Day 15(47-52/163-178p)

47

On hot summer nights, so humid that my skin got sticky, Gon would lie on a bench in front of the bookstore and tell me stories about himself.

Gon had simply lived his life.

*batter [ˈbætə(r)](특히 심한 손상이 가해지도록 계속) 때리다[구타하다]

*battered [|bættərd] 구타당한, 매 맞는; 심한 공격을 받는, 낡은, 닳은

Gon was the simplest and the most transparent person I'd met in my life.

*dunce [dʌns] 지진아

*see through one's mind 마음속을 꿰뚫어 보다

Even a dunce like me could see through his mind. 

We couldn't possibly resemble each other. I was too numb and Gon didn't admit he was vulnerable. He just pretended to be strong.

*see through 꿰뚫어 보다, 간파하다, 끝까지 지켜보다, 도와주다

+) see-through 속이 다 비치는

시스루의 진짜 원어민 영어발음 

People said there was no way to understand Gon. I didn't agree with them. It's just that nobody ever tried to see through him.

She never let go of my hand.

I have never been abandoned by anyone. Even though my brain

was a mess, what kept my soul whole was the warmth of the hands holding mine on both sides.

48 

*bubbly 씩씩한, 활기찬

*a bubbly voice 항상 명랑 쾌활한

*polar opposite 정반대, 정반대의 것

Dora was exactly the polar opposite of Gon. 

*agony [ˈæɡəni]극도의 (육체적·정신적) 고통[괴로움], 고뇌

If Gon tried to teach me pain, guilt, and agony, Dora taught me flowers and scents, breezes and dreams. They were like songs I heard for the first time. Dora knew how to sing the songs everybody knew, in an entirely different way.

곤이 고통, 죄책감, 괴로움을 가르쳐주려고 했다면 도라는 꽃과 향기, 산들바람, 꿈을 가르쳐주었는데 처음 듣는 노래 같았다. 도라는 모두가 알고 있는 노래를 전혀 다른 방식으로 부를 줄 알았다.

Can the word "love" be thrown around so casually like that?

*force into ~에 강제로 밀어 넣다, ~을 억지로 넣다
