맛있었어.
1. The 2012 summer Olympic Games is starting as we speak.
