Hit by battery woes, Apple belatedly begins replacement discount

[1] Bombarded by unprecedented criticism and multiple lawsuits, Apple Korea on Tuesday said it would also begin offering a battery replacement discount for the controversial devices designed to slow down in time.

*bombard (폭격, 공격) 퍼붓다
*unprecedented 전례없는
*lawsuit 소송
*controversial 논란이 많은

[2] The measure for Korea -- which came a week after lawsuits were filed against the company in US -- appeared without an official notification and too late to calm local consumers who have been demanding free battery replacements.

*measure 측정하다, 대책, 조치
*file a lawsuit against ~을 상대로 소송을 제기하다

[3] “Apple’s latest compensation plan appears to be insufficient for the damages inflicted to local consumers. Regardless of the discounted batteries, we will proceed with the lawsuits,” said Cho Gye-chang, an attorney who represents the complainants at Hannuri.

*compensation 보상
*insufficient 불충분한
*inflict 가하다, 손해를 입히다
*attorney 변호사
*complainant 원고, 고소인 (plaintiff, accuser)

Top Hollywood women launch anti-harassment initiative

[1] More than 300 top women in Hollywood -- from Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence to Emma Thompson and Cate Blanchett -- unveiled an initiative Monday to tackle pervasive sexual harassment in workplaces, calling special attention to their “sisters” in less than glamorous blue-collar jobs.

*dub 별명을 붙이다
