진행자: 김혜연, Paul Kerry 1. New Zealand ups pressure on Korea to cooperate in diplomat sexual assault case [1] New Zealand authorities have heightened pressure on South Korea to cooperate in its probe of a Korean diplomat who has been accused of sexual assault. *heighten pressure on: (감정·효과를) 고조시키다, 압박하다 *probe of: 조사하다, 캐묻다 [2] Winston Peters, New Zealand’s deputy prime minister and foreign affairs minister, urged the Korean government to cooperate by waiving the accused man’s diplomatic immunity and sending him to New Zealand to defend himself. *waive: (권리 등을) 포기하다 *diplomatic immunity: 외교관의 면책 특권 [3] Korea’s former deputy ambassador to New Zealand, surnamed Kim, is accused of groping a male staffer on three different occasions in late 2017 while he was stationed at the Korean Embassy in Wellington. The case reemerged after New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern raised the issue in a phone call with President Moon Jae-in last week. It is rare for such a topic to be discussed between two heads of state. *groping: 손으로 더듬는, 암중모색하는 *stationed at: ~에 주둔하고 있는 [4] During the phone call, Ardern expressed her disappointment that the Korean government was unable to waive diplomatic immunity and allow the police investigation to proceed, local daily the New Zealand Herald reported Sunday, quoting Ardern’s spokesman. “The matter now rests with the Korean Government to determine any next steps,” the spokesman was quoted as saying. *rests with: ~에 달려있다, ~의 책임이다 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200802000157&np=1&mp=1 2. Korea has 2nd-highest income gap in OECD [1] The gulf between the haves and have-nots is wider in South Korea than in almost any other member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a recent analysis suggests, with only the US showing greater inequality. *haves and have-nots: 가진 자와 못 가진 자 [2] The poverty rate is the percentage of people whose income is less than half the median household income, according to the organization’s definition. If a country’s median household income were 40 million won ($33,500) per annum, the poverty line would be 20 million won. *per annum: 1년에 (연율) *poverty line: 빈곤선 (최저한도의 생활을 유지하는 데 필요한 수입 수준) [3] Korea posted a poverty rate of 17.4 percent -- the second-highest among the 35 economies analyzed. The US poverty rate stood at 17.8 percent. *stand at: -에 서다, -을 나타내다 [4] A research analyst said “the nation’s middle-income bracket has collapsed, and a large portion of middle-income households should be reclassified as part of the low-income bracket.” *bracket: 괄호, 범위, 등급 *reclassify: 재분류하다 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200802000122…
진행자: 간형우, Brolley Genster [팟캐스트] (363) 이번 주 또 폭우 예정 / ‘강철비2: 정상회담’ 개봉 진행자: 간형우, Brolley Genster 1. Another heavy downpour expected; authorities on alert [1] With heavy rainfall expected again this week, authorities are on high alert to prevent further damages during the monsoon season, especially down south. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety called an emergency meeting Sunday as the Korea Meteorological Administration forecast torrential rains in Busan, Gangwon Province, and other regions that have yet to recover from a recent downpour. The weather agency issued a special warning about landslides in Busan due to loose soil after the area got 200 millimeters of rain on Thursday. *high alert: 삼엄한 경계, 만반의 준비를 하다 *monsoon season: 장마철 *torrential rain, downpour: 폭우 *landslide: 산사태, (선거에서) 압도적 승리 [2] In preparation for what could be the final challenge of this year’s monsoon season, the ministry ordered affected areas to expedite the recovery process and asked regional authorities to prepare in case emergency evacuations are necessary. *in preparation for: ~의 준비(대비)로 *expedite: 신속히 처리하다 *in case: ~의 경우에 [3] Busan, which was hit with up to 80 millimeters rainfall per hour, was thrown into chaos as subway stations were flooded and streets turned into streams with waist-high waters. Construction sites saw an influx of water and mud. Around 215.5 millimeters of rain poured on Ulsan, flooding sidewalks and triggering flash floods. Dozens of damages were filed with municipal authorities. *up to: ~까지, ~만큼 *influx: 유입, 밀려듦 *municipal: 지방 자치제의 