Korean Pilots Face Crisis over ICAO English Evaluations Many pilots from Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are on the verge of being cut out from international routes starting 2008. This is because the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations, has decided to evaluate the English conversation ability of airline pilots and air traffic controllers from non-English speaking nations in order to reduce the number of accidents, and those who fail to pass those evaluations would be taken off international lines.
Korean pilots and air traffic controllers cannot shake the stigma of having the worst English conversation skills on the international lines. There is talk that the ICAO's primary target was Northeast Asia, and Korea in particular. This is because of Korea's record of accidents resulting from the poor English skills of its pilots.
During the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, a Korean Air passenger liner was nearly shot down by U.S. fighter jets that had made a sortie after mistaking the craft for a hijacked jet. It was learned that the pilot's poor English skills played a large part in this incident. http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200410/200410150024.html

日本で、日本人は人種差別が大好きと騒いで金儲けをしてる、日本人帰化した元アメリカ白人、有道出人(あるどうでびと)David Aldwinckleの出身地で起きた事件 last April 11, a group of mostly Japanese and Asian American Syracuse University students went to eat in the early morning hours at the Denny's restaurant on Erie Boulevard East just outside of campus. The students charge that they were denied seating, asked to leave the restaurant, and then were attacked by a gang of white patrons shouting anti-Asian epithets in the restaurant's parking lot. According to the students, the incident began when their group was forced to wait for nearly a half-hour. After watching white patrons who arrived after them be seated first, one of the students, Li Chiu, went to complain to the hostess about the discriminatory treatment. She replied, "Don't even go there!" A manager then asked the students to leave, and they were escorted outside by two armed security guards who were also off-duty deputy sheriffs, pushing and shoving two of the students, Derrick Lizardo and his white friend Sean Dugan, in the process. Outside the restaurant as they were approaching their cars to leave, the students say a group of white men who had been eating inside the restaurant came outside yelling racial slurs and, without provocation, attacked Yuya Hasegawa. As Lizardo and Dugan tried to come to their friend's aid, they too were attacked. Meanwhile, they charge, the two security guards watched without intervening as the attack continued. They also charge that one of the guards used pepper spray against Lizardo during the attack and threatened to use it against some of the others as well. "I stood by and watched as two armed and uniformed security guards began shoving my friends for no apparent reason
But what was even worse, when we were attacked by a large group of white males, clearly outnumbered and out-muscled, the security guards did absolutely nothing to stop the attack," Yoshika Kusada tearfully told reporters at a press conference last month at the offices of the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the New York-based advocacy group that is representing the students. "I begged the security guards for help--'Do something, why aren't you doing anything?'--over and over." Kusada said she was knocked unconscious after trying to pull an attacker off of one of her friends. She said the fight only stopped when two black students, who were in a separate party, intervened to end the fight. Kyoko Hiraoka, one of the Japanese students, said, "I think that in this country there is no justice. I'm so disappointed that this report didn't tell the truth. I now have to live in fear of being attacked again because they're free." The district attorney's report contradicted the findings of a report by a federal Civil Rights Monitor who recommended that the manager who ordered the students to leave the restaurant be fired and the hostess be suspended without pay. The monitor also recommended that the deputies, who are no longer Denny's employees, not be rehired. The monitor found that the employees had not received necessary nondiscrimination training and recommended that Denny's develop a new video-based training program. http://www.asianweek.com/091997/dennys.html http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=2nd&navby=case&no=009015v2&exact=1 http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/19970606/15750843.html http://maps.yahoo.com/dd_result?ed=xTowJeV.wimQQVd6MsEKU7USFw--&csz=Geneva%2C+NY&country=us&tcsz=Syracuse%2C+NY&tcountry=us

Koo is accused of trying to protect accused human traffickers Wun Kang and his wife Kyongja Kang by joining a plot to put one of their victims onto a flight to South Korea after she told authorities she would blow the whistle on the smuggling scheme. The Kangs are accused of helping South Korean women come to the United States for a $10,000 fee, promising they could work off their debt by hostessing at the couple's Flushing, Queens bar. The women — who are cooperating with federal investigators — were promised they would not be required to have sex, according to court papers. But as soon as they were in the U.S., Wun Kang allegedly suggested they could earn more money by sleeping with customers. After they repeatedly refused to prostitute themselves, Kang allegedly threatened to kill them and made plans to sell them to a brothel in Chinatown http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/38051.htm

In Washington County, he also faces 16 counts of possessing child pornography after police say they discovered those types of images on his computer. Sung Koo Kim was initially arrested in early May, about a week and a half before 19-year-old Brooke Wilberger disappeared from a Corvallis apartment complex where Kim had allegedly been stalking an OSU swimmer. http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1107522003244970.xml Authorities accused Kim, a somewhat reclusive 30-year-old who lived with his parents, of traveling to college campuses up and down the Willamette Valley to steal thousands of pairs of panties. The burglaries, they allege, were part of an obsession that left him with a vast collection of pornography depicting violence against women and, in a few cases, images of children. A police task force investigating Wilberger's May 24 disappearance from a Corvallis apartment complex was intrigued by Kim's links to the apartments. They suspected Kim of stealing panties and lint from a clothes drier in the complex, cyber-stalking an OSU swimmer who resembled Wilberger and searching the Internet for nations without extradition treaties with the United States.
The new strategies are aimed at intensifying efforts to track and freeze financial transactions that officials say enable the Government of Kim Jong-il to profit from counterfeiting, drug trafficking and the sale of missile and other weapons technology. In interviews over the past three weeks, Administration officials denied the effort was part of an unstated initiative to topple Mr Kim.
Several said North Korea had stepped up its illicit trafficking and counterfeiting to help make up for lost missile sales and a crackdown on cash transfers from North Koreans living in Japan, some of which are illegal.

