  The NY Times shows the following title:
  
  
  North Korea Accepts Aid From South Korea
  
  
  뉴욕타임즈가 아래 타이틀을 선보였습니다:
  '북한이 남한 지원을 수락하다.'
  
  What does it mean by 'accept?'
  
  Why does the NY Times use the above word, 'accept,' to describe the current situation between N. Korea and S. Korea? Which country is suffering from such a disaster? Which country should accept aid from which country?
  
  수락하다니 ? 왜 뉴욕타임즈가 그런 단어를 썼을까요? '억셉트;수락하다'가 뜻하는 의미를 아십니까 ? 왜 뉴욕타임즈는 남북한 사이의 현상황을 설명하는데 '수락하다'의 단어가 필요한 겁니까 ? 어느 쪽이 재앙으로 고통받고 있습니까 ? 어느 국가가 어느 국가의 지원을 받아'들여야' 합니까 ?
  
  
  As I wrote before, Americans would never understand the behavior of women making the ultimate sacrifice, running into blazing buildings in frantic attempts to save treasured portraits of Kim Jong Il and his late father, Kim Il Sung, rather than their own children.
  
  전에 제가 썼던 대로, 미국인들은 집이 무너지는데 달려가 자기네 아이들은 제쳐두고 김정일과 김일성의 초상화를 보물처럼 먼저 건져내온 북한여성들의 행동을 결코 이해하지 못할 겁니다.
  
  Now, Americans would never understand the above title either. To understand the meaning of 'accept,' just read the the following sentence:
  
  One should accept one's fate.
  
  
  지금 미국인들은 위의 제목 '수락하다'가 갖는 의미도 결코 이해하지 못할 겁니다.
  '수락하다'의 의미를 이해하려면 아래에 쓴 글도 읽어보십시오.
  
  ----------------------
  '사람은 그의 운명을 수락해야 한다.'
  
  Now you might understand the exact meaning of the above title. It implies that N. Korea endures resignedly/patiently receiving aid from S. Korea, and S. Koreans seem to be show off their generosity to save their faces in the international society,
  as Unification Minister Jeong Se Hyun told reporters, 'We have saved face before the rest of the world.'
  
  이제 '수락하다'의 의미가 좀 이해가십니까 ? 이것은 북한이 남한으로부터 지원을 (굴욕을 인종하듯 ) 인내하며 받아들여야 한다는 것을 강조하는 단어입니다. 그리고 남한사람들은 자기들의 관대함을 국제사회에서 연출한 것처럼 보여지는 단어입니다. 마치 통일부장관 정세현이 보도진에게 말하였듯 '우리는 전세계인들 앞에 우리 체면을 살렸다.'
  
  
  Yes, congratulations, Minister Jeong, since N. Korea finally accepts your (S. Koreans') solicitation. What a great joke it is! What a big comedy it is, my dear S. Koreans!
  
  오, 그래요. 축하해요. 정 장관님, 북한이 마침내 당신의(남한인들의) 애원하는 간청을 '수락'했군요!!
  얼마나 재밌는 조크입니까 ?
  내 친애하는 남한의 동포들이여, 이 얼마나 황당한 코메디입니까 ?
  
  
  I had better hide from the secretary who asked me before, 'Jay, where do you come from? Korea?' If I can't hide, I had better put this newspaper into the biggest trash can in my office. Otherwise, again I am going to suffer from her aggressive questions on (S. and N.) Koreans’ senseless behaviors.
  
  나는 지난번에
  '제이, 당신 어디 출신이에요 ? 한국이지요?' 라고 한 비서로부터 질문을 받았을 때, 도망쳐 숨고 싶다고 말씀드렸습니다.
  만일 그럴 수 없다면, 차라리 이 신문을 제 사무실의 가장 큰 휴지통에 동댕이치는 게 낫지 않을지요. 그러지 않으면, 아마 저는 그녀가 한국인들의 비상식적인 행동에 관해 퍼붓는 질문 공세 - 남한과 북한을 일괄한 '한국인'으로 - 때문에 다시 고통의 시간을 겪게 될 겁니다.
  
