Two’s company
President Lee Myung-bak, left, and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, right, have a meeting yesterday in Phnom Penh on the sideline of a regional summit overshadowed by history and sovereignty spats among the three neighbors. They took a swipe at Japan for failing to fully shed its wartime past. Seoul and Tokyo have been at odds over Japan’s claims to Dokdo islets, and Beijing has a similar row with Tokyo over a group of East China Sea islets. Both Korea and China are shunning bilateral summits with Japan they used to hold on the sidelines of annual summits hosted by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The three countries are expected to skip a trilateral meeting as well. [YONHAP]

한 단계씩 따라하다 보면 문장이 저절로 외워지고 영어 구조에 대한 감각이 자연스럽게 생겨난답니다.
President Lee Myung-bak, (left), and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, (right), have a meeting (yesterday) (in Phnom Penh) (on the sideline) (of a regional summit) (overshadowed) (by history and sovereignty spats) (among the three neighbors).
“첫 문장의 뼈대를 살펴보면 주어가 President Lee Myung-bak and Chinese premier Wen Jiabao, 서술어는 have, 목적어는 ‘a meeting입니다. 문장 전체는 ‘사진 왼편의 이명박 대통령과 오른편의 중국 총리 원자바오가 한•중•일 삼국 간의 역사와 영토권 문제 갈등으로 그늘진 지역정상회담에서 어제 따로 만나 프놈펜에서 회담을 하고 있다’는 내용입니다.
They took a swipe (at Japan) (for [failing [to (fully) shed its wartime past]]). Seoul and Tokyo have been at odds (over Japan’s claims) (to Dokdo islets), and Beijing has a similar row (with Tokyo) (over a group) (of East China Sea islets).
Both Korea and China are shunning bilateral summits (with Japan) {they used to hold (on the sidelines) (of annual summits) (hosted) (by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations)}. The three countries are expected {to skip a trilateral meeting (as well)}.
“네 번째 문장은 ‘한국과 중국 모두 ASEAN이 개최하는 연례 정상회담에서 따로 열던 일본과의 양자회담을 하지 않고 있다’는 내용이고 마지막 문장은 ‘삼국이 삼자회담 또한 생략할 것으로 보인다’는 내용입니다.”
