[원문]: Users appreciated the speed of Google, and those who spent a lot of time on the site began to form a strong connection to it. Some became so familiar with its look that the subtlest of changes caught their eye. Mayer quickly learned just how sharp, even obsessive, their users were. One vigilante sent Google an anonymous email every so often just listing a number, like 37 or 43. Eventually Mayer and her colleagues figured out it referred to the number of words on the Google homepage--the implication being that someone was keeping track, so don't screw up the design.

[comment]::1)How could there have been such nonsensical mistakes? As the translator of the Google Story, did he himself ever take an olnline travel to the search media? Did he do the translation work by himself? In other words, Didn't he use others? Didn't he use his young secretary in his office, or didn't he order his son attending high school to do the homework for him?
2)The readers of the Korean version will be led astray in a maze of semantic phantasmagoria, for they will have to watch a certain anonymous person email the company whenever he spots mysterious numbers 37 and 43 appearing on search results from time to time.
3)The paragraph at issue is only mentioning the homepage of Google and its design. It mentions that the users of the search engine are very interested in the face (or the interface) of Google. It also mentions that a certain avid watcher was counting the words employed on the homepage and that the Google guys had decided to hold on to the simple homepage consisting only of words. (As of now it consists of 37 words.)
Culture is learned, tinkered with, emulated, rehearsed and finally practiced by people concerned. Of almost all the cultural facets in Korean society today, there is hardly anything but have been imported from the Western countries, including the U.S. The youth are obsessed with breakdances and all. It's kind of weird that even old folks are performing high-fives, with which we have not been familiar so far.
[원문]: Those were the immediate consequences of deforestation and other human environmental impacts. The further consequences start with starvation, a population crash, and a descent into cannibalism. Surviving islanders' accounts of starvation are graphically confirmed by the proliferation of little statues called moai kavakava, depicting starving people with hollow cheeks and protruding ribs. Captain Cook in 1774 described the islanders as "small, lean, timid, and miserable." Numbers of house sites in the coastal lowlands, where almost everybody lived, declined by 70% from peak values around 1400-1600 to the 1700s, suggesting a corresponding decline in numbers of people. In place of their former sources of wild meat, islanders turned to the largest hitherto unused source available to them: humans, whose bones became common not only in proper burials but also (cracked to extract the marrow) in Easter Island garbage heaps. Oral traditions of the islanders are obsessed with cannibalism; the most inflammatory taunt that could be snarled at an enemy was "The flesh of your mother sticks between my teeth." (Collapse, Jared Diamond )
Is there any other country than Korea that class consciousness runs sharper in every sphere of occupational activities? Harmony, cooperation and mutual understanding are nonexistent. Every community member collides over every gamut of decisions and behaviors ranging from workplace rules to paycheck matters.
[원문]: [A]An hour later, she entered the airport terminal in Pensacola and waited eighty minutes for a flight to Miami. Any flight would have suited her. The one to Miami happened to be the soonest. It would prove to be disastrous.
The man is a genius. He deserves to be designated as one. How come he has happened to be empowered with such talent?
I can't appreciate your kindness too much. I am so glad that I have happened to get over the barrier. I was really scared about all this. I wish I had learned Internet computer and all its technological ramifications. I am sorry for all the trouble I inflicted on you. I wish you all stout health and prosperity!
