PEOPLE AND EVENTS
Civil
Code Amendment Enters Final Phase
Medeni
Yasa Değişikliği Son Aşamada
Parliament has
approved the amendments to the Civil Code's implementation and practice methods,
forming the final stage of the long Civil Code amendment marathon.
amendment
= değişiklik, yeniden düzenleme (genellikle, yasa ve benzeri şeyler için
kullanılır) /// the Civil Code = Medeni Yasa /// implementation = yürütme,
yerine getirme, gerçekleştirme /// the final stage = son aşama
Couples who got
married before the Civil Code amendment will have the right to make an
agreement on the sharing of assets and if they don't make a deal within a
year then the new system concerning sharing of the assets acquired during
the marriage will automatically go into effect.
will
have the right to = hakkına sahip olacak /// sharing of assets = mal varlığı
bölüşümü /// make a deal = anlaşma yapmak, anlaşmaya varmak ///
acquired during marriage = evlilik sırasında edinilmiş /// go into
effect = yürürlüğe girmek...
The new Civil Code
pledges gender equality and reduces discrimination, all of which are expected to become
effective by the end of this month.
pledges = vaadediyor, söz veriyor (burada, teminat altına alıyor) ///
gender equality = cinsler arası eşitlik /// reduces discrimination = ayrımcılığı
azaltıyor...
The previous code,
virtually unchanged since it was introduced in 1926, designated the
husband as
head of the family and gave the wife no say in decisions concerning the
home or children. If the marriage ended in a divorce, women were only
entitled to property legally registered under their names.
virtually
unchanged = hemen hemen, neredeyse hiç değiştirilmemiş /// introduce a
law = yasa yapıp yürürlüğe koymak /// designate = belirtmek, işaret
etmek, isimlendirmek /// gave the woman no say = kadına hiçbir söz hakkı
vermiyordu /// entitled to = hak kazanmış /// property = mülk, mülkiyet,
sahip olunan şeyler...

ECONOMY
-- AN OVERVIEW
Turkland's
dynamic economy is a complex mix of modern industry and commerce along
with traditional agriculture that still accounts for nearly 40% of
employment.
employment =
1. işe alma, adam tutma; 2. istihdam (metindeki anlam)...
It has a
strong and rapidly growing private sector, yet the state still plays a
major role in basic industry, banking, transport, and communication. The
most important industry - and largest exporter - is textiles and clothing,
which is almost entirely in private hands.
private sector = özel
sector (X public sector)... the state = devlet (ayrıca, durum; to state =
belirtmek, beyan etmek)...
In recent
years the economic situation has been marked by erratic economic growth
and serious imbalances. Real GNP growth has exceeded 6% in most years, but
this strong expansion was interrupted by sharp declines in output in 1994
and 1999.
has been marked by =
kuvvetli etkisi altına girmiştir (to mark = 1. işaretlemek; 2. damgasını
vurmak (metinde pasif kullanılmıştır)... erratic economic growth = düzensiz
(bi öyle bi böyle!) iktisadi büyüme... serious imbalances = ciddi
dengesizlikler... GNP = gross national product, gayrisafi milli hasıla...
strong expansion X a sharp decline... output = üretim (burada)...
Meanwhile
the public sector fiscal deficit has shown a steady growth - due in large
part to the huge burden of interest payments, which now account for more
than 40% of central government spending - while inflation has remained in
the high double digit range.
fiscal deficit = mali açık... steady growth = sürekli büyüme... due
in large part to = büyük ölçüde ...den dolayı... huge burden = ağır
yük (huge = very big, very large)... interest payments = faiz ödemeleri
(interest = 1. ilgi, alaka... 2. faiz... 3. çıkar, menfaat)... central
government spending = merkezi hükumet harcamaları... in the high double
digit range = yüksek çift haneli düzeylerde...
Perhaps
because of these problems, foreign direct investment in Turkland remains low
- less than $1 billion annually.
investment = yatırım... remains low = düşük olmakta devam ediyor...
