ABC 표현 연습 (5/8, JULY)                                                             INSTRUCTOR KIM SOO-YEON

1. 금강산 관광지에서 최근 남측 관광객이 북한 군인에 의해 뒤 쪽에서 총을 맞아 사망한 사건 이후 한국 정부는 일단 여러 가지 의문점들이 해결될 때까지 금강산 관광을 중단시키기로 했다.

After South Korean tourist was gunned down from behind by a North Korean soldier recently at the Mount Geumgang resort, the tourist destination has been shut down to tourist travels until several questions are answered.

2. 미국의 신용 위축 상황이 확대되면서 파키스탄 같은 개도국들에까지 피해를 입히게 될 수도 있다는 분석이 국제 기관들에 의해 속속 나오고 있다. 

Reports from international organizations are coming out that the spill-over of credit crunch in the United States may start hurting developing countries like Pakistan

3. 급등하는 석유 가격, 곡물 가격 인상, 국내 정치 불안에 대북 관계까지 경색되면서 한국호가 엄청난 폭풍에 휘말릴 지도 모를 가능성이 대두되면서 많은 국민들이 노심초사하고 있다.

A possible perfect storm, in which all the negative factors of soaring oil and food prices, unstable domestic politics, and cooling-down inter-Korean relationship come together, is leaving a lot of Koreans in nervous anxiety. 

4. 최근 연구에 의하면 잠자리에 들기 두 세 시간 전에 하는 운동은 잠을 달아나게 할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기존에는 수면 전문가들은 잠자리에 들기 직전에 심한 운동을 하지 말도록 경고해 왔었다.

Some recent studies suggest that exercise 2-3 hours before bedtime can keep sleep at bay.Traditionally, sleep experts have cautioned people to avoid strenuous exercise right before sleep.

5. 동아시아 정부들은 개인 혹은 기업이 자국 통화를 특정 외화로 교환할 수 있는 액수를 엄격히 제한하는 조치를 취해 왔다. 이렇게 극단적인 조치를 취한 것은 외국 투자 자본이 평상시보다 너무 많이 빠져나가서 역내 국가 경제가 완전히 붕괴되는 것을 막기 위한 차원이었다.

The governments in East Asia have imposed very tight limits on the amount of money an individual or a company can exchange from the domestic currency into a particular foreign currency. The goal of this dramatic measure is to prevent a complete collapse of the economies in the region by keeping the outflow of foreign investments from getting far greater than normal.

6. 주변 상황이 너무 빨리 바뀌어서 우리가 대처할 수 있는 상황을 넘어서게 되면 일단은 방관자적으로 기다리며 지켜보는 수 밖에 없다.

When things change so fast that coping with it goes beyond our capabilities, we have no choice but to wait and see on the sidelines like an outsider.

7. 에너지 가격 인상은 곡물 생산에서 저장까지 그리고 일반 가정의 식탁으로의 유통까지 모든 비용의 인상으로 이어지고 있다.

Rising energy prices are fuelling increses in prices for everything, from producing to storing grains to moving to dinner tables of consumers.

8. 알래스카는 워낙 북쪽에 위치하다보니 곡물을 재배할 수 있는 기간이 짧다.

Because Alaska is so far north, its crops have a short growing season.

STORY 13. FLOOD ZONE

(OC) Good evening.  It is bad.  It is very bad.  Thousands of people in the Midwest are being told to move to higher ground.

(VO) And you just have to look at the map.  Rivers in eight states, from Wisconsin to Oklahoma, are in danger of flooding.  At least 15 people have died from the flooding so far.  There's been so much rain, that a major part of the Mississippi River may be shut down to barge traffic for weeks.  ABC’s Chris Bury is in Iowa City, Iowa, tonight. Chris, good evening.

(OC) Good evening, Charlie.  Tonight, the Iowa River here is spilling over its banks.  Leaving this college town, like so many places in the Midwest region, in a state of nervous anxiety.

(VO) On Normandy Street, today, they were fortifying defenses against the inevitable.  Knowing full well that not even these sandbags, or that makeshift levee, could keep the raging Iowa River at bay.

Our house is now like an island on the other side of this wall.

(VO) Scott Anderson was loading his entire first floor on to this truck.

I've got to do everything I can to minimize my loss.

(VO) The big concern, this swelling reservoir seven miles north.  Already, the outflow is ten-times greater than normal.  Tomorrow, it's expected to spill over its banks for only the second time in 50 years.

We're just at flows that we're beyond our capabilities.

(VO) That last happened in 1993.  Donna Crawford remembers.

(OC) What was it like for you in '93?

It was horrible.  It's supposed to be worse than '93.  I personally don't know how much worse it could be.

