<> - Bun in the oven

Brad : You seem a little happy today, Anna! Something special going on?
Anna : Yes, as a matter of fact, it is! I just found out this morning that I’ve got a bun in the oven!
Brad : Wow! Congratulations! Is it your first?
Anna : No, I have a two-year-old son. This one is my second.
Brad : I see. Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?
Anna : A girl, of course. Oh, I have just so many ideas for a girl’s room!
Brad : I bet your husband is hoping for another boy, isn’t he?
Anna : He doesn’t know yet. I’m going to surprise him with the news when he comes home from work today!

<<아기를 가진 Anna>>
Brad : 오늘 기분이 좀 좋아보이는데요, Anna! 무슨 특별한 일이라도?
Anna : 네, 사실 특별한 일이 있어요! 오늘 아침에 알았는데요, 아기를 가졌답니다.
Brad : 와! 축하해요! 첫 번째 아기인가요?
Anna : 아뇨, 두 살짜리 아들이 있어요. 이번이 둘째 아이에요.
Brad : 그렇군요. 아들이었으면 좋겠어요, 아니면 딸?
Anna : 당연히 딸을 원하죠. 여자아기 방을 꾸밀만한 아이디어가 너무 많아요!
Brad : 남편분은 또 아들이길 원하죠?
Anna : 남편은 아직 몰라요. 오늘 퇴근하면 깜짝 놀래주려고요.

<> - North Korea preparing to restart reactor
- According to a recent report, North Korea is preparing to restart a reactor at the key Yongbyon nuclear complex.
North Korea is restoring a reactor at the key Yongbyon nuclear complex and no longer wants to be removed from a U.S list of countries that sponsor terrorism, a South Korean news agency reported. Hyun Hak-Bong, a chief North Korean negotiator at six-nation talks, told reporters his country is “thoroughly preparing to restart” the reactor and that reporters would “know soon” when his country would do that. But a senior U.S diplomat said the announcement could simply be a bargaining ploy in the long-running negotiations aimed at halting North Korea’s nuclear program.

<<북한 핵시설 재가동 준비>>
북한은 영변 주요 핵시설의 원자로 한 대를 복구하고 있으며 더 이상 미국의 테러 지원국 명단에서 삭제되기를 원하지 않는다고, 한국의 한 통신사가 보도했다. 현학봉 6자회담 북측 협상 대표는 기자들과 만나 북한이 원자로를 “재가동 하기 위한 준비를 철저히 하고 있다,”며 그 시기는 “곧 알게 될 것”이라고 말했다. 하지만 미국의 한 수석 외교관은 이 같은 발표가 북한의 핵 프로그램 중단을 목표로 장기간 이어지고 있는 협상을 유리하게 이끌기 위한 책략에 불과하다고 말했다.