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200726000111&ACE_SEARCH=1 2. Underwater summit holds key to future of two Koreas in ‘Steel Rain 2’ [1] How would the leaders of South Korea, North Korea and the United States prevent a war from happening on the Korean Peninsula on a stealth submarine some 300 meters under the water? “Steel Rain 2: Summit” takes this highly unlikely premise and looks at the ongoing inter-Korean conflict. The film kicks off by showing heightening military tensions between the US and China and the impending complications for the surrounding nations -- the two Koreas and Japan. *stealth: 스텔스기의(레이더가 탐지하기 힘들게 만든), 잠행, 몰래 *premise: 전제 *kick off: (경기를) 시작하다 [2] While tension hangs over the Korean Peninsula, US President Smoot, played by Scottish actor Angus Macfadyen, and North Korean leader Cho Seon-sa, played by Yoo Yeon-suk, hold a summit in the port city of Wonsan in North Korea. South Korean President Han Kyung-jae, portrayed by Jung Woo-sung, accompanies them as a mediator. *played by, portrayed by: 연기한 *mediator: 중재인 [3] Although the upcoming movie is a sequel to the 2017 film, the plot is completely different. If the first film was a fantasy envisioning the hermit kingdom’s collapse through a coup and the outbreak of military conflict between the two Koreas, the follow-up shows a more realistic approach to the situation on the Korean Peninsula -- which, fundamentally speaking, involves more than just the two countries. *sequel: 속편 *hermit: 은둔자 *coup: 쿠데타 *outbreak: 발생 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200726000128&ACE_SEARCH=1…
진행자: 임현수, Kevin Lee Selzer 1. Korea may start charging passengers arriving with COVID-19 [1] South Korean health officials said Tuesday they may start charging passengers arriving with COVID-19 for medical expenses, if the coronavirus influx continues to place a strain on the medical capacity. *influx: (사람 등이) 밀어닥침 *strain: 부담, 중압감 *capacity: 수용력 [2] Yoon Tae-ho, director general for public health policy at the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said in a regular closed-door briefing that the government may have to start asking arriving patients to pay parts of their medical bills, should the pandemic persist. Under the current regulations, the government covers all of the treatment and testing costs for confirmed patients. *persist: 집요하게 계속하다 *cover: 커버하다, 덮다 [3] “Accumulating cases could pose a burden on the state health insurance system. Covering all of the costs may not prove sustainable in the long run,” he said. *pose: 제기하다 *burden: 부담 *sustainable: 지속가능한 *in the long run: 장기전 [4] According to the National Health Insurance Service, treating a COVID-19 patient costs around 3.31 million won to 70 million won, depending on the severity of symptoms. *severity: 심각성 2. Walking above Seoul [1] Lotte World Adventure will launch its Sky Bridge Tour program Friday from the top of its observatory, Seoul Sky, at Lotte World Tower. *observatory: 천문대 [2] Lotte World Tower, a 123-story skyscraper in eastern Seoul, will add the Sky Bridge Tour program to its activity list. The program allows participants to cross the outdoor Sky Bridge, which connects the tower’s two structures. *structure: 구조물 [3] The 11-meter bridge is situated 541 meters above ground. It will be the first time the tower’s uppermost structures are opened to the public. Tour participants can enjoy a 360-degree view of Seoul. *Uppermost: 가장 위의 [4] The one-hour tour can accommodate up to 12 people at a time. The tour begins from Sky Station on the 117th floor. After receiving safety instructions, the participants can put on safety gear and a brief tour of Seoul Sky will follow. *accommodate: 수용하다 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200721000847…