The University of Chicago Ask Mu Yung Shin (not her real name), presently a prostitute at a Korean massage parlor in Dallas. →Abducted at the age of 14 from her village home in South Korea by a group of Korean criminals, she was repeatedly raped, then sent to one of the infamous "sex farms" used by the South Korean army, where she was made a sex slave for two years. In the early nineties she was moved to the US legally through a sham marriage with an American GI and has served ever since as a Korean massage parlor prostitute in various locales stretching from Chicago and Houston to New York City1. →Mu Yung Shin is just one of several thousand Korean women abducted, raped, and virtually enslaved by the multimillion-dollar international prostitution network run by the Korean Killers, or KK. Korean Killers, and other major Korean gangs in the US such as Korean Power, based in New York, deal not only in prostitution, but in drug trafficking, extortion, and firebombings, mostly directed against the Korean community. Take Tae Sook Lee (not his real name), a longtime member of the Korean Killers based in Los Angeles' Koreatown. With two accomplices, called his "enforcers," Tae would visit Korean businesses in the area, mostly car dealerships, and demand payments of money ranging from $30,000 to $50,000. If threats and intimidation failed to net him the money, arson would result.

Korean Air jet may have narrowly missed disaster Pilots on Korean Air Flight 85 mistakenly issued a hijack alert at 1:24 p.m. ET as they neared Alaska on the way to Anchorage. Military officials, who had ordered two F-15 fighters to tail the jet, told Anchorage air traffic controllers that they would shoot it down if it did not turn away from populated areas, several sources told USA TODAY. During the next 90 minutes, officials on the ground launched evacuations in Anchorage, at the Trans Alaska Pipeline and in Whitehorse, the capitol of Canada's Yukon Territory. Scanning every communication it transmitted that day, it found something suspicious sent by the Korean jet. The Seoul-to-New York flight was headed for a refueling stop in Anchorage. In a message sent at 11:08 a.m. ET to Korean Air's base, the pilots included the letters "HJK" — a code for hijacked. Instead of reassuring controllers, the Korean pilots declared themselves hijacked at 1:24 p.m. They set their transponder, which transmits information about the flight to radars, to the four-digit universal code for hijacked — 7500. Suddenly, more than an hour after the skies emptied over the lower 48 states, a routine flight became a potential new attacker. With two F-15s tracking Flight 85, NORAD officers told officials at the Anchorage center that they would shoot down the airliner if it continued, the sources said. Air traffic officials ordered the jet to turn wide of Alaska's largest city. Canadian air traffic officials agreed to let the jet land there, but its approach set off a new wave of evacuations.

AI reached its results based on International Civil Aviation Organization statistics such as numbers of accidents, fatalities, flights and passengers. The No. 1 airline was Australia's famously safe Qantas, while Turkish Airlines finished last. Finland's Finnair, Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific and Japan's ANA followed Qantas on AI's list. Virgin Atlantic and Southwest Airlines of the U.S. and British Airways rounded out the top 10.

The Cabinet last Wednesday decided to draft measures that prohibit any brutal slaughtering of dogs and set hygiene guidelines on the processing and sale of dog meat. Seen as a move to bring the sale of dog meat under control and as a result officially recognize the controversial practice as legal, the government announcement drew immediate responses from animal rights activists and some people who oppose the time-old practice of eating dogs. “Setting a hygiene standard on dog meat means nothing but legalizing the dog meat industry,” the Korea Animal Protection Society stated in a news release. “We cannot believe the government is moving to legalize the dog-eating practice of some Koreans, which is not only harmful for national interests but also disgraceful and reproachable.” The Web sites of Cheong Wa Dae and other related government offices were hit with a flurry of postings following the announcement, with some supporting Koreans' dog-eating tradition and the government decision and others strongly criticizing the government for not outlawing such a 'barbarian' conduct. 「冬季オリンピックに立候補するらしいけど犬猫食い止めないと無理だな」でも書いて送る?

