    안나 씨, 이번 학술 대회 발표자 대기실이 여기 맞죠? 좌장님이 앞 세션이 조금 늦게 끝난다고 하셨어요. 그동안 제가 질의자 역할을 해 볼게요.

    Anna, this is the presenters' waiting room for the conference, right? The chair said the session before yours will finish a little late. Meanwhile I'll play the questioner.

    Anna

    고마워요, 준호 씨. 발표문은 여러 번 읽어 봤어요. 그런데 학술 발표에서는 질문이 더 걱정이에요. 질문이 꼬리에 꼬리를 물면 어떡하죠?

    Thanks, Junho. I've read my script through several times. But at an academic presentation it's the questions I worry about. What if one question leads to another, and another?

    Junho

    그럼 초록부터 볼까요? 연구 목적이 한 문장으로 나와 있어요?

    Then shall we start with the abstract? Is the aim of the study there in one sentence?