진행자: 임정요, Kevin Lee Selzer 1. Is she real? Artificial humans move to the fore [1] If the names Miquela or Imma ring a bell, you have been keeping up with the growing demographic of digital humans. Miquela and Imma are Instagram influencers, respectively followed by 2.48 million and 200,000 users. They are computer-generated imageries, but have pretty realistic personal descriptions. *ring a bell: 들어본 적이 있다, 낯익다 *demographic: 인구분포도 *influencer: (신조어) 영향력이 있는 사람 [2] With the coronavirus pandemic, noncontact has become a buzzword in business. Interest in digital humans is growing, Kim said, but this doesn’t mean CGI humans will ever eclipse real people. “Making the digital human, commanding tasks and carrying out their maintenance is all humans’ doing,” Kim said, “All matters have two sides. If graphics replace humans at work, there will inevitably arise new jobs for humans to operate these digital characters,” said Kim Hyung-il, CEO of Sua Digital in an interview with The Korea Herald. *noncontact: 언택트 *buzzword: 유행어 *~'s doing: 누구의 소행이다 *replace: 대체하다 *inevitable: 불가피하다 *operate: 운용하다 [3] The question remains: Why do humans create other human-looking things? Why should artificial intelligence take on the form of a biped, with an inviting smile and a helpful tone of voice? “To ask if (digital humans) is unnatural would be an oxymoron. Because humans are not natural to begin with. We do things other animals don’t. We may feel ethical discomfort at humans playing god, but this is the innate characteristic of humans that is difficult to change,” Lee Taek-gwang, a professor of cultural studies at Kyung Hee University in Seoul. *the question remains: 의문이 남다 *biped: 이족보행의 *inviting: 친절한 *oxymoron: 역설 *discomfort: 불편함 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200708000946 2. Being a foreign student during COVID-19 pandemic [1] COVID-19 was an unexpected twist that has profoundly changed how we live in South Korea. But for foreign students seeking to make most of their time here, the coronavirus is the ultimate unwelcome guest. *twist: 뒤틀림, 반전 twists and turns; surprise twist; twist ending profound – deep; by a great measure *unwelcome guest: 불청객 – guests, like fish, stink after a few days [2] Vokhidjon Kakhramonov, an Uzbek student at Korea University, said one of the difficulties at the beginning was to buy a mask. Now, another difficulty is that international travel is almost impossible. “I missed my family so much and wanted to go back to my country this summer. But I couldn’t find plane tickets,” he said. Being under self-quarantine for two weeks upon arrival at Uzbekistan and another two weeks upon his return to Korea is also a burden. “It means I lose one month.” *almost impossible: 거의 불가능하다 nigh impossible – impractical *burden: 무게, 부담 – heavy weight; cumbersome responsibility [3] As Korea grapples with a continued influx of infections coming from overseas, the government made it mandatory for all international arrivals to self-quarantine for two weeks on April 1 and it is toughening its rules to dissuade unnecessary international travel. *grapple: 고심하다 wrestle; contend; fight *influx: 유입 inflow; rush (in); outflow, outpouring *dissuade: 저지하다 persuade, encourage 기사원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200713000896…

[1] A South Korean national who operated the world’s largest child pornography website will not be sent to the US to face trial there, a local court ruled Monday, rejecting a US request for his extradition. *face trial: 법정에 서다 *reject: 거부하다 *extradition: 송환 [2] The Seoul High Court, at its third and final hearing on the high-profile case, said that there are justifiable reasons not to extradite Son Jong-woo, the mastermind behind the US-based child porn website Welcome to Video. It is in the national interest to keep Son in Korea and further the ongoing investigation into the makings of child and adolescent pornography, it added. *hearing: 심문, 공청회 *high-profile: 유명한, 널리 알려진 *mastermind behind~: 배후에서 지휘하는 자 *be in the national interest: 국익에 대한 것이다 *investigation into: -에 대한 조사 [3] Following the decision, Son was set free from a detention center. The child porn site operator has remained in detention since completing his prison sentence on April 27. *be set free: 풀려나다 *detention: 구금 *prison sentence: 징역형 [4] The 24-year-old has been wanted by US authorities since a US federal grand jury indicted him in 2018 on nine charges, including producing, advertising and distributing child pornography, as well as conspiracy and money laundering. *US federal grand jury: 연방 대배심 *be wanted by: 지명수배되다 *indict: 기소하다 *conspiracy: 불법공모 *money laundering: 자금세탁 기사 원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200706000708 2.

