Mom said the only way I was going to be “well-rounded” was by trying different things.

well-rounded individuals 전인격을 갖춘 개인들, a well-rounded education 전인 교육

Question 2

If I had to start going to play practices, it would totally mess up my weight-lifting schedule.
I knew that would make Dad take my side. Dad and Mom argued for a few minutes, but Dad was no match for Mom.

A lot of kids came wearing costumes for the parts they were trying out for.

Question 4

I’ve never ever seen the movie, so for me, it was like walking into a freak show.

freak show : 기형인 사람이나 동물을 보여주는 쇼, (도착적인 흥미를 위한) 기괴한 쇼

Question 5

I have no idea what a “soprano” is, but from the way some of the girls were giggling, I knew it wasn’t a good thing.
Tryouts went on forever.

But about halfway through the movie, I figured out what part I wanted to sign up for.

*at one point or another : 한번쯤은
*sign up for : ~을 신청(가입)하다

Getting to peg Patty Farrell with apples in front of a live audience would be my dream come true.

Question 8

I may actually have to thank Mom for making me do this play once it’s all over.

Question 9

I guess there are a lot of guys who have a bone to pick with Patty Farrell.

Answer 9

*have a bone to pick with somebody : ~에게 따질 일이 있다

Question 10

Well, like Mom always says, be careful what you wish for. I got picked to be a Tree, but I don’t know if that’s such a good thing. The Tree costumes don’t actually have arm holes, so I guess that rules out any apple-throwing.

Answer 10

*Be careful what you wish for : 말이 씨가 된다, 말이 씨가 될 수 있으니깐 신중하게 말해(소원을 빌어), 후회할지도 모르니 조심해
*rule out : 8제외시키다, 배제하다; 불가능하게 하다.
