Welcome to World News. Tonight, priority list. Health officials decide who should be first to get the swine flu vaccine. Matter of race. The `Attorney General`(법무장관)ent in America is not color blind and that he himself has been the victim of `racial profiling`(인종차별관행) business. One of the earth’s most `dazzling`(현혹적인)ures now threatened by one of the most dangerous. And the Pacific Northwest is `broiling`(타는듯이 뜨거운)atures never seen before. Never! From ABC News headquarters, this is World News with Charles Gibson reporting tonight Elizabeth Vargas.
Good evening. Against the backdrop of rising concern about the `resurgence`(재기)the H1N1 swine flu this fall, a government advisory committee today decided who should be the first to get a vaccine. At the front of the line are people who are most vulnerable to the disease. Pregnant mothers and health care workers are at the top of the list.
Finally tonight, the wonderful animals that are furry, fun loving and facing extinction. In some of the most remote places on earth, lemurs, a kind of `primate`(영장류) their lives amid growing threats from two-legged creatures. ABC’s Dan Harris ventured into the `rugged`(울퉁불퉁한)ins of Madagascar to see for himself what’s happening to the lemurs there.
If you want to see one of the most rare and beautiful animals on earth, a creature called the silky sifaka, you need to take a `steep slippery`(가파른 경사의 미끄러운) `slug-infested`(민달팽이가 창궐하는) height, “Bloodsucker!”, miles into the mountains of northern Madagascar. After about five hours, we catch our first glimpse. “Way up there. There are two lemurs. They’re quite beautiful as promised. And they don’t seem to mind at all we’re here.” They look like cotton balls with tail. Silky sifakas are one of about 50 varieties of lemur, primates that exist almost exclusively here in Madagascar. They should be scared. Illegal loggers are rapidly destroying the forests that the lemurs need to survive. In recent months, a military coup has destabilized the government. Nile O’Conner from the world wild life fund says we may be looking at the last silky sifakas.
One place that lemurs are protected is at parks like this one. Here we see bamboo lemurs, crown lemurs, brown lemurs, and my favorite dancing lemurs. “They look ridiculous.” They are `adorable`(귀여운). But conservationists fear that soon zoos may be the only places that the lemur will play. Dan Harris, ABC
