7/22 Jaywalking

Most of us have been guilty of jaywalking.

ex> I’ve been guilty of cheating on my girlfriend before.

The next intersection seems miles away.

* mils away: 꽤 멀리 떨어져

ex> The nearest city seemed miles away.

* intersection: 교차로

So you take your chances and run across the street.

* take one's chances: 운에 맡기고 해 보다

ex> You should take your chances and enter the competition.

ex> Take your chances and ask him out!

Crosswalks are there for a reason.

* be there for a reason: 이유가 있어 존재한다.

ex> The stoplight is there for a reason.

Only cross the street at designated areas.

* designated: 지정된  cf> Designated Heater (DH): 지명타자

ex> Please smoke in the designated area.

Getting a ticket for jaywalking is pretty unheard of in Korea.

* unheard of: 들어 본 적이 없는, 전례가 없는

ex> It was unheard of to get a divorce in those days.

But if you’re caught by an officer on a bad day, you could get an earful.

* be caught: 적발되다, 잡히다

* get an earful: 긴 꾸중을 듣다,

@ Don’t be so careless. 부주의하면안 돼.

1. I'm guilty of overeat during being on a diet. 

2. The criminals knew the police were miles away. 

3. I'm the designated driver tonight so I can't drink.

4. Don't worry, it's not unheard of.

Talk about jaywalking.

Most of us have been guilty of jaywalking.

There aren’t any cars around, and you’re in a rush.

The next intersection seems miles away.

So you take your chances and run across the street.

But jaywalking isn’t just illegal, it’s dangerous.

Crosswalks are there for a reason.

Only cross the street at designated areas.

Pedestrians and drivers alike should respect the rules of the road.

Getting a ticket for jaywalking is pretty unheard of in Korea.

But if you’re caught by an officer on a bad day, you could get an earful.

Kids look up to us as role-models, and we should set a good example.

One more thing, don’t forget to look both ways!
