add up / there are more moving parts

A: Why is this desk so much more expensive than that one?
I mean, is it because this one is motorized?
Because, other than that, don't see much of a difference.

B: Well, yes. The motorized feature is a big reason. That and the quality of the material.

A: OK. Well, aside from the material, I don't think I'd really mind adjusting the height manually.
I mean, how much longer could that really take, right?
And it's not like I'm constantly going to be adjusting it. You know?

B: Right. But you will need to spin the lever, kind of like using an old pensil sharpener as opposed to simply holding down a button.

A: Big deal. I could use the exercise. 

B: Sure. But then, you gotta think long term.
All that time and physical labor is going to add up over time.
Stuff like that gets really old really fast.

A: Ahhh. OK. I see what you mean.
I guess I never thought of it like that.
(I guess I never thought of it that way.)

B: Plus, you really can't underestimate the effect it'll have on the desk itself.

A: What effect?

B: Well, I could be wrong about this, but the mechanics that go into something like that could acually be more complex than something like this with a motor because there are more moving parts, meaning there are more things that could go wrong or break.

A: Why is this desk so much more expensive than that one?
I mean, is it because this one is motorized?

: 이 책상 저거보다 왜 이렇게 비싼 거야? 모터가 달려서 그런가?

Because, other than that, don't see much of a difference.

: 그거 말고는 딱히 뭐가 다른지 모르겠는데

 

B: Well, yes. The motorized feature is a big reason. That and the quality of the material.

: 모터 달렸다는 게 크지. 그거랑 퀄리티도 그렇고.

* that and ~ : (that 앞의 내용 생략해서 포함) "(that 앞)의 기능과 ~"

 

A: OK. Well, aside from the material, I don't think I'd really mind adjusting the height manually.
I mean, how much longer could that really take, right?

: 자재를 제외하면, 난 수동으로 높이 조절해도 상관없을 거 같은데. 그게 시간이 걸려봐야 얼마나 더 걸리겠어.

* I'd: 아직 경험해 본 적이 없기 때문에 I don't 보다는 I'd를 씀

And it's not like I'm constantly going to be adjusting it. You know?

: 내가 뭐 수시로 조절하고 앉아있을 건 아니잖아.

* It's not like: 이렇게 할 것도 아니잖아. 이럴 것도 아니잖아

 

B: Right. But you will need to spin the lever, kind of like using an old pensil sharpener as opposed to simply holding down a button.

: 옛날 연필깎이처럼 레버를 돌려야 할거야. 그냥 버튼을 누르고 있는 것과는 다르게

 

A: Big deal. I could use the exercise. 

: 에이 그게 뭐라고. 운동도 되고 좋지 뭐

B: Sure. But then, you gotta think long term.

: 근데 또 장기적으로도 생각해야돼.

All that time and physical labor is going to add up over time.

: 그게 하다보면 시간과 육체적인 노동이 쌓이잖아

Stuff like that gets really old really fast.

: 지금은 괜찮아도 나중에 엄청 피곤해져

* get old fast: 지금은 괜찮은데 좀만 있으면 진짜 피곤해져. 지쳐

Can you imagine going back to driving a stick?

: 너 수동운전으로 돌아갈 수 있겠어?

 

A: Ahhh. OK. I see what you mean.

: 무슨 말인지 알겠어.

I guess I never thought of it like that.

(= I guess I never thought of it that way.)

: 그렇게는 생각을 안 해 본 것 같네.

 

B: Plus, you really can't underestimate the effect it'll have on the desk itself.

: 게다가 책상 자체에 주게 될 영향도 무시할 수 없어.

 

A: What effect?

: 무슨 영향?

 

B: Well, I could be wrong about this, but the mechanics that go into something like that could acually be more complex than something like this with a motor

: 내가 잘못 알고 있는 걸 수도 있는데, 저런데 들어가는 방식이 오히려 더 복잡할 수도 있어

* I could be wrong about this: 내가 잘못 알고 있는 걸수도 있는데

* mechanics: (기계) 기술, 구동되는 방식

because there are more moving parts, meaning there are more things that could go wrong or break.

: 움직이는 요소가 많다는 건 잘못되거나 고장 날 수 있을 확률이 크다는 거지.
