).
- Translate naturally, avoid word-by-word.
- Use appropriate Korean crypto/tech terms: e.g., "digital asset" -> "디지털 자산", "crypto" -> "암호화폐", "blockchain" -> "블록체인", "regulatory limbo" -> "규제 사각지대", "exchange registration" -> "거래소 등록", "consumer protections" -> "소비자 보호", "recess" -> "휴회", "ethics provisions" -> "윤리 조항", "progressive groups" -> "진보 단체", "revolving-door concerns" -> "회전문 우려" (meaning regulators moving to industry), etc.
- Keep proper nouns: "Bessent", "CLARITY Act", "Gillibrand", "Congress", "Treasury Secretary", "CFTC", "SEC", "House", "Senate" etc. in original form (but can add Korean honorifics like "장관" for Secretary? The instruction says "keep proper nouns in original form", so "Scott Bessent" stays, but "Treasury Secretary" can be translated as "재무장관" since it's a title. Similarly, "Senator Kirsten Gillibrand" -> "커스틴 길리브랜드 상원의원". However, the instruction says "keep proper nouns (names, company names) in original form". So "Scott Bessent" and "Kirsten Gillibrand" should remain as is. But "Treasury Secretary" is a title, not a name, so translate. "CLARITY Act" is a proper noun, keep as is. "Congress" is a proper noun? Usually translated as "의회". But it's a specific institution, so keep as "의회" or "미 의회"? I'll use "의회" as it's clear. "CFTC" and "SEC" are acronyms, keep as is. "House" and "Senate" are specific chambers, translate as "하원" and "상원".
- The meta description: translate similarly.
Let's translate step by step.
Original title: "Bessent Urges Congress to Pass CLARITY Act Before Recess; Gillibrand Faces Backlash Over Ethics Provisions"
Translation: "베센트, 의회에 휴회 전 CLARITY Act 통과 촉구; 길리브랜드, 윤리 조항으로 역풍"
But careful: "Bessent" is surname, but in Korean news, often use full name "스콧 베센트" or just "베센트"? Since it's a surname, I'll use "베센트" as it's common. "Gillibrand" -> "길리브랜드". "Urges" -> "촉구하다" -> "촉구". "Faces backlash" -> "역풍을 맞다" or "비판에 직면하다". I'll use "역풍".
Title: "베센트, 의회에 휴회 전 CLARITY Act 통과 촉구… 길리브랜드, 윤리 조항 역풍" - but "ethics provisions" is "윤리 조항". Better: "베센트, 의회에 휴회 전 CLARITY Act 통과 촉구… 길리브랜드, 윤리 조항으로 역풍"
Actually, the original title has two parts separated by semicolon. In Korean, we can use "…" or "…". I'll use "…" as in many news titles.
Let's write: "베센트, 의회에 휴회 전 CLARITY Act 통과 촉구… 길리브랜드, 윤리 조항으로 역풍"
But "Gillibrand Faces Backlash Over Ethics Provisions" - "길리브랜드, 윤리 조항으로 역풍을 맞다" -> "역풍" is fine.
Now content:
First paragraph: "Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told lawmakers the CLARITY Act is at the '1-yard line' and urged them to push it across before the upcoming recess. The digital asset market structure bill has been years in the making, but its final sprint is now tangled in a fight over ethics provisions that has put Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the crosshairs of progressive groups."
Translation: "스콧 베센트 재무장관은 의원들에게 CLARITY Act가 '1야드 라인'에 있다며 다가오는 휴회 전에 통과시켜 줄 것을 촉구했다. 수년간 준비된 디지털 자산 시장 구조 법안이지만, 막바지 스프린트가 윤리 조항을 둘러싼 논쟁에 휘말리면서 커스틴 길리브랜드 상원의원이 진보 단체들의 비판 대상이 되고 있다."
Note: "1-yard line" is a football metaphor. In Korean, we can keep as '1야드 라인' or explain? Since it's a metaphor, keep as is with quotes. "push it across" -> "통과시키다". "tangled in a fight" -> "논쟁에 휘말리다". "in the crosshairs" -> "비판 대상이 되다".
Second paragraph: "Bessent's comments came as Congress faces a tight window before leaving for recess. He framed the bill as a critical piece of unfinished business, warning that failure to act would leave the digital asset industry in regulatory limbo. The Treasury secretary did not specify what consequences might follow a delay, but his language signaled the administration sees the legislation as a top priority."
Translation: "베센트의 발언은 의회가 휴회를 앞두고 촉박한 시간에 직면한 상황에서 나왔다. 그는 이 법안을 미완의 중요한 과제로 규정하며, 행동에 나서지 않으면 디지털 자산 업계가 규제 사각지대에 놓일 것이라고 경고했다. 재무장관은 지연에 따른 결과를 구체적으로 언급하지 않았지만, 그의 발언은 행정부가 이 법안을 최우선 과제로 보고 있음을 시사했다."
"regulatory limbo" -> "규제 사각지대" or "규제 불확실성". "사각지대" is good.
Third paragraph: "The CLARITY Act aims to create a federal framework for digital asset markets, covering everything from exchange registration to consumer protections. Supporters say it would bring clarity to an industry that has operated under a patchwork of state laws and conflicting federal guidance. Opponents argue the bill still contains loopholes that could weaken oversight."
Translation: "CLARITY Act는 거래소 등록부터 소비자 보호까지 모든 것을 포괄하는 디지털 자산 시장을 위한 연방 프레임워크를 만드는 것을 목표로 한다. 지지자들은 이 법안이 주별 법률과 상충되는 연방 지침 아래 운영되어 온 업계에 명확성을 가져다줄 것이라고 말한다. 반대자들은 이 법안이 여전히 감독을 약화시킬 수 있는 허점을 포함하고 있다고 주장한다."
"patchwork" -> "주별로 제각각인" but "patchwork of state laws" -> "주별 법률의 잡동사니" but better: "주별로 다른 법률" or "주별 법률의 뒤죽박죽". I'll use "주별 법률과 상충되는 연방 지침" to capture the idea.
Fourth paragraph: "Senator Gillibrand helped broker the ethics provisions in the bill, a move that was meant to address concerns about conflicts of interest among digital asset regulators. But progressive groups have turned on her, accusing her of watering down those very safeguards. The backlash has been sharp, with some activists calling the provisions insufficient to prevent industry insiders from shaping policy."
Translation: "길리브랜드 상원의원은 법안 내 윤리 조항을 중개하는 데 도움을 주었는데, 이는 디지털 자산 규제 기관 간 이해충돌 우려를 해소하기 위한 조치였다. 그러나 진보 단체들은 그녀에게 등을 돌리며 그러한 보호 장치를 약화시켰다고 비난하고 있다. 역풍은 거세며, 일부 활동가들은 해당 조항이 업계 내부자가 정책을 좌우하는 것을 막기에 불충분하다고 주장한다."
"broker" -> "중개하다" or "주선하다". "watering down"
