The U.S. Congress passed a law to stop changing the clocks.

미국 의회는 시계 변경을 없애기 위한 법안을 통과시켰습니다.

This law creates a permanent daylight saving time.

이 법안은 영구 일광절약제를 만드는 내용입니다.

The House approved the bill by a large vote.

하원은 큰 표차로 이 법안을 승인했습니다.

President Donald Trump also said he supports it.

도널드 트럼프 대통령도 지지 의사를 밝혔습니다.

Now, clocks go forward in spring and back to standard time in fall.

현재는 봄에 시계를 앞당기고 가을에 표준시로 되돌립니다.

According to last year's AP-NORC poll, only 12% of U.S. adults liked this change.

작년 AP-NORC 여론조사에 따르면 미국 성인의 12%만이 이 변경을 찬성했습니다.

Almost half of them were against it.

거의 절반은 반대했습니다.

The United States tried permanent daylight saving time in the 1970s.

미국은 1970년대에 영구 일광절약제를 시도했습니다.

But it lasted less than a year.

하지만 1년도 채 가지 못했습니다.

In 1973, Congress introduced it as a trial period from January 1974 to April 1975.

1973년 의회는 1974년 1월부터 1975년 4월까지 시범 기간으로 도입했습니다.

However, it was canceled in October due to public opposition.

그러나 대중의 반발로 10월에 폐지되었습니다.

The main concern was that students had to go to school in the dark.

주요 우려는 학생들이 어둠 속에서 등교해야 한다는 점이었습니다.

Kevin Birth, a Queens College anthropology professor, was an elementary school student at that time.

퀸스 칼리지 인류학 교수 케빈 버스는 당시 초등학생이었습니다.

He said, "I had to get up to go to school, and it felt like midnight."

그는 "학교에 가려면 일어나야 했는데 마치 자정 같았다"고 말했습니다.

This attempt is different from the previous one.

이번 시도는 이전과 다른 점이 있습니다.

More people work from home, and sleep science has improved.

재택근무자가 늘었고 수면 과학이 발전했습니다.

The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine support a single time zone.

미국 의학 협회와 미국 수면 의학 아카데미는 단일 시간대를 지지합니다.

They emphasize the importance of daily rhythms.

그들은 일상 리듬의 중요성을 강조합니다.

Professor Buss said that changing only the clock is not enough.

버스 교수는 시계만 바꿔서는 안 된다고 말했습니다.

He said that time zones should also be adjusted nationwide.

그는 전국적으로 시간대도 조정해야 한다고 말했습니다.

The current four time zones cover too large an area.

현재 4개 시간대는 너무 넓은 지역을 커버합니다.

So the sunrise times in the west and east are different.

그래서 서쪽과 동쪽의 일출 시간이 다릅니다.
