[Model Response]

I felt the need to work out and signed up at a gym a few years ago. They were offering a discount for a six-month package deal, so I thought I was getting a good deal. However, the gym was not what I had expected. First, there were too many people at the gym when I went there. I normally went after I got off work, but the gym was packed with people. Next, I thought the gym wasn't clean enough and there weren't enough shower booths. Also, the membership was too expensive. I found out that there was a place nearby that offered membership for half the price. Several days later, I asked for a full refund. They said no at first, but I insisted. I couldn't get a full refund, but I got most of my money back.

 

[해석]

저는 몇 년 전에 운동을 할 필요성을 느껴서 헬스클럽에 등록했습니다. 6개월 패키지 할인을 제공하고 있어서, 나름 싸게 등록하는 것이라고 생각했습니다. 그런데, 헬스클럽이 제가 기대했었던 것과 좀 달랐습니다. 우선, 헬스클럽에 사람들이 너무 많았습니다. 저는 주로 퇴근 후에 갔었는데, 헬스클럽이 사람들로 꽉 차 있었습니다. 다음으로, 헬스클럽이 별로 깨끗하지 않았고, 샤워 시설도 부족했습니다. 마지막으로, 회원권이 너무 비쌌습니다. 저는 근처에 회원권을 반값으로 제공하는 곳이 있다는 사실을 알게 되었습니다. 며칠 후에, 저는 전액 환불을 요청했습니다. 처음에는 안 된다고 했지만, 강하게 우겼습니다. 비록 전액 환불을 받지는 못했지만, 대부분의 돈을 돌려받았습니다.

짐을 싸다 / 짐을 챙기다

짐을 싼다고 할 때 주로 많이 사용하는 동사인 pack이 과거분사형 형용사인 packed로 사용될 경우, '가득 찬'의 의미를 갖게 된다. 사람이 붐비거나, 차량이 많다는 등의 맥락에서 많이 사용된다.

 

예) I need to pack my bags for the trip. (나는 여행을 가기 위해 짐을 싸야 돼.)
The department store was packed with people. (백화점은 사람들로 가득했다.)
