PRACTICE (6/JUNE)                                                                   INSTRUCTOR KIM SOO-YEON

1. 우리 아빠는 약 10개월 가량 허리 아래쪽이 아프셨었는데 의사를 두 사람 만나보고 두 차례 수술을 받으셨다.

My dad has had lower back pain for about 10 months. He's gone to 2 different doctors and has had 2 surgeries done.

2. 자연 재해나 기타 재해가 발생하면 삶이 갑자기 바뀌게 된다. 정서적으로 회복되는데 수 개월 혹은 수 년이 걸릴 수도 있다. 재해는 재정적으로도 큰 타격을 입힌다.

When a natural or other disaster strikes, life suddenly changes. Emotional recovery can take months, even years. Disasters also take a financial toll.

3. 이 로봇들이 지상에 있는 의사들의 조언을 받아 우주항공사들이 우주 공간에서 여러 가지 응급 수술을 할 수 있도록 지원하게 될 것이다. 

These robots, with suggestions from doctors on earth, would help astronauts to perform a number of different emergency surgeries in space

4. 기업들의 재생 에너지에 대한 관심이 서서히 달궈지고 있다. 환경에 좋기 때문이 아니라 돈이 되기 때문이다.

Businesses are slowly warming up to renewable energy, — not because it’s good for the environment, but because it’s good for the bottom line.

5. 어느 정도 재능이 있고 상당한 끈기가 있다면 전업 작가가 될 수 있다.

If you have some talent and a remarkable capacity for persistence; you can write for a living.

6. 결혼을 한다는 것은 신경쓰고 관심을 가져야 할 것과 사람이 하나 더 늘었다는 의미도 되고 먹여 살릴 군입이 하나 더 늘었다는 의미도 된다.

Marriage is one more thing you have to be concerned about and care for, plus, one more mouth you have to earn for.

7. 시리우스 위성 라디오 방송은 Howard Stern에게 5년 동안에 걸쳐 5억 달러를 지급하고 Stern이 운영하는 프로그램을 24시간 방송 2개 채널로 전환하기로 합의했다. 시리우스 임원진은 그럴만한 가치가 있는 투자가 될 것으로 낙관한다.

Sirius Satellite Radio network has agreed to pay Howard Stern $500 million over five years to transform his show into two channels broadcasting around the clock. Sirius executives are optimistic that he would pay for himself.

8. 교육세 감면은 저소득층 자녀들이 고등 교육을 받을 때 들어가는 비용을 상쇄하기 위한 제도이다.

Education tax credits are designed to offset the costs of higher education for children of low-income families.

9. 수술 이후 효과적으로 통증을 제어된 사람들이 퇴원을 더 빨리하고 합병증도 더 적은 것이 확실하다고 많은 신경전문의들은 말하고 있다.

Many neurologists say it’s clearly obvious that people whose pain is controlled effectively following surgery go home earlier, have fewer complications

10. 북한 지원에 투입되는 엄청난 재정이 과연 대북 관계 개선이라는 측면에서 그 만큼의 효과로 나타나고 있는지에 대해 회의적인 시각을 보이는 사람들이 현 정부 내에 많이 포진해있다.

There is a plenty of people in place inside the current government who doubt whether we are getting the value in terms of improving inter-Korean relations for the huge amount of dollars we are spending on North Korea in assistance.

STORY 16. LIFE SAVER

(OC) Tonight, "A Closer Look" at cutting-edge medical technology, that is revolutionizing heart bypass surgery.

(VO) Almost 500,000 heart bypass surgeries are done in this country every year.

(OC) It's effective in replacing clogged arteries.  But doctors have to open a patient's ribcage and recovery can take months.  Now, some surgeons are using robots to help perform bypasses.  They say it's better for patients and better for the bottom line.  Here's ABC’s Ned Potter.

(VO) Roger Suter moves furniture for a living.  And he felt ready to get back to it, just days after bypass surgery.

I didn't feel bad.  I had no pain.  It was great.

(VO) How could that be?   Because most of his surgery was done with this robot called Da Vinci, at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.  Traditionally, to reach the heart, doctors have to literally break open one's breastbone.  Here, though, the surgeon makes only a few small incisions to insert tiny, robotic arms in the patient's chest.

If you can go in between the ribs, not crack any bones, then that just is one less thing you have to heal up.

(OC) The operating room is sterile, which explains my surgical garb.  But the concept is really very simple.  By squeezing this hand controller, I can move that very tiny set of forceps.

(VO) Doctors who use the system say they love it.  And now, they report, for the first time that it pays for itself.

(VO) While the machinery is expensive, more than a million dollars for a single operating room, they said the cost is offset because patients go home from the hospital three to seven days sooner.

They've had one-third of the need for blood transfusions.  And they've had, overall, fewer complications.

(VO) There are plenty of doubters, though.  They say some hospitals are buying robots because it's sexy, new technology they can advertise, not necessarily because it's better or safer.

Are we really getting the value for the dollars we're spending in health care?   And from my perspective, the answer is no.

