사람들이 서로 정이 드는 과정에 대해 이야기해 주세요.
[Response]
Korean people often use the word "jeong." It refers to emotional attachment. People usually feel such attachment to those they spend a lot of time with. This attachment is why we feel wistful when we part ways with friends from school. It's also why we are so glad to meet up with them again after graduation. Interestingly, we also feel attachments to people we often quarrel with. A surplus of this jeong is often used to describe the national character of Korean people.
[해석]
한국 사람들은 '정(情)'이라는 단어를 많이 쓰는데, 이는 정서적 애착을 말한다. 주로 오랜 시간을 같이 보낸 사람들에게 정을 느낀다. 학창 시절을 같이 보낸 친구들과 헤어질 때 아쉬워하는 이유도 바로 정이 들었기 때문이다. 그 친구들을 졸업하고 다시 만나면 무척 반가운 이유도 바로 이러한 감정 때문이다. 재미있는 것은 자주 싸우는 사람에게도 정이라는 감정을 느끼게 된다는 것이다. 한국인의 국민성을 이야기할 때 이러한 정(情)이 많다는 특징을 자주 듣게 된다.

[Response]
Emotional attachments aren't formed only with people. We can also grow attached to places or things. For example, working at the same company day in and day out can form an attachment. It's the same story if you've lived in the same house for ages. If you use a phone or computer for a long time, you can also get attached. People are loath to throw away something that bring back memories. Instead of getting rid of them, they store them away somewhere.
[해석]
정(情)이라는 감정은 꼭 사람한테만 느끼는 것은 아니다. 특정 장소나 물건에도 정(情)이 들 수 있다. 예를 들어서 한 회사에 매일매일 다니다 보면 정이 들 수 있다. 오래 산 집도 마찬가지다. 휴대 전화나 컴퓨터를 오래 쓰다 보면 정이 들기도 한다. 추억을 생각나게 하는 것들을 버리기가 아까워서 처분하지 않고 어딘가에 잘 보관해 둔다.
