Public offices will open later and transportation will be expanded today, the day of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), for over half a million test-taker.

약 50만 명이 넘는 수험생들이 응시하는 대학수학능력시험(수능시험)이 오늘 치러지며, 관공서의 근무시간이 한 시간 미뤄지고 대중교통 또한 연장운행 한다.


Public offices will open at 10 a.m., an hour later than usual, in an effort to ease traffic congestion during the morning rush hour as exam-takers need to arrive at their test venues by 8:10 a.m.

수능시험 응시생들이 오전 8시 10분까지 시험장에 도착해야 함에 따라, 아침 출근 시간 교통체증을 줄이기 위해 관공서들은 평소보다 한 시간 늦은 오전 10시에 근무를 시작한다.


The stock market and banks will also delay their opening by one hour, so the market will open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and banks from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

주식 시장과 은행도 한 시간 늦게 연다. 주식 시장은 오전 10시부터 오후 4시 30분까지, 은행은 오전 10시에서 오후 5시까지 연다.


In Seoul, the city government will increase subway operations in the morning and extend the rush hour operation time to facilitate the transportation of test-takers and workers who will be heading to work later than usual.

서울시는 아침 일찍 나가는 수험생들과 평소보다 늦게 퇴근하는 근로자들의 교통을 용이하게 하기 위해 출근 혼잡시간의 지하철 집중 배차시간을 늘린다.


Some 810 city-owned and private cars will be on standby near subway stations and bus stops to transport test-takers to their test venues if needed.

'수험생 수송 지원 차량' 안내문을 부착한 민?관용 차량 810대도 지하철역, 버스정류소 인근에 대기해, 수험생이 승차를 요청하면 수험장까지 데려다준다.


Flight operations will also be suspended during the English listening test hours between 1:05 p.m. and 1:40 p.m., as noise from flights can interfere with the test. Takeoff and landing will be banned during the time, with planes about to land having to stay in the air over 3 kilometers in altitude under the control tower's direction.

비행기 소음이 시험을 방해할 수 있기에, 영어 듣기평가 시간인 오후 1시 5분과 1시 40분 사이에 항공기의 운항이 중단된다. 이 시간 동안 비행기의 이착륙이 전면 통제되며, 비행기들은 관제탑의 지시하에 고도 3km 이상을 유지해야만 한다.


Test-takers will also have to brace themselves for cold and bad weather, as the mercury is forecast to plummet on Thursday, with the central parts of the nation having subzero temperatures, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA).

목요일 수은주가 곤두박질칠 것으로 전망되는 만큼, 수험생들은 추운 날씨에 대비해야만 한다. 기상청에 따르면 중부 지방은 기온이 영하로 떨어질 것으로 전망된다.


Cold wave warnings were issued Wednesday evening for Seoul and Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces, as Thursday's morning lows there were expected to drop more than 10 degrees compared to Wednesday's. Seoul will have minus 3 degrees Celsius, and Chuncheon, minus 4 degrees.

목요일 아침 최저기온이 수요일에 비해 10도 이상 떨어질 것으로 예상됨에 따라, 수요일 저녁에 서울과 경기, 강원 지역에 한파주의보가 내려졌다. 아침 최저기온은 서울이 영하 3도, 춘천은 영하 4도가 예상된다.


"The subzero temperatures could freeze roads that have been wet from Wednesday's rain," a KMA official said.

기상청 관계자는 "수요일 내린 비로 젖어 있던 도로가 영하의 기온으로 인해 얼어붙을 수 있다"고 말하며 주의를 당부했다.
