ABC NEWS 표현 연습 (5/8, DECEMBER, 2008)                                             INSTRUCTOR KIM SOO-YEON

1. 소매 유통업체들의 매출액이 10월에 큰 폭으로 하락했다. 이로써 4개월 연속 소매 유통업계의 전반적인 활동이 위축되었다. 하지만 10월 들어 2.8% 매출이 하락한 것은 실제보다 더 심각해 보인다. 현재 하락하고 있는 휘발유 가격을 제외하면 소매 분야의 매출액은 실제로는 1.5% 하락한 것이다   

Retail sales fell sharply in October. It was the fourth straight month in which overall retail activity declined. The October decline of 2.8 percent looks worse than it actually is, however. Take out gas prices, which are declining, and retail sales decline 1.5 percent.

2. 자연계의 지각 변동이 급격하고 광범위한 영향을 미치듯이 우리의 개인 생활에도 우리의 심경, 대인 관계, 육체적 건강, 믿음, 그리고 우리 삶의 모든 것을 크게 변화시키는 지각 변동들이 있다. 

Just as seismic shifts in the natural world have radical and far-reaching effects, there are seismic shifts in our personal lives that can transform our hearts, relationships, physical health, faith, and every aspect of our lives.

3. 서부 지역에 냉해가 닥치면 농작물에 큰 걱정거리가 되고 전국적으로 농작물 가격에도 큰 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있다. 서부 지역에 냉해가 발생하면 상추, 셀러리, 양상추, 레몬 및 오렌지 재배 비용이 급상승할 수 있기 때문이다. 따라서 냉해로 주 전체 감귤류의 4분의 3이 피해를 입은 캘리포니아에서는 일부러 그룹을 지어 불을 피워서 농작물의 온도를 유지하기 위해 노력을 했다.

The deep freeze out west means concern for crops and possibly sticker shock across the nation. If it hits the region, the cost of lettuce, celery, cauliflower, lemons and oranges could skyrocket. Crews worked to warm up cold crops using fire pits in California where freezing temperatures may have destroyed three quarters of state's citrus crop.

4. 콘택트 렌즈가 눈에 자극을 주는 것이 성가셔서 잭 던(Jack Dunn)도 미국의 다른 수많은 사람들처럼 레이저 시술로 근시를 고쳐볼까 생각했었다. 하지만 담당 안과의사가 영구적인 시력 손상 같은 부작용 위험성들을 말해줘서 생각을 바꿨다. 잭 던 같은 사람들이 바로 지난 5년 동안 급속히 성장하던 레이서 안과 시술 시장의 성장이 멈추게 된 한 가지 이유이다.    

Jack Dunn, fed up with his itchy contact lenses, considered joining the millions of Americans who have cured their nearsightedness with laser surgery.

But then he changed his mind, as his ophthalmologist disclosed the risks, which include a slim possibility of permanent damage to the eyes. People like Mr. Dunn are one reason that growth in the laser eye-surgery market has come to a screeching halt after five giddy years of expansion.

5. 경제적인 이유로 인원을 감축해야 한다면 정리해고할 근로자와 계속 남겨 둘 근로자를 판단하기 위한 공정한 계획을 마련해야 한다. 그렇지 않은 경우 회사가 정리 해고된 근로자로부터 고용 차별 행위로 소송을 당할 수도 있다. 

If you need to reduce your workforce for economic reasons, you should develop a fair plan for determining which workers will be let go and which will stay. Otherwise your business may be sued for employment discrimination by one or more of the worker's you let go.

6. 북한이 다시 빠르게 군사 독재 공산주의 시절로 회귀하고 있다. 나라를 간신히 유지하는데 필요한 시장경제적 요소들만 계속 유지하고 있다. 지난 2002년 7월에 시작된 부분적 자유화 경제 정책이 2005년 중반에 시들해지더니 이제는 완전히 끝나버렸다.

North Korea is heading for a major retreat back to military communism. Only the elements of a market economy necessary to keep the country afloat are being preserved. The economic policy of partial liberalization, which started in July of 2002, waned in mid-2005, and is now history.

STORY 13. CONSUMER CRISIS

(OC) And there were more signs today of trouble ahead for the economy.

(VO) Best Buy, the nation's largest consumer electronics retailer said sales fell more than 7% in October.  And the company warned of a seismic shift as consumers avoid unnecessary spending.

(VO) That news was one of the reasons the Dow Industrials took a 400-point dive today.  Here's ABC’s David Muir.

(VO) Long before winter, retailers are already feeling the deep freeze.  American consumers are not spending.

We are seeing almost a revolution type of change in the consumer.  They have come to a screeching halt.

(VO) Today, Best Buy's troubling retail forecast came with the sliding sales numbers to support it.  October sales down 7%.  And by December, the peak shopping season, they're now predicting up to a 15% drop in sales.  Today, even Macy’s said this holiday will be a nail biter.

(VO) The company lost $44 million in the third quarter, sales were down 6.3% in October.  JC Penny down 11.8%.  Dillard's down 8%.  And economists now say next year will be worse than this year.

