Hi Mason,
I'm Sujeong.
Thank you so much for your generosity and letting me know what to do from next time!
And I have a question about the 의역 part.
I got what you meant through the example you gave in the Detail Score comment.
but just wondering. I translated small guy into 일반사람 not "a physically-small/short guy"작은 남자
Was the comment for me or...just confused...or...my answer was wrong..?
Just want to make sure if the 일반사람 is definitely wrong or not.
Thank you!

Hello Sujeong,
The comment was not specifically for your translation but rather giving you an example of the difference between what we mean by 직역 vs 의역. I would not call your translation wrong necessarily but I think we can be more specific than "일반사람" when we translate this word, clearly knowing what it means.
I hope this makes sense!
