Two questions from news articles
"What happened with the small number of children who have been adversely affected is terrible," Obama said. "And we can't minimize what's happened."
But Obama said that "there have been tens of thousands of Russian children adopted by U.S. families. The overwhelming majority are leading happy, healthy lives."
What is the nuance of "adversely affected"? Is it a euphemism of "unlucky"?
The leaders' expected ratification of the bailout it plans along with the International Monetary Fund was all but a formality. Finance ministers approved it Sunday, and the package on Friday cleared its highest hurdle: approval by the German parliament.
How do I construe this sentence? "bailout which it plans along with..." or "bailout-it-plans"?
Thanks in advance.
