The New American Church


Ray Kroc:
You know I drove through a lot of towns. A lot of small towns.
난 수많은 소도시들을 다녔어요.

They all had two things in common. They had a courthouse and they had a church. 
어딜 가든 두 가지는 꼭 있더군요. 법원과 교회. 

On top of the church got a cross and on top of the courthouse that had a flag. Flags, crosses. Crosses, flags.
교회에는 십자가가 있고, 법원에는 국기가 있죠. 국기와 심자가. 십자가와 국기. 

Driving around I just cannot stop thinking about this tremendous restaurant. 
운전을 하는데 이곳 생각이 머리에서 떠나질 않더군요.   

Now with the risk of something blasphemous, forgive me, those arches have a lot in common with those buildings.
불경한 말일수도 있지만, 이 황금아치는 그 곳들과 많이 비슷해요. 

A building, well crosses on top, what is that? It's a gathering place, where decent wholesome people come together and they share values protected by that American flag.
십자가가 있는 건물은 만남의 장소죠. 선량한 교양인들이 모여 공동의 가치를 추구하는 곳. 

It could be said that that beautiful building flanked by those arches signifies more or less the same thing. 
황금아치로 꾸며진 맥도날드 건물에서도 비슷한 의미가 느껴져요. 

It doesn't just say delicious hamburgers inside. 
단지 햄버거가 맛있는 식당 말고요. 

They signify family, it signifies community. It's a place where Americans come together to break bread.
가족을 상징하고, 지역 사회를 뜻하죠. 미국인들이 모여 함께 식사하는 곳이요. 

I am telling you, McDonald's can be the new American Church, feeding bodies and feeding souls, and it ain't just open on Sundays, boys. (Because it's open seven days a week.) 
감이 오나요? 맥도날드가 미국의 새로운 교회가 되는겁니다. 몸과 마음을 살찌우는데 일요일에만 열지도 않아요. (일주일 내내 영업하니까요.)
