The following is that I translated a newspaper article from Korean into English.
저기 넘어간다, 한 해 버거웠던 모든 것들 …
Go away over there, Everything tough this year......,
초지대교를 건너자마자 왼편에 번듯한 건물이 하나 서 있습니다. 초지인삼센터. 강화 주민이 모여 강화 인삼을 파는 쇼핑몰입니다. 이 건물 안에 두어 평 되는 시인의 가게도 있습니다. 변변한 일이 없던 시인이 장가 들고서 아내와 차린 가게입니다. 여기서 시인의 아내를 만났습니다. 박영숙. 시인의 강의를 듣다 같이 살게 된 동갑내기 신부입니다. 시인도 장가를 들고선 철이 들었는지, 아침마다 둘은 같이 가게에 나옵니다. 하나 이날은 시인이 마침 자리를 비웠습니다. 신부에게 이런저런 안부를 묻다 경기를 물었더니 이내 얼굴에 그늘이 졌습니다.
Just after crossing Choji Bridge, you can see a gorgeous building on the left side. Choji Ginseng Center, This is a Ganghwa Ginseng shopping mall run by Ganghwa residents. There is a poet's shop ofthat is approximately ten square meters in this building. The shiftless poet opened the shop with his wife after marriage. It was here that he met his wife, Young-sook Park. She took lectures here before and now she lives with him. His bride is the same age as him. Every morning, both come to the shop like the poet is grown-up after he was married to her.(The previous sentence is very confusing. Can you explain what you mean?) However, the poet is just away for the day. When I asked how business was, her face became downcast.
아무래도 강화도 해넘이는 효험이 있나 봅니다. 평생토록 삶을 버거워하던 시인도 여기서 해넘이를 하고는 늦장가를 갔지 않습니까. 강화도 여차리 해넘이를 보내드립니다. 이 해 앞에 여러분도 소원을 빌어보십시오. 힘겹고 억울하고 분했던 기억 모두 안고 가시고, 내년엔 희망 안은 새 해 둥실 띄워달라고요. 올해도 고생 많으셨습니다.
It seems that Ganghwa Island sunset is effective. Even the poet who didn't control his life well all his life, got married after he saw sunset here. I send you the sunset of Yeochari in Ganghwa Island. Please, make a wish on the sun. Make a wish that the sun wll take every memory tough, unfair, and mortifying away and then launch a new year that will hold hope. You worked hard this year as well.
If there is anything to be corrected, let me know, please!
I think that looks pretty good now. I am a little unsure to the sentence "Every morning, both come to the shop like the poet is grown-up after he was married to her." It doesn't make much sense in English, and should be revised in some way.
