PARLIAMENT TO INVESTIGATE THE
PROBLEMS OF MEDIA SECTOR
from Turkish Daily News Parliamentary
Bureau, Ankara. (Slightly modified for linguistic purposes)
Some 38 deputies from
coalition partner parties apply to Parliament Speaker's Office to
underline the problems of media sector
some (burada
= yaklaşık... Speaker = Meclis başkanı... to underline = Altını çizmek,
vurgulamak...
An investigation proposal on the media
sector prepared by the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) deputy Nazif Okumuş and signed by members of the three-way coalition government was
presented to the Parliament Speaker's Office.
investigation proposal =
araştırma teklifi... deputy = milletvekili...
Increasing unemployment in the media
sector, low salaries, lack of job security as well as monopolization are
posing a threat to the freedom of press, the proposal said.
increasing unemployment =
giderek artan işsizlik... low salaries = düşük ücretler... (genelde,
biliyorsunuz, salary = maaş [genelde aylık]; wages / çoğunlukla plural
kullanılır [genelde haftalık ve beden işçileri için] = ücret...
lack of job security = iş güvenliği olmaması... monopolization =
tekelleşme... posing a threat to = bir tehdit oluşturuyor...
"Turkish press is facing important
and serious problems that need to be solved urgently. [...] Problems that
have occurred in the media sector for the last decade is the result of
unfair competition and monopolization in the sector," the proposal
stated.
that need to be solved
urgently = acil çözülmesi gereken... in the last decade = son on yılda...
unfair competition = haksız rekabet...
The proposal underlines the fact that
more than 5,000 people working in the media sector have been sacked and
those who still have jobs are getting poor salaries, [...] pointing out
that newspaper circulations are in sharp decline and apart from the
unemployment issue, the media sector also has problems regarding
technology, cost and distribution. [...]
have been sacked = işten
atıldılar... those who still have jobs = hala bir işi olanlar...
circulation = (burada) tiraj... [Biyolojide: dolaşım... İktisatta: dolaşım,
tedavül; the money in circulation...] the unemployment issue = işsizlik
sorunu... distribution = dağıtım...
"There are some media bosses who are
using the media organs as a tool for personal ambitions, anger and
bribery. It is wrong and unfair for the state to limit the freedom of the
press but it is also wrong and a crime for the media to attempt to apply
pressure on the state and political life," the proposal said.
media bosses = medya
patronları... personal ambitions = şahsi hırsları... bribery = rüşvet
(Buradaki sözcük seçimi ve gramatik kullanımı bana pek sağlam görünmüyor.
Ancak teklifte yer alan tümceyi bilmediğim için aynen bıraktım. Ben
olsam şöyle oluştururdum: ... a tool for personal ambitions, as well as
for political revenge and intimidation... Bu son sözcük, "korkutma,
sindirme" demektir.)

CIM BOM
APPEASES DISILLUSIONED FANS
GALATASARAY
2, WERDER BREMEN 1
by Udo Steven Bassey,
Ankara - Turkish Daily News (Shortened and slightly modified)
For two days in a row, Galatasaray (Cim
Bom) played warm-up matches in Antalya, and for two days in a row Cim Bom
lost, by the same score 2-1. First against Russia's Spartak Moscow and
then to Turkish Division Two struggler Antalya Kepezspor.
to appease = yatıştırmak...
appeasement (siyasette) savaş tehdidine karşı taviz vererek, istenileni
yerine getirerek yatıştırmak... disillusioned = hayal kırıklığına
uğramış... for two days in a row = ardarda iki gün... warm-up = ısınma,
hazırlık... struggler = 1. mücadele eden; 2. zor durumda olan...
To beat Werder Bremen and appease its
disillusioned fans, Cim Bom's play was bound to be an elegant display of
attacking skill, [...] but in doing so, they left gaping holes in their
defense and Bremen was quick to exploit one of them.
was bound to be = olması
kaçınılmazdı... display = gösteri, sergileme... gap = ara, aralık,
boşluk... to gape = ağzını kocaman açmak, ağzını açıp şaşkınlıkla
aval aval bakmak... gaping holes = kocaman boşluklar... to be quick to do
something = birşeyi yapmakta gecikmemek, çabucak yapmak... to exploit = 1. sömürmek; 2. kendi yararına kullanmak... was quick to exploit one
of them = bunlardan birisini kendi yararlarına kullanmakta
gecikmediler...
Just after four minutes of play, Bremen
went into the lead from an own-goal by captain-defender Bülent Korkmaz,
when he kicked the ball into the back of his own net in a desperate bid to
stop a Bremen player, who had broken loose and beaten Cim Bom's Colombian
keeper Faryd Mondragon neat and clear.
went into lead = öne geçti...
in a desperate bid = çaresiz (ve herşeyi göze alan) bir girişimle...
had broken loose = sıyrılmıştı, serbest kalmıştı... neat and clear
= açık şekilde uzağında... (neat, aslında "düzenli,
tertipli" demektir. Burada,"işi iyi başarmıştı" anlamına
"gayet" sözcüğüyle çevrilebilecek bir pekiştirici görevi
yapıyor. "Clear" is burada açığında, Mondragon'un
uzanamayacapı bir mesafede" anlamı veriyor....
However, Bülent turned from villain to
hero in the 34th when he equalized 1-1 for Cim Bom from a corner kick.
Just a minute later, playmaker Sergen Yalçın was on target to settle the
score: Galatasaray 2, Werder Bremen 1.
turned from villain to
hero = kötü adamdan kahramana dönüştü... ("Villain" aslında
hain, ihanet eden, demektir. Ama burada, gerek "hero" gerekse
"villain", bir romanın yada filmin kahramanı ve kötü kişisi
anlamında kullanılıyor... was on target = hedefi buldu... settle the
score = skoru tayin etti
[...] One problem with Galatasaray is
that it plays according to the strength of its opponents. That explains
why Cim Bom sweeps aside European heavyweights with enthralling arrogance
and at times loses to lightweights in Turkland. A clear example was in the
Turkish Cup when Galatasaray was ousted in the third round by Second
Division Erzurumspor.
according to the strength
of its opponents = rakiplerinin gücüne göre... sweeps aside = süpürüp
bir kenara atıyor... European heavyweights = ağırsikletleri, önde
gelen takımları... enthralling = büyüleyici... arrogance = kibir,
gurur, mağrur olma... to oust = defetmek, dışarı atmak, görevden düşürmek...
in the third round = üçüncü turda... Second Division = İkinci Lig...
