<> - playing with fire

Anna : Why aren’t you telling your husband the truth, Ivy?
Ivy : Because if I get pregnant now, we can’t go on our trip to Hawaii next summer.
Anna : Oh, so you’re saying you’d rather wait.
Ivy : Right. Besides, Todd has been treating me so well since we started trying for a baby,
that I really don’t want to tell him I’m trying not to get pregnant.
Anna : You’re playing with fire, Ivy. If Todd finds out you’re doing this, he’ll be very angry.
Ivy : Maybe. I’ll deal with it when I have to. Oh, by the way, I’m organizing the upcoming Christmas Party.
Anna : Well, I hope you have fun with that.
Ivy : Why, you’re not going to volunteer?

<<너무 위험해>>
Anna : 왜 남편에게 사실대로 말하지 않아요, Ivy?
Ivy : 지금 임신을 하면 내년 여름에 하와이 여행을 못 가니까요.
Anna : 아, 그러니까 좀더 기다리겠다는 말이군요.
Ivy : 맞아요. 그런데 아기를 갖기로 하고서부터 Todd가 너무 잘해줘서,
임신을 안 하려고 한다는 사실을 말하고 싶지가 않아요.
Anna : 너무 위험한 장난인데요, Ivy. 만일 Todd가 알게 되면 정말 화낼텐데.
Ivy : 그러지도 모르죠, 그건 나중에 걱정할래요. 참, 그건 그렇고, 다가오는 크리스마스 파티를
내가 조직하게 됐어요.
Anna : 음, 재미있게 하시길.
Ivy : 왜요, 자원봉사 안 할 거예요?

<> - Texting banned on trains after deadly crash
- The California Public Utilities Commission passed a ban on texting on the job after phone records showed an engineer was sending text messages during work hours on the day of the crash.
The California Public Utilities Commission banned texting on the job after it was shown that a Metrolink train engineer involved in the recent deadly collision near Los Angeles sent text messages from his cell phone. It was not clear what 46-year-old Robert Sanchez was doing at the time of the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigation claims that he was sending text messages when his commuter train slammed into a Union Pacific freight train. Twenty-five people were killed, including Sanchez, and at least 130 people were injured.

<<열차 기관사 휴대폰 문자메시지 금지>>
캘리포니아 Public Utilities Commission(CPUC)는 앞으로 열차 기관사들의 운행 중 휴대폰 문자메시지 발송을 금지하기로 했다. 이 결정은 메트로링크 열차 기관사가 LA근교에서 최근 발생해 사상자를 낸 열차 충돌 사고 전 자신의 휴대폰으로 문자메시지를 보냈다는 사실이 알려진 후에 내려진 것. 로버트 산체스(46) 기관사가 충돌 직전에 구체적으로 무슨 일을 하고 있었는지는 분명치 않지만 미국 교통 안전 위원회(NTSB)는 산체스가 운전하던 통근 열차가 Union Pacific 화물 열차화 충돌했을 때 그가 문자메시지를 보내고 있었다는 주장을 수사하고 있는 중이다. 이번 사로고 산체스를 포함한 25명이 사망하고 최소한 130명이 부상을 입었다.
