Mike가 Lin에게 “I caught you falling asleep during class so I tried to wake you up 너 수업시간에 조는 걸 봤어,그래서 깨웠는데 but it didn’t work 안 일어나더라” 라고 말을 건네네요. 그러자 Lin은 “Oh, did you? 정말? I shouldn’t have stayed up late last night. 어제 좀 일찍 잤어야 되는데”라고 대답하고 있어요. 이에 대해Mike는 “It happens, but I still can’t believe the professor didn’t even notice you were asleep. 근데 교수님이 네가 자고 있는걸 전혀 모르시더라고. Even though you were right under his nose 네가 교수님 바로 코 밑에 있었는데도 말이야” 라고 하네요. Lin은 깜짝 놀랐나봐요. “Yikes! 아이고! I’d better be sure that doesn’t happen again 이런 일이 다신 일어나지 않도록 해야겠어” 라고 이야기 하고 있어요.
