1. They say that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure and one school teacher in the UK is now much richer after finding a rare copy of a Harry Potter book that had been thrown away in a skip. Sometimes it really does pay to sort your trash properly!

 

그들은 한 사람의 쓰레기가 다른 사람의 보물이고 영국의 한 학교 선생님이 스킵으로 버려진 희귀한 해리포터 책을 발견한 후 이제 훨씬 더 부유해졌다고 말한다. 때때로 쓰레기를 제대로 분류하는 것은 정말 효과가 있다!

 

sort - to put things in a particular order or arrange them in groups according to size, type etc 

ex) The eggs are sorted according to size.

sort something into something 

ex) Let’s sort all the clothes into piles. 

ex) All the names on the list have been sorted into alphabetical order.

 

2. We know Bill Clinton best as the 42nd President of the United States of America, but he’s also a bestselling novelist. Clinton has just announced his second collaboration with James Patterson - a crime novel called The President’s Daughter. Due out in June 2021, it promises to be thrilling read.

 

우리는 빌 클린턴을 미국의 42대 대통령으로 가장 잘 알고 있지만, 그는 또한 베스트셀러 소설가다. 클린턴은 얼마 전 제임스 패터슨과의 두 번째 합작품인 '대통령의 딸이라고 불리는 범죄 소설이다. 2021년 6월에 출시될 예정인 이 책은 스릴 넘치는 독서를 약속한다.

 

3. We’re all in need of some good news these days and one story from last week stands out for how lovely it is. Actor Peter Gordon wrote a poem for his wife every day for a quarter of a century and even after her death continues to write. Now his family has set up a website so that everyone can share the love.

 

요즘 우리 모두 좋은 소식이 필요한데 지난주 한 이야기가 얼마나 사랑스러운지 돋보인다. 배우 피터 고든은 25년 동안 매일 아내를 위해 시를 썼고, 심지어 아내가 죽은 후에도 계속해서 시를 썼다. 이제 그의 가족은 모든 사람들이 사랑을 나눌 수 있도록 웹사이트를 만들었다.

"The Trial" by Frank Kafka

 

#

Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K., he knew he had done nothing wrong but, one morning, he was arrested. Every day at eight in the morning he was brought his breakfast by Mrs. Grubach's cook - Mrs. Grubach was his landlady - but today she didn't come. That had never happened before. K. waited a little while, looked from his pillow at the old woman who lived opposite and who was watching him with an inquisitiveness quite unusual for her, and finally, both hungry and disconcerted, rang the bell. There was immediately a knock at the door and a man entered. He had never seen the man in this house before. He was slim but firmly built, his clothes were black and close-fitting, with many folds and pockets, buckles and buttons and a belt, all of which gave the impression of being very practical but without making it very clear what they were actually for.

 

누군가 요제프 K에 대해 거짓말을 하고 있었던 게 분명해, 그는 자신이 잘못한 게 없다는 걸 알고 있었지만, 어느 날 아침, 그는 체포되었다. 매일 아침 8시에 그는 그루바흐 부인의 요리사로부터 아침식사를 받았다. 그루바흐 부인은 그의 집주인이었다. 그러나 오늘은 오지 않았다. 전에는 그런 일이 없었다. K.는 베개에서 조금 기다리며, 맞은편에 사는 노파와 그녀로서는 상당히 특이한 호기심으로 그를 지켜보고 있는 노파를 바라보았고, 마침내 배가 고프기도 하고 당황스럽기도 한 노파가 벨을 눌렀다. 즉시 문을 두드리는 소리가 났고 한 남자가 들어섰다. 그는 전에 이 집에서 그 남자를 본 적이 없었다. 그는 날씬하지만 튼튼하게 체격이 단단했고, 옷은 검은색이고 몸에 밀착되어 있었으며, 주름과 주머니, 버클과 단추와 벨트가 많이 달려있었으며, 이 모든 것은 매우 실용적이지만 실제로 무엇을 위한 것인지 아주 분명하지 않은 인상을 주었다.

 

landlady - a woman who rents a room, building, or piece of land to someone → landlord

 

inquisitive

1. asking too many questions and trying to find out too many details about something or someone 

ex) I’d have asked more questions, but I didn’t want to seem inquisitive.

2. interested in a lot of different things and wanting to find out more about them → curious 

ex) a cheerful, inquisitive little boy 

ex) an inquisitive mind

 

disconcert - to make someone feel slightly confused, embarrassed, or worried

Who was that? A friend? A good person? Somebody who was taking part? Somebody who wanted to help? Was he alone? Was it everyone? Would anyone help? Were there objections that had been forgotten? There must have been some. The logic cannot be refuted, but someone who wants to live will not resist it. Where was the judge he'd never seen? Where was the high court he had never reached? He raised both hands and spread out all his fingers.

But the hands of one of the gentleman were laid on K.'s throat, while the other pushed the knife deep into his heart and twisted it there, twice. As his eyesight failed, K. saw the two gentlemen cheek by cheek, close in front of his face, watching the result. "Like a dog!" he said, it was as if the shame of it should outlive him.

 

누구야? 친구? 좋은 사람? 참여했던 사람? 도와주고 싶은 사람? 혼자였나? 여러분이었나? 누가 좀 도와줄래? 잊혀졌던 반대가 있었는가? 분명히 몇 개 있었을 것이다. 논리는 반박할 수 없지만 살고 싶은 사람은 저항하지 않을 것이다. 그가 본 적이 없는 판사는 어디에 있었을까? 그가 한 번도 닿지 않은 고등법원은 어디에 있었을까? 그는 양손을 들어 손가락을 모두 펴었다.

그러나 한 신사의 손은 K.의 목구멍에 얹혀져 있었고, 다른 손은 칼을 가슴 깊숙이 밀어넣어 거기서 두 번 비틀었다. 시력이 떨어지자 K.는 두 신사가 뺨으로 뺨을 맞대고 얼굴 앞에 바짝 붙어 결과를 지켜보았다. "개처럼!"하고 그가 말하자, 그것은 마치 그 수치심이 그를 능가해야 할 것 같았다.

 

refute - to prove that a statement or idea is not correct SYN rebut

 

outlive

1 to remain alive after someone else has died 

ex) She outlived her husband by 20 years.

2 to continue to exist after something else has ended or disappeared → outlast

ex) Good books have a way of outliving those who want to ban them.
