이 해설은 당일자 세계 주요 매체(일간지, 주간지, 방송)를 통해 전달되는 국제 정치, 경제, 문화 전반에 걸친 문제를 영어로 다룸으로써 시사 어휘와 유용한 시사 표현을 배우게 해주는 동시에 급변하는 현시대에 걸맞는 국제적인 감각을 갖게 해줄 것입니다. 우리 현실과 밀접한 관련이 있는 내용을 거의 실시간으로 다루므로 흥미롭게 꾸준히 따라가다 보면 자신도 모르게 영어실력(특히 영문독해력, 영어어휘력, 영작문능력)이 늘게 됩니다. 이것은 대학시절 저 자신의 경험을 통해 자신 있게 말씀드릴 수 있습니다. 앞으로 구독자님들의 영어실력이 장족의 발전을 보일 것을 확신합니다. 애청해 주셔서 감사드립니다.
**참고로, 우리말 해석은 가급적 영어의 어순을 따라 진행됩니다. 여기서 해석의 최종목표는 영한 번역훈련이 아니고 영어구사력 향상입니다. 즉, 영문친화적인 해석을 해드립니다. 저는 개인적으로 이런 훌륭한 영어문장들을 꾸준히 암기해서 여러모로 활용하고 있습니다. 대체로 비슷한 문형들이 계속 반복되다 보니 이들을 암기하는 것이 그리 어려운 일은 아닙니다. 가끔씩 시간이 날 때는 그 날 암기한 영문기사를 입으로 중얼중얼하거나 종이에 직접 써보기도 하고 그것을 다시 실제 원문과 대조해 보기도 합니다.

South Korea’s Ex-First Lady Is Arrested on Corruption Charges
Kim Keon Hee, the wife of Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea’s impeached and ousted president, was arrested on ​Tuesday on charges of bribery, stock manipulation and political influence-peddling. She is the only former first lady to be put behind bars in the country’s history.
Mr. Yoon, who was driven from office after his failed attempt to place South Korea under martial law in December, is already in jail and standing trial on insurrection charges. Four other former presidents of South Korea had been imprisoned before, but this is the first time that both a former president and his wife have been jailed in the country.
She has been at the center of a slew of corruption scandals that have plagued her husband’s government and undermined his popularity.
While Mr. Yoon was in power, government prosecutors did not press any charges against Ms. Kim. When the opposition-controlled National Assembly passed bills calling for an independent prosecutor to investigate the allegations against his wife, Mr. Yoon called them politically inspired and vetoed them.
The special counsel accused Ms. Kim of making hundreds of thousands of dollars through stock-price manipulation. Although the alleged crime took place when Mr. Yoon was a prosecutor and before he was elected, the scandal continued to overshadow his presidency. She was also accused of illegally helping a politician get the governing party’s nomination in a parliamentary by-election in June 2022.
The charges against her also included receiving a diamond necklace and two Chanel bags as bribes from a senior official of the Unification Church after Mr. Yoon’s election. The official, who has since left the church, is also under arrest. The church, formally known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, said it had nothing to do with whatever might have taken place between Ms. Kim and the official.
But spy-cam footage later showed her accepting a $2,200 Dior pouch from a visitor to her private office after Mr. Yoon’s inauguration.
Ms. Kim was considered so influential over her husband’s government that South Koreans ​have joked that she was “V.I.P. No. 1” in ​his government, while ​Mr. Yoon was “V.I.P. No. 2.”