진행: 임현수, Paul Kerry 1. ‘Legislate against discrimination,’ human rights body urges lawmakers [1] Korea’s state human rights watchdog on Tuesday urged the freshly elected parliament to pass the highly contested anti-discrimination act in what is its first public endorsement of the legislation in 14 years. *watchdog: 감시단체 *urge: 권고하다 *freshly: 새롭게 *highly-contested: 경쟁이 심한 *anti-discrimination: 차별금지 [2] In a press conference held at the National Human Rights Commission of Korea headquarters in central Seoul, the institution’s chairperson Choi Young-ae said Korea was lagging behind its international counterparts by failing to legislate against discrimination. *lag behind: ~에 뒤쳐지다 *counterpart: 대응 상대 [3] “Most member states of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) have adopted some forms of laws barring discrimination. Korea is one of the few that remain without one,” she said. *bar: 막다 *a form of: 형태의 [4] Choi said the bill aims to penalize discriminatory practices on grounds of a person’s sexual orientation, gender, age, race, religion and others. Those found guilty will face jail time of up to three years or 30 million won or less in fine. *penalize: 벌을 주다 *on grounds of: ~를 이유로 기사전문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200630000900&np=1&mp=1 2. Sunmi embraces girl power, praises Hwasa and Chung Ha [1] Sunmi is tackling city pop in her new single “pporappippam” which is slated for release Monday. *tackle: 씨름하다 *is slated for: ~로 예정된 [2] While known for her dance-pop sound, the new song -- which translates to purple night in Korean -- sees the singer incorporate elements of city pop into her signature upbeat pop sound -- a subset of pop music originated in Japan in the ’70s. *incorporate: 포함하다 *signature: 특징있는 *subset: 부분 집합 [3] “Imagine a breeze that cools you down on a summer day at sunset after a hot day and you are looking up to the sky at a café terrace.

진행: 임정요, Kevin Lee Selzer 1. Leafleting: decisive propaganda or empty provocation? [1] Even in the 21st century with all its technical wizardry and social media, old-fashioned propaganda leaflets seem to matter a great deal on Korean Peninsula, the world’s last remaining Cold War frontier. *wizardry: 마법 *social media: SNS *old-fashioned: 고전적인 *propaganda leaflets: 삐라, 선전 전단지 *frontier: 국경 [2] The act of flying huge gas-filled balloons carrying leaflets and other materials denouncing the rival regime has lately become the source of sudden ratcheting up of tensions between the two Koreas. *denounce: 비난하다 *ratcheting up: 증가시키다 *tension: 긴장감 [3] Enraged by defectors here sending anti-North Korea leaflets across the border, Pyongyang last week publicly blew up the inter-Korean liaison office in its border city Kaesong, which served as a de facto embassy between the two Koreas. It warned to take further actions, including sending its own propaganda leaflets across the Southern border. *enraged: 격노하다 *defector: 탈북자 *blew up: 폭발시키다 *liaison office: 연락 사무소 *de facto: 실질적인 기사전문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200621000197 2.

Kim said that the demolition is an act that goes against hopes for peace, and that the North has sole responsibility for all consequences that may follow. *strong regret: 강한 유감 [4] “We sternly warn that we will respond strongly if the North continues to take actions that deteriorate the situation.” *sternly warn: 엄중히 경고 *deteriorate: 악화되다 [5] The liaison office was established in September 2018, as agreed to by the two sides during the first summit between President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un held on April 27. *as agreed to by two sides: 양측이 동의한 것에 따라 기사 전문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200616000811 2.

Cabin fever sets in for those in isolation for coronavirus [1] A 32-year-old librarian in Gumi-dong, Gyeonggi Province, who is expecting a baby in May, has not left her house for four days. Her daughter, 4, has been home all day since her day care center shut down due to the COVID-19 outbreak. “I am pregnant so I am very cautious about the ongoing situation, and there is no place for my first child to play these days. ... It is really stressful for me and my daughter,” the woman said. “Over the past four days, a 15-minute walk to the grocery store to buy some food was all I left the house for.” *expecting: 임신한 *day care center: 어린이집 *cautious: 주의깊다 *ongoing: 진행중인 [2] As the number of novel coronavirus cases continues to spike, people have begun to isolate themselves as a form of voluntary quarantine.

The method (of transmission) is uncertain, it is difficult to predict and it is unclear when it will end,” Yoon said. “A lot of energy is spent, but there are very few means for recharging, such as meeting with people for small talk, going out for cultural events or appreciating nature. Burnout happens easily. Then we may have depression,” Yoon explained. “Although resources are limited, people need to seek ways to alleviate negative emotions, such as taking up a hobby at home or talking to family members,” Yoon advised. *regard: 간주하다 *draining: 피로하게끔 하다 *constantly: 멈추지 않고, 계속해서, 끊임없이 *predict: 예측하다 *unclear: 불투명하다 *means: 방법 *alleviate: 완화시키다 기사 전문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200303000763 2.
