1. 스코틀랜드 호수에 괴물이 산다?

 

Have you ever seen a strange creature during your lifetime? Imagine you saw something with your naked eye, but nobody believed you.

 - naked eye: 육안, 나안(裸眼)

 

According to a written account by the Viking Adamnan in CE 565, a creature in Scotland's Loch Ness was killing people. In 1933, there were five sightings of the creature.

 - sighting: 목격

 

The creature was called Nessie. In 1995, Lorna Taylor attested to seeing it, too.

 - attest to STH: ...에 대해 증언하다, ...을 증명/입증하다

 

She saw its full body, including the head and neck. But like other eyewitnesses, she was a few seconds too late to get a clear picture. The monster was five meters long from head to tail. That is three times the size of a crocodile, including its snout.

 - snout = muzzle: 코, 주둥이

 

Nessie is said to live in one of the largest lochs in the Scottish Highlands.

 - be said to V: ...라고 한다

 - loch = lough: 호수, 만

 - highland: 산악지대의

 

Interestingly, with regard to Nessie, public opinion is positive despite fears of its existence.

 - with regard to: ...에 관해

 

It brings tourists along with 50 million dollars in benefits annually to the Scottish economy.