(VO) All this high water enters the mighty Mississippi, where it makes navigation treacherous and threatens the mechanical gates, or locks, that allow navigation.  Today, the Army Corps of Engineers effectively shut down barge traffic along more than 150 miles of the river, from Muscatine, Iowa, to below Hannibal, Missouri.

Right now, we're talking about commercial navigation.  They're not going to be able to go north and south on the river.  And that'll probably last for a total of two weeks, maybe longer, depending on the rainfall.

(VO) Those barges carry everything from coal to corn.

Well it's definitely going to increase the cost for moving grains.  It's definitely going to increase the cost for moving coal.

(VO) In Minnesota, so many farms are under water that a shortened growing season certainly means high prices.  In Indiana, the flooding has spread such misery that the president has declared a third of its counties disaster areas.  Back in Iowa City, the clock is ticking on Normandy Street.

If it comes over the sandbags behind my house, I'll leave.  But I'll stick it out until then.

(OC) Tonight, all eyes are on that reservoir.  Once it spills over, they're bracing for more flooding here.  One thing they don't need is more rain.  And tonight, at least, the weather is cooperating.  Charlie?

(OC) All right.  Chris Bury tonight in Iowa City, Iowa.  Thanks.

STORY14. FLOOD FALLOUT

(OC) Good evening.  This is just about the time of year when Midwest farmers should be singing about corn as high as an elephant's eye.  But in many parts of the Midwest, the corn this year will barely reach the elephant's ankle.  Record rainfall and widespread flooding has ruined much of this year's crop.

(VO) And that may well mean higher prices for everything, from what we eat to how we fuel our cars.  ABC’s Barbara Pinto is in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, tonight.

(VO) In field after field across the farm belt, crops are under water.

I've never seen this before.

(VO) Jerry Bradley has geese swimming in his corn fields.

I probably had 100 acres under water in '93.  So, this is twice as bad.  This is the worst I've ever seen it.

(VO) The corn that survived these floods is yellow and stunted.

Every Fathers Day the last three, four, five years, corn has been knee-high already.  And as, you look now, we only have just a couple inches here.

(VO) Flood waters have already destroyed an estimated 20% of the Midwest's corn crop.

We are on the very verge of a potential disaster in 2008 corn production.

(VO) Already the government is predicting a thinner harvest, sending future corn prices to record highs.  That mean rising prices for corn-based products, everything from soda and chips to milk and beef from corn-fed cattle.

We are already seeing it.  The market is already anticipating this and has already built it in to some of their prices.

(VO) The timing couldn't be worse.  Food inflation is already at its highest in nearly two decades.  A gallon of milk costs 21% more than it did a year ago.  The price of a dozen eggs, up 28%.  The high water in the fields could also mean even higher prices at the pump.  Corn-based ethanol provides 6% of the nation's gasoline supply.

(OC) Parts of the Midwest are already suffering the wettest spring on record.  And at this point, there is little relief in sight.

(VO) This afternoon, the clouds rolled back in over the farmlands of Wisconsin.

If we get two inches of rain tonight, this will be standing water tomorrow morning.

(OC) Oh, my gosh.  Would you lose all of this?

Yeah, we might, then.  We might even lose this part of the field also.

(VO) And as floodwaters rise on Jerry Bradley's farm, there is little doubt prices will rise in supermarkets across the country.  Barbara Pinto, ABC News, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

STORY15. BEST WISHES

(OC) Last night, on this broadcast, John McKenzie reported on the prom, that the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center here in New York throws for its younger patients.

(VO) 13-year-old Melanie, in the midst of chemotherapy, who had never been to a prom.

I hope it'll be magical.

What do you think?   How do you think you're gonna look in it?

Good, I think.

You think?   I think you're gonna look beautiful.

(VO) The young people's delight with their donated prom dresses and formalwear.

She has been wearing this dress for two weeks.  She slept in it last night.

(VO) And for one night, some dancing, still strapped to their IV poles, they could put aside their struggles and just celebrate.  Your e-mails were as touching as were the children themselves.  Dr Sharon McLaughlin, herself a childhood cancer survivor.  Live, love, laugh and fight.  You will have an understanding of life that some people do not learn in a lifetime.  Staff Sergeant, Rafael Ramos.  I'm serving in Afghanistan.  Courage.  Some use it in wars.  And children like you use it fighting your disease.  Never give up the fight.  Karen O’Neill.  I'm currently deployed in Iraq.  All of you looked fabulous as you danced the night away.  The smiles on your faces brought a smile to mine and tears.  And Jeff Watson, himself dealing with stage four lymphoma.  Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, he wrote, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.  Dance away.
