RESPONSE>>
Talk about the day without "Sohn."
Moving house can be a very stressful thing to do.
You have to worry about packing, finding movers, settling in to your new environment, unpacking,
you name it.
* settle in: 자리를 잡다, 익숙해지다
* you name it: 그 밖에 무엇이든지, 전부
ex> I like golf, baseball, volleyball, snowboard,
you name it.
And
to make things worse, you have to worry about what day you're moving in.
* to make things worse: 업친 데 덮친 격으로
ex>
To make things worse, it started raining again.
You
might want to avoid the day with "Sohn."
* might want to: ~하는 것이 낫다
ex> You
might want to leave early today.
Sohn is an evil spirit that wanders around north, south, east and west and
hampers various affairs of our lives.
* wander: 돌아다니다
* hamper: 방해하다
ex> Bad weather
hampered the rescue efforts.
Sohn stays in this world from the first to eighth day of every month in the lunar calendar.
However, Sohn leaves this world and goes to the other world on ninth, tenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-ninth, and thirtieth day of every month.
Koreans call these "the days without Sohn."
Since there is no evil spirit to
harass you, people move house on those days.
* harass: 괴롭히다
ex> Celebrities are always
harassed by journalists and paparazzi.
