Q. Do you believe in the earthquake could destory your house any minute?

No, I don't think so. My place is a high-rise apartment. I live on the 25th floor in a 30-story building.

As far as I'm concerned, this building has earthquake proof structure. It is shaking technique against earthquake. No wonder, sometimes, at the day it is very windy, I feel the building shake a little. I heard shaking is good for safe. 

 

내진 구조 earthquake proof = earthquake-resistant

최후 심판일 doomsday

동시에 발생하는 자연재해들로 인해 지구가 멸망할지도 모른다.

Natural disasters occurring at the same time might result to doomsday.

우리가 생각했던 것보다 지구가 빨리 멸망할 수도 있어.

The earth could be destroyed sooner than we thought.

We could face with doomsday sooner than we thought.

Q. How many hours did you labor when you gave birth to your baby?

It took me about 10 hours to give birth to my baby. Even though many years have passed, I still remeber that day I suffered a lot. It was a natural childbirth. During giving birth, I had a hard time but, after having a baby, I turned to be normal as if nothing had happened. The human body is very mysterious. Anyway, one experience of having a baby is enough. I don't want to get through this again.

 

자연분만 natural childbirth, natural delivery

제왕절개 C-section, cesarean section

시간이 많이 흘러서, After a long time, As many years have passed, Over time, Over a period of time
