SCOUTUS = Supreme Court of the United States, 미연방 대법원

• This week, SCOTUS handed the LGBTQ+ community a win. We're (finally) seeing an openly transgender woman compete at the Miss USA pageant.
• SCOTUS sided with a Catholic adoption agency that wouldn't work with same-sex foster parents. 

 

 

To be holding out hope : 희망을 놓치않다

• Crews and officials say they're still holding out hope they'll find survivors. 

 

 

Negligence : 과실 책임

• Negligence?: A 2018 engineering report found "major structural damage" to the building. And the condo board president warned things were getting worse in April, asking residents to pay at least $15 million in a special assessment for repairs. Payments were reportedly supposed to begin this week.

 

 

Big house : 감옥 (우리나라랑 비슷하네요 큰집 ㅋㅋ)

• Who could be going to the 'big house'... Jacob Zuma. Yesterday, South Africa's highest court sentenced the country's former president to 15 months in jail. 

 

 

To pick up in demand for : - 에 대한 수요가 피크를 찍다

• But with demand for travel picking up, UA's hoping to stay aflight.
• Demand has picked up for consumer goods like cars, furniture and electronics, and for industrial commodities like steel, oil, paper and chemicals, the Fed reported.

 

 

Don't pinch yourself : (진짜인지 아닌지 확인하기 위해) 꼬집지 마세요~

• A roundtrip flight to Athens for $234. Tickets to and from Cabo for $191. Honolulu fares from $123. Don't pinch yourself. You're not dreaming.
