Hello Heejeong!

Thank you for the great questions! Let's see if I can help! :)

2-1: Nocturnal animals sleep by day and hunt by night.
I know Grace did explain a bit from the videos, but I'm still a bit confused.
Would you be able to explain why it's not 'during day and night' please?

-> You could say “Nocturnal animals sleep during the day and hunt at night” to say the same thing.

2-2: a 1-to-50-scale prototype
Is it still ok to translate as '50분의 1크기'의?

-> Yes indeed!

—————————————————————————
2-2: While I have been ruthless in my pursuit of this type of work
I understood the underlined word means her 'mantra' and wasn't too sure if I actually got it right and translated properly.

-> Your translation sounds correct to me!

2-2: because we don't have the bandwidth to focus on what is ~
Is it ok to translate the word '여유'? I did it that way because of the first sentence of the paragraph.
I thought 'we're getting busy with life and work so pretty much no time to think about what makes us happy'.

-> Yes that sounds good to me!

2-3: to Jump on the U.S style Black Friday bandwagon
I saw your feedback and watched the video couple times, but still not too sure about the translation.
At first, I thought it meant '대세에 따르다' Is it still not good enough to say '유행에 따를 것으로~'?.
(I did understand your translation, which makes it more clear.)


-> Yes, you can! I do understand that it sounds good in this context but I want you to just really understand the nuance difference between the words 'bandwagon' and 'fad.' Calling someone a bandwagon can be different from "유행을 따라가는 사람" in my opinion!

2-3: we should see amazing Canadian deals.
I actually had trouble translating this word. I know it means '거래' and also can see from your translation.
The reason why I wrote as '할인 행사' is because I understood that it's something like 'discount' or 'cheaper price' that we see from the flyers (like 'great deals' or 'buy 1 get 1' things), and the article was about sale, bargain, Black Friday, etc.
In your opinion, what would be the best word to translate?


-> A great question! I absolutely agree with what you are saying. The word ‘deal’ often doesn’t get translated nicely in Korean and understanding the context will surely help. If I have to, I would define the word ‘deal’ here as “싼 가격으로 좋은 물건을 사는 것” but obviously we wouldn’t want to put that in our translation. I do think the word “할인 행사” might fit better than “거래” here. Perhaps… we could even say “득템” if we ought to be a little bit more casual haha! :P