(VO) But in the end, it may be those dollars that do the talking.  Roger Suter was back at work quickly.  And employers, who complain about the cost of insurance, are looking to save every dollar they can.  Ned Potter, ABC News, Baltimore.

STORY 17. THE MONEY TRAIL

(OC) Tonight, a report on how an influential Congressman enjoyed an all expense paid luxury trip despite new rules designed to keep lawmakers from doing exactly that.

(VO) Last year, Congress passed The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, an ambitious attempt at ethics reform aimed at stopping abuses of lobbyists paying for Congressional members travel.

(OC) Did it work?

(VO) Chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross caught up with a Congressman while Brian was on "The Money Trail.”

(VO) Before the new ethics law, this fabulous resort on Hawaii's big island with its beautiful beaches and championship golf course, was a favorite place for aviation industry lobbyists to bring members of Congress for a long and free winter weekend.  But at this year's American Airport Executives Conference, many of the usual Washington suspects were missing, including Republican Hal Rogers of Kentucky, who sent his regrets in song.

You don’t buy me lunches.  You don’t throw me fundraisers anymore.

(VO) But where there's a will, there's a way.  Or at least a loophole, as the man in the bathing suit found.  He is Republican Congressman Dan Lungren of California.  A member of a key subcommittee that deals with airport issues.  Lungren and his wife flew here first class because of a bad hip, he says, and had four days in Hawaii without spending a dime of his own money.  Back in Washington, Lungren, now sporting a full beard, defended the trip.

Organizations have their conventions usually at nice places.  And I'll admit, I like to go to that particular one.

(VO) Lungren spent about half an hour talking with the group and much of the rest of the time, he could be seen around the pool, where he says he carried out important discussions.

I don't understand why you have such a big deal about pools.  I'm a California kid, I grew up around pools.  We do a lot of business around pools.

(VO) And the way Lungren got someone else to pay for it was simple.  The airport executives and lobbyists didn't pay for his travel directly, but instead arranged to hold a $1,000 a head fundraiser at the Hawaii hotel.  Then all of Lungren's travel costs, some $5,000, could be legally charged to his campaign.

It's a shell game.  It is still lobbyist's money influencing lawmakers.

(VO) Watchdog groups now say they expect other members of Congress will begin to use the same newly discovered loophole.

If they had their meeting in Los Angeles, I would have gone to their meeting in Los Angeles.

(OC) Pittsburg in January, you would have been there?

I probably wouldn’t have been in Pittsburgh in January.  Do I look like I would go to Pittsburgh in January?

(VO) But Lungren says if asked, he would be glad to be poolside at the same conference in Hawaii next winter.

(OC) Republican Lungren wasn't the only one out in Hawaii.  Senator Democrat Daniel Inouye of Hawaii also showed up there for a quick talk and his own personal fundraising event with the lobbyists and executives.  And then he too, using the loophole, charged his personal travel costs to his campaign fund.

(OC) Brian Ross on “The Money Trail tonight.

STORY 18. A BUG'S LIFE

(OC) Finally tonight, scientists from around the world are gathering here in New York for the World Science Festival.

(VO) It's a celebration of scientific discoveries that have shaped modern life.

(OC) One subject being discussed is scientific mistakes that lead to fascinating discoveries.  And one such mistake was made by one of the world's most famous scientists.  Robert Krulwich knows all about it.

(OC) When Charles Darwin was a very young man, he so loved hunting for beetles that on one day in 1828, he saw one beetle, then he saw a second beetle, and then he saw a third beetle, and with no place to put him, he popped one in his mouth and experienced a sudden hot flash.

(VO) "Which burnt my tongue,” he wrote, “so I was forced to spit the beetle out.”

(OC) And it got away.  And Darwin wondered, "what was that?”

(VO) Well, 130 years later, the great American biologist, Tom Eisner, may have an answer.  This little beetle gently attached here to a wax surface is a fighter.  If attacked by an ant, or by Tom, using tweezers, but not yet, please, not yet.  Tom and his colleagues discovered there's a natural weapon on this beetle's rear end that can shoot boiling poison in any direction.

(OC) Ooh, you can see the puff.

(VO) So, here's the beetle spraying to the right.  Then to the rear.  Then to the very rear.  And here he is for real, Tom attacking.  One.  Two.  Three.  Oops.  These puffs are so repellant, here's a frog sampling our beetle.  But, eww.   And it was the same for us. See that, right there?

(OC) Ooh.   Wow.

(VO) And this spray is not only stinky, it is very hot.  Chemicals from these two separate glands meet, explode at 100 degrees centigrade and get popped out like a machine gun.

A very fast machine gun, 500 pulses per second.

(OC) Which probably explains Darwin's experience.

And I know what he went through, because I tried it myself.

(OC) You tried it yourself?

I didn't swallow it.  I popped the beetle in my mouth and spat him out...

(OC) Why?

I wanted to find out what it feels like.

(OC) What did it feel like?

Awful.  Look at the frog.

Robert Krulwich, ABC News.  Attica,  New York.

(OC) How the bombardier beetle got its name.
