호야, 이거 봤어? 방금 올라온 시사 대담 영상인데, 심야 버스 노선을 줄이는 문제로 패널 둘이 제대로 맞붙었어.
Hoya, have you seen this? It's a current-affairs talk clip that just went up. Two panelists really went at each other over cutting night-bus routes.

나도 학당에서 오는 길에 봤어. 교통 연구자라는 그 패널 말이지? 상대가 말하는 동안 듣는 듯 마는 듯 자료만 넘기더라.
I watched it on my way back from the school. You mean the panelist who's a transport researcher? While the other one was talking, he barely seemed to listen and just kept turning his papers.

그렇게 보였어? 나는 정반대로 봤는데.
