* Commentary *
A court in the USA has ordered the tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds to pay a woman $23.6 billion in damages. Cynthia Robinson filed a lawsuit against R.J. Reynolds in 2008 and fought for six years for compensation. Her husband Michael died of lung cancer in 1996 after two decades of smoking.
(표현) in damages = 피해 보상금으로/ file a lawsuit against ~ = ~을 상대로 소송을 제기하다/ die of lung cancer = 폐암으로 죽다/ decade = 10(십)년
(추가) sue sb for sth = ~에게 ~에 대한 소송을 걸다(제기하다)/ take legal actions(proceedings) against ~ = ~에게 소송을 걸다/ drop(withdraw) a suit = 소송을 취하하다/ dismiss a case(an action) = 소송을 기각하다
(토론) 담배회사가 흡연자에게 흡연의 위험을 충분히 알리지 않았다는 이유가 소송에서 져야만 하는 충분한 근거가 되나요?
