[김대균의 영어산책] 속담과 명언

Korea Herald18-04-2025

필자는 최근 일본의 유명 출판사와 새로운 토익수출계약을 맺었다, 대만수출도 꾸준히 하고 있다. 필자의 칼럼에 일본독자나 선생님들이 자주 등장하는 것은 이런 맥락도 있다. 서로 교류하면서 배우기 때문이다. 일본은 우리나라보다 토익평균점수가 150점 낮기 때문에 한국 교재를 그대로 출간해서는 반응이 거의 없다. 일본 독자의 눈높이에 맞춰야 한다. 책의 내용도 우리나라 분량의 50%정도가 적당하다. 개인사업을 하면서 배운 점 중에 내가 잘하는 것과 좋아하는 것을 하는 것도 중요하지만 소비자의 필요를 맞추지 않으면 살아남지 못하는 시대가 되었다. 그만큼 살기 힘들지만 보람이 있는 것이 토익시장이다. 오늘은 건강과 부자에 관한 영어명언으로 영어 공부를 해보자! 아래 제공되는 명언 중에 몇가지를 암기해 보자! 독자들은 더욱 더 건강한 부자가 될 것이다.

Hazardous materials found in kids' items from Chinese platforms

Children's summer textile products sold on Chinese e-commerce platforms have been found to contain toxic substances far exceeding permitted safety levels, the city announced Thursday. In the latest safety inspection conducted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government on 24 items of summer shoes and clothing for children from AliExpress, Shein and Temu, 14 were deemed unsuitable for sale. According to the city government, products from Temu and AliExpress contained hazardous materials at levels up to 33 times higher than the country's legal standards. Four types of summer shoes being sold on AliExpress contained a phthalate plasticizer that exceeds the legally permitted amount. The items were also found to have lead levels that exceeded standards by 25 times. Phthalates are commonly used to increase the flexibility and longevity of plastics. But they are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can affect the body's reproductive function and increase the risk of cancers. Lead exposure beyond safe levels can also negatively affect health, including the reproductive health and brain development of unborn children. The city government underlined that the DEHP, or di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, which is a chemical linked to various health concerns like developmental issues and potential carcinogenic effects, was also found in the shoes' insoles. Three summer tops from AliExpress and one kids' shirt from Temu were ruled unsuitable for their high pH levels. South Korea permits a pH range between 4 and 7.5, but three clothing items from AliExpress measured over 8.5, while the Temu top had a pH of 7.8. The city government also detected nonylphenol that exceeded the standards by 1.3 times in a shirt sold on AliExpress. Nonylphenol is a toxic substance known to disrupt estrogen and potentially cause infertility. The city's exam revealed structural problems for five pairs of summer pants, such as excessive drawstring length, which can pose safety risks for children. A pair of children's pants also showed a pH level of 8, which is outside the permitted range of 4 to 7.5. Items from Shein, meanwhile, tested within the acceptable limits. The city government has requested that AliExpress and Temu halt sales of these products based on the findings and urged people here to be cautious when purchasing children's items through overseas shopping sites. The Seoul Metropolitan Government added that it would continue safety inspections in June, focusing on children's umbrellas, raincoats and rain boots.

EDAN Highlights Commitment to Global Health at GHF 2025 Satellite Symposium, a Side Event of the World Health Assembly

GENEVA, May 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Edan Instruments, Inc. ( a leading global medical device company, participated in the Geneva Health Forum (GHF) 2025 Satellite Symposium, held as a side event of the World Health Assembly (WHA). Titled "China's Medical Technology Innovation and Its Implementation for Global Health," the event took place on May 20 in Geneva and was co-organized by Tsinghua University and the Université de Genève. It brought together innovators, policymakers, and development partners to explore how Chinese medical technology is advancing equitable healthcare, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Representing EDAN, Co-Founder Mr. Xicheng Xie delivered a keynote sharing the company's experience in delivering accessible innovation to underserved communities. "Real innovation isn't just about cutting-edge technology — it's about bringing the right solutions to the people who need them the most," said Mr. Xie, reflecting on the company's three-decade journey and the evolving meaning of innovation. In that spirit, Mr. Xie highlighted EDAN's efforts to develop medical technologies that are accessible, practical, and impactful in real-world settings. He shared detailed of an ongoing initiative using EDAN's Nano Series handheld diagnostic ultrasound system to support basic prenatal care in resource-limited environments. The project focuses on equipping primary healthcare workers with tools for early screening and timely referral for at-risk pregnancies. He also noted other impactful technologies, including palm-sized fetal dopplers, EDAN's IQ intelligent algorithm, and its smart ECG web platform — each designed to bridge infrastructure gaps and reduce reliance on scarce medical personnel. With a long-standing presence across both high-end and resource-limited markets, EDAN has built a truly global footprint – from Europe to Africa. To strengthen local engagement and ensure more responsive service, it has established 22 subsidiaries worldwide. This localized support, combined with a commitment to frontline feedback, drives continuous product improvement and meaningful impact. EDAN is also actively involved in a range of meaningful projects across LMICs, working alongside NGOs, public health agencies, and development partners. These include maternal health and women's care initiatives in South Africa, portable diagnostic deployments in West Africa, and ultrasound screening programs in Latin America. Each year, nearly 1,000 ultrasound devices are deployed globally through NGO-led programs. These partnerships not only expand access to essential care but also help build local capacity through training and support. "At EDAN, we believe in bringing innovation and value together to improve the human condition," Xie concluded. "That mission is at the core of everything we do — from product design to global partnerships." As EDAN celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025, the company remains steadfast in its mission to deliver innovation that matters — especially for those who need it most.
