Can someone translate this to english (from korean)?

Answer:

Being hit in the face by a bee (or even continual heavy rain on your lips) at only 30mph can sting, there are all kinds of products that will stop misting, and it is possible with most helmets to leave the visor ajar.
Burst implies a domestic water pipe, hot or cold, so the answer will be based on that implication. Determine the size of the pipe. Likely it will be either 1/2 or 3/4, likely copper. Determine the extent of the burst. If from a freeze, likely it will be a split along the length of the pipe, anything from a few inches to (rarely) over a foot. Go to your local big-box store and purchase a length of PEX of the appropriate size that is at least six inches longer than the damaged area. PEX usually comes in short pre-cut lengths or in a 100' or 200' roll. A pre-cut length will do it in most case. Purchase two Shark-Bite couplings to match. If you do not have a pipe-cutter, for what you will save from calling a plumber, you can afford to buy one, and a good one at that. The PEX can be cut with a sharp kitchen knife. Cut out the bad section + a little bit from each end - 3 or so. Cut the PEX to match the gap, less about 1/2 on either side. Install the fittings - left end fitting to copper; PEX; right end fitting to PEX; fitting to copper. Be sure to bottom the fittings as you go. Less than $40 including a Ridgid pipe cutter. Less than $20 otherwise. It is not rocket science, all you need is patience and a little bit of hand-strength. Ask the person in the store to show you how to use the cutter, and even how to use the fittings. Once you learn, you will be prepared for the next time. NOTE: If you use a hack-saw to cut the pipe ILO a tubing cutter, be sure to cut slowly and not force the pipe out-of-round. Cut all the way through - don't be tempted to break off the last bit. Clean the rough edges with a file and get the marl (cutting waste) out as best you can. In either case, when you turn the water back on, run a hose or tub fixture for at least a minute to get any displaced particles out. Good luck with it.
