요즘 하고 있는 영어뉴스 쉐도잉. 유투버 bridgeTV의 해당 동영상을 보고 시작한지 약 3주가 넘어간다. 

 

동영상 간단 요약 : 해당 페이지를 방문한다(무료) www.npr.org/

1. 대본이 있는 기사를 고른다.
2. 먼저 대본을 보고 내식으로 읽고 녹음한다. 
3. 라디오를 들으면서 끊어 읽어야 하는 부분을 표시한다.
4. 다시 들으면서 강조하는 단어에 굵게 표시한다.
5. 다시 또 들으면서 연음이나 길게 발음 하는 부분을 표시한다.
6. 반복해서 듣고 따라하면서 최대한 비슷해질때까지 반복
7. 녹음한다.

Under President Trump's executive order, /TikTok would be banned in the U.S. starting / next month. Today/ NPR learned that the company plans to take the Trump administration to court /over the order. Its legal argument is that/ Trump's executive order./ is unconstitutional. For more, /we're joined by NPR's technology reporter Bobby Allyn.

What makes this case pretty remarkable /is that it's been nine months/ since Easterbrook was fired. The reason/ - a consensual relationship with an employee /that /amounted to/ sexting. And American corporate culture /typically is /all about sorting these kinds of internal scandals /quickly and behind closed doors. Here's Tim Hubbard, a professor at the University of Notre Dame.

So as a reminder, this process happens when somebody first tests positive for COVID-19. As quickly as possible, public health workers call them /and ask them to name and/ give contact info for their close contacts, people/ they may have exposed,/ so that those people can quarantine. And some of the data that comes out of this has to do with the process - how quickly health workers are able to reach out, /how many people answer and cooperate, that kind of thing. But you can / also learn about /where transmission is happening in these interviews. If a lot of people who are positive think they got sick at work,/ for example, /that's really key information that can help policymakers and just regular, everyday people make decisions.

We are going to start /in caveman times. All right. You are a cave man - just go with me here - or a cave woman. Either way, you're pretty hairy, you know, attractive in your own way. But we are roaming /around the savannah. You're fighting for your life every day. You're foraging for food. I mean, danger is everywhere. It's kind of exciting, but it's also kind of scary because /there's wolves and saber-tooth tigers, and they're creeping up behind you all the time. And it's like, whoa.

FADEL: So, Sydney, first, remind us /what remdesivir is and/ why the federal government is allocating it /in the first place.

LUPKIN: Sure. Remdesivir is an experimental COVID-19 drug made by Gilead Sciences. It's an antiviral given to patients in the hospital. And it's one of only a few treatment options doctors have/ for these seriously ill patients. The federal government/ secured nearly all of Gilead's supply from July through September /and has been sending weekly allocations around the country /based on a series of data points, like/ how many patients in a state are hospitalized with the virus. But remdesivir is in short supply, /so that's why fair allocation /is so important.

Fo-ur years ago, /older white voters /played a big role /in helping elect President Trump. But some polls/ now suggest Joe Biden/ is making inroads with seniors, in part/ because of Trump's ha-ndling of the coronavirus. Still,/ many of these older, more conservative voters say they're deeply conflicted/ about /how to vote this November. Some tell NPR/ they're sticking with Trump. NPR's Brian Mann/ has more.

 

8/26

BRIAN MANN, BYLINE: America's population gets more diverse every year, a trend that/ mo-stly favors Democrats,/which is why older/ white /voters are s-o important to Donald Trump. Robert Griffin with the De'mocracy Fund Voter Study Group /says Trump actually needs /even more support from seniors to win a second term.

ROBERT GRIFFIN: It's not just that Trump had to /sort of ho-ld steady. He actually had to in'crease his margins a bit/ relative to 2016 - again, just given how the country is changing demogra'phically.

To Louisi'ana now, /where it could be/ three more weeks at le-ast /before tens of thousands of people in the path of Hurricane Laura /get their power back. In hard-hit Lake Charles,/ the mayor is be-gging, /ple-ading for Americans n-ot to forget about the de'vastation in his city, /especially with s-o many other competing national crises. NPR's Kirk Siegler reports.

KIRK SIEGLER, BYLINE: In Lake Charles, broken glass from office buildings is all over the streets. A man is sho-veling it away in front of City Hall. Driving around, there are downed power lines. Ma-ngled traffic lights are da-ngling precariously in intersections./ This city will take any go-od news it ca-n, says Mayor Nic Hunter,/ even/ an announcement that 95% of the streets here/ are now at least /'navigable.

With / just/ weeks/ left until the election, more evidence is coming out about ho-w Russia/ is again/ interfering. Facebook has confirmed that/ it has removed accounts/ linked to Russian state actors /who were trying to spread false stories. Those stories/ were-aimed-at influ'encing /the outcome /of the November vote. NPR's tech reporter Bobby Allyn is covering this-and joins us now. Good morning, Bobby.
