Who’s Watching Whom?
A dwarf minke glides past divers near Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, at the site of what may be the species’ only known breeding-season gathering. Instead of chasing whales with noisy boats, researchers and tourists drift silently. Inquisitive minkes soon approach, often in bunches. Scientists photograph and film each whale. They’ve cataloged more than 200 individuals, each recognized by distinctive asymmetrical color patterns

무방비 상태의 인질들

A child is carried to safety amid the carnage that left more than 320 people dead at a school in the Russian town of Beslan, Friday, as a hostage crisis ended in a six-hour battle 어휘연구 carnage (전쟁터 등의) 즐비한 시체, 송장 hostage 인질, 볼모 인질사태가 6 시간의 전투로 끝난 금요일 러시아의 베스란시의 한 학교에서 320명 이상이 사망한 송장들 틈바구니에서 한 아이가 안전하게 밖으로 나오고 있다.

Defenseless Targets Close to 350 die, half of them children, after Chechen rebels take an entire school hostage. What the siege means for Russia? 어휘연구 Defenseless 무방비의 rebel 반도, 반군 siege 붙잡다, 체포하다 He was sieged with a sudden rage. (그는 별안간 분노에 사로잡혔다) Sometimes it is the gift of children to keep their parents strong. Elena Kasumova felt her hope dying as she huddled with her son Timur, 9, in the sweltering gymnasium of School No. 1. It was Friday morning, and the hostage nightmare in Beslan, a small town in the Russian republic of North Ossetia, was in its third day. Kasumova, a 37-year-old teacher at the school, and Timur were among the nearly 1,200 hostages packed into the gym. Most of the children had long since stripped down to their underwear; some fainted from thirst, while others drank their own urine. 어휘연구 huddle 웅크리다, 둥글게 말다, 떼 지어 몰리다 sweltering 무더운 gymnasium 체육관 (gym) It is sweltering hot, isn't it? (찌는 듯이 무덥군요?) strip (껍질, 옷) 벗기다, 떼어 버리다 underwear 속옷, 내의 faint 졸도하다, 기절하다(swoon) urine 오줌, 소변 The place was festooned with bombs: explosives hung down from the beams and the basketball hoops, some so low that the taller hostages banged their heads on them as they went to the toilet. That made the guerrillas very nervous. From the bombs came tangled wires snaking through the tight rows of children, connected to two spring-loaded detonator pedals held down by the feet of two guerrillas. 어휘연구 festoon 꽃 줄로 잇다, 꽃 줄로 장식하다 We festooned a Christmas tree with tinsel. (우리는 크리스마스 트리를 금속조각으로 장식했다) hoop 농구의 링, 테, 쇠테 explosive 폭발물 bang 세게 부딪히다, 세게 치다, 총포를 쏘다 He banged his fist on the table in anger.

"Bear this in mind," one of the guerrillas said, referring to the Russian commandos who surrounded the building. "They are planning a storm. We will defend you to the last bullet, then blow ourselves up. We have nothing to lose. We came here to die." 어휘연구 explode 폭발하다 commando 특공대원, 의용군 storm 폭풍우, 급습, 기습 bullet 총알, 탄약 Kasumova could see that the guerrillas were tense and exhausted. Since the siege had started, she had counted 16 of them ? mostly bearded men in their 20s and most of them Chechen, the rest Ingush and Ossetian ? though she suspected other fighters were stationed elsewhere in the school compound. What little mercy they had shown earlier in the siege was now gone. 어휘연구 tense 긴장한, 긴박한 bearded 수염이 있는 They fired their assault rifles to keep the Russian troops at bay. They bellowed orders at the hostages, refused pleas for water, and threatened to kill if the hostages didn't keep silent. At one point, Kasumova looked down and realized that she was still clutching the program from the celebration of the first day of school. 어휘연구 assault rifle 경기관총식의 자동소총 bay 후미, 내포, 기둥과 기둥사이의 한 구획 방죽, 교각의 사이, 짖어대는 소리 plea 탄원, 간청, 기도 clutch 꽉 잡다, 붙들다, 꼭 껴안다. But when she felt her hope running out, her little boy rescued her. Timur massaged her feet and kissed her, and told her stories about all the water and juice they would drink when it was finally over. "He was so good to me," Kasumova says. Like the other children of Beslan, Timur became a soldier that day. The explosion came at just after 1 p.m. One of those dangling bombs had apparently detonated. "A wave of burning hot air hit me and knocked me down," Kasumova says. "I saw two severed legs lying next to me." The gym was full of smoke and screams, but she saw children climbing out of a window. She and Timur clambered through the opening and ran. "The guerrillas opened fire on us, and I saw one child go down, and then another," she says. 어휘연구 dangle (달랑달랑) 매달리다, 남의 꽁무니를 따라다니다.
