책을 만들 때 제일 어려운 점은 '많은 내용을 어떻게 보기 좋게 정리하느냐'이다. 일본 수출 계획을 짜고, 단어장에 대한 제안들을 수렴하여, 거의 2년 만에 책의 틀을 잡았다. Korea Herald 독자 여러분께 그 단어장을 먼저 선보인다. 일본은 긴 문장이나 설명을 좋아하지 않고, 작은 책 판형으로 쉽고 편하게 읽을 수 있는 책을 선호한다. 우리나라에서 주로 보는, 두꺼운 단어책에 기겁을 하는 나라이다. 필자는 국내 출간도 염두에 두고, 두 마리 토끼를 잡기 위해 단어- 짧은 어구 – 시험 포인트 – 예문 순서로 단어장을 구성했다. 초급자나 마음이 급한 분들은 어구와 시험 포인트만 보면 되고 제대로 공부할 사람들은 전체 내용을 보면 되는 구성이다. 두 회에 걸쳐 독자분들께 원고를 공개해 본다. 실용 영단어라 영어를 공부하는 누구에게나 도움이 될 것이다. abnormally - abnormally high.

Humanity is about to turn a major population corner, according to a new estimate. A recent article in the Lancet predicts that by 2030, we’ll no longer be reproducing fast enough to replace ourselves. We aren’t about to go extinct, but this is an unexpected trajectory. As recently as 2017, the United Nations predicted human numbers wouldn’t peak until 2100 when we’d reach more than 11 billion people. According to the new estimate, our numbers could rise from the curr

Following the battle of balloons between South Korea and North Korea with leaflets and trash, ominous scuffles are continuing in the Demilitarized Zone on the Korean Peninsula. According to a briefing by the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff on Monday, dozens of North Korean soldiers were killed or injured when landmines exploded around the border. Separately, dozens of North Korean soldiers crossed the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) and retreated to the north of the line after receiving

이번 회에는 저희 책 Advanced Vocab에서 소개한 중상급 영단어들을 알려드립니다. 단어의 우리말 뜻을 기억하는 데에 그치지 않고, 난이도 있는 단어를 실제로 활용하는 단계까지 나아가 보기 바랍니다. 〈신체, 건강, 의학〉 1. diarrhea [dàiəríːə] 설사 dia(through)+rrhea(flow라는 뜻)로 구성된 단어. ‘흐른다’는 의미를 담고 있으며 ‘설사’를 뜻한다. 특히 배변에 관련된 말은 잘못 표현하면 아주 우스꽝스러워지기 쉬운데 ‘변’을 지칭하는 가장 중립적인 표현은 feces이며 ‘변을 보다’는 defecate라고 한다. defecate을 make a bowel movement처럼 말하기도 한다. One of the unfortunate side effects of food poisoning is diarrhea. 식중

The way to defeat the populist far right, it seems, is to oppose it tooth and nail. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk can attest to that. Since ousting Poland’s populist Law and Justice (PiS) party from power last fall, he has been uncompromising in opposing the anti-democratic illiberalism that it represents. And in the European Parliament election, his Civic Coalition (KO) had the best performance of all major mainstream parties in the EU, securing a surprising 37.1 percent of the vote

By Won Jae-chun, professor of International Law and Director of International Law, Handong Global University Otto Warmbier, an American college student whose life was tragically cut short after his imprisonment in North Korea, remains a poignant symbol of youthful curiosity and the stark realities of international injustice. As we commemorate his life and reflect on his legacy, we are reminded of the importance of seeking truth, justice, and accountability. Life full of promise Otto Warmbier was

June 25 is the 74th anniversary of the Korean War. In 2050, The Korean War will be a century-old tragic disaster that devastated the Korean Peninsula in the mid-20th century. Sadly, it has already become “the forgotten war,” and by 2050, perhaps no one will remember it at all. Still, however, a question arises, “Will South Korea be safe and sound until 2050?” We certainly hope so. Yet, considering belligerent North Korea’s frequent provocations, we cannot ignore the

Hyundai Rotem, in partnership with Hyundai Motor Group, has unveiled its HR-Sherpa autonomous vehicle, the fourth generation designed for versatile military applications, including surveillance, reconnaissance, combat and logistical support.
