2021년 9월 20일(월) 입이 트이는 영어 When I feel I am aging 나이가 든다고 느낄 때

제니퍼: When do you feel that you’re aging? or you have aged?
이현석: I guess when I can’t pull an all-nighter. That’s one thing. I used to be able to stay-up all night and do stuff and function properly next day. But now that’s not even a question I ask myself whether possible or not. I just don’t do it. Because I feel as if it’s not something I should do now. Because now I’m in my mid-40s, just not possible anymore.

제니퍼: My energy levels have dropped as well. But I still enjoy the late night activities. I don’t know because I tend to go to bed quite late. But when I most often feel that I have aged or when I feel that I’m aging, when I see my parents aging. When I see my little boy growing so fast, it hits me. It makes me think “Wow, it’s not just these people around me #### getting older, I have gotton olders as well.”

[Speaking] Talk about When you feel like you are getting older. 나이든다고 느끼는 경우에 대해서 이야기해주세요

Entering a new decade of my life gave me mixed feelings.	나이의 앞자리가 바뀌고 나니 기분이 묘해졌다.
I’ve only turned 40 years old but I feel ancient.	이제 겨우 40이 되었는데, 굉장히 나이가 많은 것 같다.
My social responsiblity seems like it has more than doubled, too.	사회적 책임도 두배 이상 무거워진 것 같다.
I was dismayed to find that I’m not like I was in my 20s, no matter how well I put on make-up or strike a pose.	아무리 화장을 잘하고 포즈를 취해도 20대와는 다르다는 것에 좌절했다
I don’t have the supple skin that I used to, and it has no pep.	피부의 탄력도 예전같지 않고, 생기도 없다.
When I was a 20-something, I didn’t know that youth would be short-lived and brilliant.	20대에는 젊음이 짧고 빛나는 시기였다는 걸 몰랐다.
I am working out, but my body shape is becoming rounder.	운동을 하고 있지만, 체형이 더 둥글해지고 있다.
I feel sad that I’m turning old like this.	이대로 늙어간다는 것이 슬프다.
I should learn to love my middle-aged appearance for what it is, but it still feels unfamiliar.	나의 40대의 모습을 있는 그대로 사랑하는 것을 배워야하는데, 여전히 낯설다.
I would like to become a person who is beautiful both inside and out, as I get older.	나이가 들면서 내면과 외면 모두가 아름다운 사람이 되고 싶다.
Now, I have to aim for a more mature appeal.	지금, 좀 더 성숙한 매력을 추구해야겠다.
