    So Ai-chan got a job translating an app. Unfortunately, the Korean client can't speak English and has been google translating everything. Which means Ai-chan is translating google translated sentences into another language. When Ai-chan couldn't make sense of the English translation, Ai-chan asked for clarification, but the client just kept giving google translate.

    So everyone, please help Ai-chan, what do these two lines mean?

    "You are receiving expectations from those around you.

    It is God's gift that you were born on Earth"

    But what does "You are receiving expectations from those around you." even mean? Is this a Korean thing?
