[Answer]

My neighbor.. Ok.

You know Eva, there aren’t many places to talk to the neighbors these days.

It’s because of the corona, everyone is doing self-isolation.

And you know, we don’t have much time to communicate with each other

because people are always pressed for time.

* pressed for time: 시간에 쫒기는, 매우 바쁜

 

Yeah.. I know.. It’s very sad.

But I will tell you about my neighbor who gave me ice-cream when I was young.

Whenever she ran into me in the hallway, she always said, “Wait a minute.”

* run into: ~와 우연히 만나다; ~와 충돌하다

 

And she always handed me ‘the present’ with her hands behind her back.

Yeah.. you know, she was so grateful to me that I still remember vividly,

and I look forward to a day when I get along well with my neighbors again like these memories.

* look forward to: ~을 기대하다

* get along with: ~와 잘 지내다
