 <<Listening Booster 1>> - World record sandwich?
 
Iran failed to register what it said would be the world's largest sandwich in the Guinness book of World Recoeds after people rushed forward and began eating it. As the sandwich was being measured, chaos ensued. The 1,500-meter-long sandwich was gone in minutes. Event organizers said video footage of the sandwich would be sent to Guinness officials as evidence.
 
세계에서 가장 긴 샌드위치?
이란에서는 세계에서 가장 긴 샌드위치를 만들었으나 기네스북 등재는 실패했다. 사람들이 몰려들어 먹어버리기 시작했기 때문. 샌드위치의 길이를 재고 있는 동안 혼란이 벌어진 것이다. 1,500미터 길이의 이 샌드위치는 단 몇 분만에 다 없어져버렸다고. 이 행사를 조직한 담당자들은 샌드위치를 퐐영한 동영상을 기네스 관계자들에게 증거로 제출하겠다고 말했다.

 - Doctors warn of rash from mobile phone use
 
Doctors baffled by an unexplained rash on people's ears or cheeks should be on alert! for a skin allergy caused by too much mobile phone use. The British Association of Dermatologists said a red or itchy rash, known as "mobile phone dermatitis," affects people who develop an allergic reaction to the nickel surface on mobile phones after spending long periods of time on the devices.
 
의사들, 휴대전화 사용에 따른 발진 경고
환자들의 귀 또는 볼에 돋은 이유 모를 발진으로 당황하고 있는 의사들이 있다면 휴대전화를 너무 많이 사용한 탓에 생긴 피부 알러지가 아닌지 경계해야 할 것이다. 영국 피부과의 학회에서는 붉고 가려움을 동반하는 이 발진을 '휴대전화 피부염'이라 부르며, 전화기를 오래 사용하면 단말기 표면의 니켈에 알러지 반응을 일으키는 사람들에게 나타난다고 말했다.
