ex)

A. 얘야! 결혼은 인륜지대사이니만큼 정말 잘 생각해서 여자를 골라야 한다. 근검 절약하고 자상하고, 남편 사랑하고 존경하고, 사소한 일에 화내지 않고 아이들들 잘 키우는 지혜가 있고, 부모 공경하고, 주변에 평판이 좋아야 한다. 물론 예쁘기까지 한다면 2세를 위해 금상첨화이겠지만 무엇보다 여자는 성격이 좋아야 한단다 : Son! Marriage is the great thing that humans do in life, so you have to think about it carefully and choose a woman. Women should save money, be caring, love and respect their husbands, have the wisdom to raise their children well without getting angry at trivial things, respect their parents, and have a good reputation around them. Of course, if she is pretty, it would be the best for the second generation, but above all, you have to have a good personality

B. 아버지 어머니! 며느리에 대해서 너무 많이 바라시는 거 같아요. 쬐끔만 마음을 내려놓으시죠 : Father and mother! You two seem to want too much about your daughter-in-law. Just put your mind down for a little bit

A. 그래 알았다. 요즘 같은 MZ세대에 너만 좋으면 되지 우리 같은 늙은이가 이래라 저래라 할 일은 아닌 가 보다 : Okay, we got it. You'd better choose the only daughter-in-law who likes these MZ generation days, but it's not something an old man like us should tell you what to do