2009 is going to be the first year since 1980 that we've seen a drop in consumer spending.

(VO) The reason Americans are not spending?  Growing concern about jobs.

People who are employed know it's imprudent to shop.  I mean they've seen colleagues let go.

(VO) Just today, 300 companies, from Ford to Kraft to Verizon, sent a letter to Congress asking lawmakers to amend the 2006 pension law, which requires companies to contribute a certain amount to employees' retirement funds.

(VO) They write, at a time when companies desperately need cash to keep their businesses afloat, the rules require huge contributions to their pension plans.  They say they simply can't afford that much.  All of this makes parents like Karen Cecire of New Jersey very worried.  She's already asked family buying gifts for her children this Christmas to be practical.

I've asked family members to buy them things that they really need, like clothes and shoes, instead of toys that they don't need.  And that helps with me so I don't have to buy that for them.

(OC) So many families feeling that same pinch.  Just this week the chairman of Merrill Lynch is now warning the economy is entering a slowdown not like 1987, '98 or 2001, but that this slowdown could rival 1929.  And that's what so many families, Charlie, have in the back of their heads as they buy less and less.

(OC) David Muir reporting.  Thanks to you.

STORY 14. FIGHTING CANCER

(OC) Next, we're going to turn to medical news, and the latest in the search for a cancer vaccine.  The treatment one woman is undergoing right now in her battle against breast cancer is offering some hope to many others fighting the disease.  After beating cancer once, an early experimental vaccine is helping her keep breast cancer at bay.  Here's ABC’s John McKenzie.

(VO) She was only 35 when doctors last year told Ingrid Eikineas she had breast cancer.  It had already spread to her bones and liver.

The message was, you know, start talking to your kids about not being around.

(VO) Ingrid had other ideas.  She began extensive treatment, and today, she has no sign of cancer.  To keep it that way, Ingrid still gets Herceptin.  But she knows eventually, in most women like her, the drug stops working, and the cancer returns.

You know that that day is coming.  So, in anticipation of that, I'm trying to be a step ahead of the game.

(VO) For Ingrid that means testing an experimental breast cancer vaccine.  Trying to use her own immune system to target and kill breast cancer cells whenever they might reappear.

The target's a protein that actually is involved in causing the cancer.

(VO) Targeting a protein in HER2 positive breast cancers, which account for roughly 25% of all breast cancer in the US.  This is the first of six shots Ingrid will get over the next six months.

You're doing great.

(VO) In preliminary tests, the vaccine produced a vigorous immune response in most patients.  And in some cases, lasting eight years or longer.

In general, it had been thought that patients with cancer, their immune system couldn't be stimulated in this way.

(VO) This vaccine is just one of at least 40 now being tested.  Many focusing on different targets, and different types of breast cancers.

(OC) If the vaccines can keep the cancer from returning, the next step would be to see if given much earlier, they can actually protect women from ever developing breast cancer.

The likelihood long term of a vaccine therapy being useful is quite high.

(VO) But it all hinges on pioneers like Ingrid.

If you value your life and your loved ones and you value your role as a mother, you're going to do whatever you can to stay there.  I'm not ready to leave yet.

(VO) John McKenzie, ABC News, Boston.

STORY 15. SEVEN PAGE QUESTIONNAIRE

(OC) Finally tonight, would you like a high level position in the Obama administration?  $100,000, maybe $200,000 in the pay envelope, a big office, lots of staff listening attentively to your ideas?  Well, it won't come easy, because to get such a job, you'd have to deal with this.

(VO) This is a seven-page, 63-item questionnaire you'd have to answer, and it's not certain even the purest of thought and deed wouldn't have a confession or two to make.  Question eight, describe the most controversial matters you've been involved with.  Number 57, list the names of your cohabitants within the last ten years, with whom you share bonds of affection.  And 13, ever sent an email, text message or instant message that could be a possible source of embarrassment?  That one would disqualify most of us.  And number 14, ever kept a diary that contains anything that could be embarrassing to you?  There go the rest.  So, could you handle all 63 questions?

I don't think I could get past the first three.

(VO) Could Obama or McCain handle the questions?

I don't even think they could.  That's a good question.  We all have skeletons in our closet.

We're getting to the point where only the goody two shoes can apply for high public office.

I would imagine I probably would.  I'm kind of a goody goody.  I don't think I have anything - to say that I've never written an email, though, that would come back and embarrass me?  I don't know if I could say that.

(OC) And I doubt any of us could.  So, maybe we have to wait for the next administration.

(OC) And that is "World News" for this Thursday.  I'm Charlie Gibson, and I hope you had a good day.  For all of us at ABC News, have a good night.

And that helps with me 로 시작하는 문장에서 helps with me와 helps me의 차이점이 있나요? 그리고 And (that helps with me) 발음이 So로 들립니다. And가 맞나요?

[charliek]

so가 맞습니다. help someone은 직접 그 사람을 돕는 것이고 help with someone은 간접적으로 돕는 것입니다.
