기사요약: 21일 동부전선 전방 22사단 부대에서 총기를 난사한 임모 병장은 자살 기도 직전 메모를 작성해 자신의 가족과 유가족에게 사과했다. 현재 군 수사관들이 임 병장의 총기난사 동기에 대해 수사 중인 가운데 임 병장이 선임병과 후임병으로부터 따돌림을 당했다는 추측이 나오고 있다. 군 내의 후진적인 병영문화에 대한 비판도 함께 나오는 시점이다.

[2] The 22-year-old sergeant, only identified by his surname Lim, underwent surgery for a self-inflicted gunshot wound between his chest and left shoulder, and was recovering at a hospital in Gangneung, Gangwon Province. Medical staff injected him with sedatives and put him to sleep to prevent contingencies.

*repent: 참회하다 (repentant for: ..에 대해서 참회하는, repentance: 참회, 뉘우침)
[4] Lim was captured alive on Monday after special commandos and his father and older brother persuaded him to surrender. Last Saturday, he detonated a grenade and fired some 10 shots in and outside his barracks, killing five soldiers and wounding seven others in his unit of the Army's 22nd Division near the eastern inter-Korean border.*commando: 특공부대원

[7] Despite the Army's efforts to stamp out bullying and other abuses in the barracks, observers say that such wrongful acts are still taking place in the military, particularly in border units where a strictly hierarchical culture prevails.

*abuse: 학대, 남용, 학대하다, 남용하다
*take place: 일어나다 (=occur, happen)

*designate: 지명하다 지목하다 (designation: 지명, 지목)
