by 요즘 조선업은 말할 것도 없고 자동차 공장 중에도 문을 닫는 곳이 한 두 곳이 아니래.
I heard that not to mention the shipbuilding industry these days, there are a lot of car factories that are closed.
이제는 우리나라의 성장 동력을 조선업이나 자동차 산업으로 볼 수는 없을 것 같아.
I don't think shipbuilding or automobile industries can be seen as our nation's growth engine anymore.
제조업 강국이었던 우리 나라가 어쩌다 이렇게 됐지? 경쟁국들의 추격에 대비를 하지 못한 것은 아닐까?
We were once a manufacturing powerhouse. How did this happen to our country? Couldn't we have been prepared for the pursuit of our rivals?
그런 이유도 있을 테지만 우리 나라의 주축 산업이 변화하고 있기 때문일 수도 있어.
That may be a reason, but it could be because our main industry is changing.
그럼, 공장들이 문을 닫는 현상이 산업의 발달에 따라 진행되는 변화 과정이라는 거야?
Then, are you saying that the factories closing down is a process of change that's going on with the development of the industry?
그럴 수도 있어. 다른 선진국들도 그런 과정을 거쳤으니까.
It could be. Other developed countries have gone through that process, too.
