the SKIMM -2021.7.4

(출처: 네이버 영어사전, the skimm)

 

1. bust out: 싹트다, 꽃피다 / -로부터 도망치다

-> But before you bust out your red, white, and blue fanny pack, there are some things you should be aware of...

 

2. Rental cars have apparently increased their prices 140% since 2019.

 

3. throttle: 목을 조르다, 목을 졸라 죽이다/ (자동차 등의 연료)조절판

-> But people are still moving full throttle(전속력으로 움직임)- especially since more than half of the country's adults are fully vaccinated...which reminds us.

 

4. And it's mostly because of the Delta variant - the strain that's 60% more contagious than Alpha, and carries double the risks of hospitalization.

 

5. precinct: 선거구/ (차량 통행이 허용되지 않는 시내 상업)구역

-> The case looked at two state rules: one, allowing it to throw out ballots cast in the wrong precinct.

 

6. Democrats argued they disproportionately(불균형적으로) impact voters of color(유색 인종 유권자).

 

7. disparity: (특히 한쪽에 불공평한)차이

-> But most of the Supremes said just because there's "some disparity" doesn't mean there's an unequal opportunity to vote.

 

8. Justice Elena Kagan dissented(반대하다), accusing the court of rewriting the Voting Rights Act.

 

9. quirky: 변덕스러운

-> Cue a cast of quirky characters, a rapidly changing town, some rekindled friendships - and you'll get this frothy story about how the course of true adulthood never did run smooth.