  Suddenly, I can remember the question that one of my friends called me a few days ago and asked. “Sorry, Jay. But is there any way that I don’t look like a Korean for the time being?”
  Oh, my gosh!
  
  Jay
  
  갑자기 저는 제 친구로부터 며칠 전에 들었던 한 질문이 생각납니다.
  '미안한 마음이지만, 제이, 당분간 우리 한국인으로 안 보이게 하는 좋은 방법이 없을까?'
  오, 하나님,
  
  Jay

  South Korean workers loaded supplies onto a plane bound for North Korea yesterday, the first known cargo flight from South Korea to North Korea. The aid was in response to an explosion in Ryongchon on April 22.

  OKYO, April 30 - Hours after receiving the first known cargo flight in its history from South Korea, North Korea promised Friday to allow South Korean Red Cross trucks to roll across the demilitarized zone. The two unusual concessions underlined how the humanitarian emergency after last week's train blast was opening doors in North Korea.
  
  In a historic one-hour flight, a Korean Air Boeing 747-400F flew from Seoul to Pyongyang, North Korea's capital, carrying 70 tons of aid, including first-aid kits and blankets, to care for the 1,300 injured and thousands left homeless by the April 22 train explosion in Ryongchon, near the Chinese border.
  
  With additional South Korean aid arriving by boat, North Korea's Red Cross said Friday it would allow South Korean trucks and bulldozers to cross the border to Kaesong, where North Korea would take over the cargo and equipment, according to Yonhap, a South Korean news agency. Shocked by images of children wounded and blinded by the blast, South Koreans have raised money through telethons, and the government has promised $26 million in aid - almost four times the total pledged by the rest of the world.
  
  'We have saved face before the rest of the world,' Unification Minister Jeong Se Hyun told reporters.
  
  With about 400 still hospitalized on Friday, the death toll stands at 161.
  
  Four days after the blast, a boy was rescued from the rubble of his primary school, according to a pro-North Korean newspaper in Japan. The newspaper, The People's Korea, reported that the boy said, simply, 'I am hungry,' as he was pulled out.
  
  South Korea's KBS television station on Friday provided insight into why as many as half of the injured were children. After local schools let out at noon, crowds of children gathered to watch the freight train, which had started burning half an hour earlier. At 12:08 p.m., the cargo, reportedly ammonium nitrate and fuel oil, blew up. Richard Ragan, an American who arrived at the blast site on Sunday, said in a telephone interview on Friday, 'The whole area was littered with book bags, papers and children's shoes.'
  
  'The primary school had two walls collapsed and its roof blown off,' said Mr. Ragan, who directs the World Food Program mission in North Korea. 'I walked into one room and saw two bloody handprints on a wall.'
  
  On Friday, North Korea's state media branded as 'wicked' foreign press criticism that North Korea had closed the blast site to foreign reporters, had refused to allow patients to be moved to better hospitals across the border in China and had shown more interest in receiving material aid than in providing proper treatment for the injured.
  
  After a short debate in South Korea's media, Seoul on Thursday agreed to fully comply with North Korea's requests for 50,000 tons of cement, 10,000 tons of food, 10 bulldozers, 10 steam shovels, 500 tons of diesel oil, 500 tons of gasoline, 1,500 sets of school desks and chairs, 50 blackboards, 10,000 tons of food and 50 television sets.
  
  In a country where an 'army first' policy means that the military gets first priority for all goods, North Korea showed sensitivity on Friday to reports that North Korean soldiers had not been seen working at the blast site. Soldiers 'rushed to the spot with several tons of rice, quilts, clothes, shoes, kitchen utensils, school things and satchels on the evening of April 22, the very day of the explosion,' the Korean Central News Agency said from Pyongyang. It quoted Han Ki Bok, a coal miner in Ryongchon, as saying it was 'servicemen who came here first with relief goods.'
  
  'Our army is, indeed, the best,' he concluded.