読みやすい英字紙もいいが 英語が読めるなら、たまにはネットで外紙も読んだら U.S. Cites Signs of Korean Preparations for Nuclear Test http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/06/international/asia/ 06korea.html?hp&ex=1115438400&en=773ed03c17edc59c&ei=5094&partner=homepage という凄い特ダネもあるしね
この程度なら読めるだろ WASHINGTON, May 5 - White House and Pentagon officials are closely monitoring a recent stream of satellite photographs of North Korea that appear to show rapid, extensive preparations for a nuclear weapons test, including the construction of a reviewing stand, presumably for dignitaries, according to American and foreign officials who have been briefed on the imagery. Bush administration officials, when asked Thursday about the burst of activity at a suspected test site in the northeastern part of the country, cautioned that satellites could not divine the intentions of Kim Jong Il, North Korea's leader, and said it was possible that he was putting on a show for American spy satellites. They said the North Koreans might be trying to put pressure on President Bush to offer a improved package of economic and diplomatic incentives to the desperately poor country in exchange for curtailing its nuclear activities. "The North Koreans have learned how to use irrationality as a bargaining tool," a senior American official said Thursday evening. "We can't tell what they are doing."
1番目のご質問ですが,まず,最低限読めるとはどのような状態を指すのか定義 する必要があります。記事に出てくるすべての単語のうち,95%わかれば,記事 を読むことができると言われております。そこで,実際に,The Japan Times等 の記事を使って調査した結果があって,8000語の語彙力があれば,The Japan Times に出てくる単語のうちの95%はカバーできるそうです。従って,8000語が一つの 目安になると思います。
以前,どこかのblogでThe Japan Timesの英文とTOEICのREADINGの英文を分析して, 使われている単語が非常に似ているので,The Japan Timesを読んでいれば,TOIEC のREADINGに効果があるかもしれないという記事を読んだことがあります。どのblog なのかは失念してしまいました。
The victim was 21-year-old Japanese national Eimi Yamada, said Lt. Richard Hanna of the Los Angeles County Coroner's O ffice.
Deputies were responding to a prowler call in the 6800 block of La Presa Avenue just before 2 a.m. when they received another call reporting a body less than a quarter-mile away in the 8500 block of Palma Vista Avenue.
Neighbors told ABC7 the victim was attending school and that the suspect was the woman's boyfriend.
Neighbors told the TV station the victim was quiet, but that they often saw Pigman skateboarding in the neighborhood and had heard the couple arguing before.
"We had heard a lot of arguing, and the boy just didn't understand her, so it's very sad,' neighbor Gay Beck said.
Japan has long been North Korea's shopping mall of choice when it comes to military components. It has the advantages of proximity, advanced technology and a large population of ethnic Koreans, many with family ties to the North or to the pro-Pyongyang General Assn. of Korean Residents in Japan.

Asahi Weekly の単語熟語解説は間違いが多すぎる。 例えばさっき買ってきた今週号(5/15)の英総選挙結果の記事。 ReutersとAFP-Jijiから編集したらしいが、次の部分はひどい。 『Labor obtained 356 seats in the 646-seat House... (中略)The outcome meant Blair's majority has been slashed by more than half to a projected 66...』 この "a projected 66" は「予想される66議席」と解説がある。 どう見ても、66は与野党の議席数の差=356-(646-356) 頼りにしているのに、これじゃ困るなぁ。 >ASAHI WEEKLYは朝日新聞社が発行する英語学習者のための >英和新聞です

倒置でまったく問題ないですよ。 BE動詞を挟んでSとOの配置が前後逆になるというのは良くあるケース。 問題の文を少し長く引用します。 >Spurring the robots' development has been vehement >condemnation of human rights groups, who say the sport >abuses child jockeys who normally take the reins. >So, race organaizers plan to have 20 riding robots >ready when racing season starts in October.
原文一文を訳してみました。 Spurring the robots' development has been vehement condemnation of human rights groups, who say the sport abuses child jockeys who normally take the reins. 「ロボットの開発に拍車をかけたのは、人権団体の猛烈な抗議であった。 彼らは、その競技が通常馬の手綱を取っている子供の騎手達の虐待に あたると主張する」
倒置の部分を普通の語順に直すと [Vehement condemnation of human rights groups] has been spurring [the robots' development]. (人権団体の猛烈な抗議がロボットの開発に拍車をかけてきた) →(人権団体が猛烈に抗議したためにロボットの開発が推し進められる ようになった)
Vehement condemnation of human rights groups has been spurring the robots' development. They say the sport abuses child jockeys who normally take the reins.
などとなって、human rights groups を受ける代名詞 They が必要となり しかも位置が離れてしまう。 原文のように倒置にして human rights groups を最後に持ってきて、 関係代名詞の継続用法 [ 〜 , who] でつなぐ方がスムーズに文意が とれるからです。

My Lai massacre hero dies at 62 Hugh Thompson Jnr, a former US military helicopter pilot who helped stop one of the most infamous massacres of the Vietnam War has died, aged 62.
Mr Thompson and his crew came upon US troops killing civilians at the village of My Lai on 16 March 1968.
He put his helicopter down between the soldiers and villagers, ordering his men to shoot their fellow Americans if they attacked the civilians.
"There was no way I could turn my back on them," he later said of the victims.
Two soldiers who stopped their comrades from slaughtering innocent civilians during the Vietnam War 30 years ago have been awarded the Soldier's Medal.
