看單字前,讓 Libby 編考考大家
👉一樣都是指「疾病流行的」,epidemic 跟 pandemic 有什麼不同呢 👀
--
1⃣ kick off 「(活動)開始、拉開序幕」:足球用語,指球賽開賽,在文中延伸為「(活動)拉開序幕」。名詞為 kickoff。
2⃣ delegate「代表」:文中指的是民主黨代表,美國總統選舉初選時,民主黨有些黨代表可以根據自己意願投票,無需理會初選時的選民意願。
3⃣ nominate「提名」:當動詞。名詞「提名」為nomination,名詞「提名人」為nominee。
4⃣ cast one’s vote「投下選票」
5⃣ beam「發射電波,播送」:beam當名詞有「光束」之意,這裡作為動詞,有「播送」的意思。
6⃣ epidemic「(疾病)局部流行的」
7⃣ fan「煽動」:這裡當動詞,有「煽動、激起」之意。
8⃣ pandemic「(疾病)大規模流行的」

On Monday, August 17, the Democratic National Convention kicked off at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Over the next few days, prominent Democrats will give speeches on why voters should vote President Trump out of office and give the Democratic Party another chance to govern. And then the delegates will gather to nominate former senator and vice president Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidates for president and vice president in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
八月17日星期一,美國民主黨代表大會在威斯康辛州密爾瓦基揭開序幕。接下來幾天,許多民主黨大老將發表演說,力勸選民用選票將川普踢出白宮,給民主黨重返執政的機會。接著黨代表將聚集在一起,提名資深參議員及前美國副總統喬拜登以及參議員賀錦麗,作為參選 2020 年美國總統大選的總統與副總統候選人。
But perhaps “gather” isn’t the right word. The delegates will be casting their votes from home, and all the speeches—some live, some pre-recorded—will be beamed to a screen in the convention center, where there will be no audience to laugh, cheer, clap or boo. Yes, because of the coronavirus epidemic, for the first time ever this year’s Democratic Convention is a virtual convention.
不過,用「聚集」這個字可能不太對。黨代表會在各自家中投票,而且所有的演說(有的是直播,有的是預錄)會在代表大會中心轉播,那裡將不會有觀眾大笑、歡呼、鼓掌或給噓聲。沒錯,因為新冠病毒疫情的關係,今年的民主黨代表大會首次以虛擬方式進行。
The first night of the convention, hosted by Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria, featured speeches by New York governor Andrew Cuomo, Senator and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, and former first lady Michelle Obama. What did they have to say? Here are a few quotes:
大會第一天晚上由〈慾望師奶〉演員伊娃隆格莉亞主持,當天演講者包括紐約州州長安德魯庫莫,參議員及前美國總統候選人伯尼桑德斯、以及前第一夫人米雪兒歐巴馬。他們當天說了什麼呢?以下是他們說的一些話:
--
“Our collective strength is exercised through government. It is, in effect, our immune system. And our current federal government is dysfunctional and incompetent.” —Andrew Cuomo
「我們的集體力量會透過政府得以運作,就像我們的免疫系統一樣。目前的聯邦政府功能失調又無能。」 ──安德魯庫莫
“Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Trump golfs. His actions fanned this pandemic, resulting in over 170,000 deaths and a nation still unprepared to protect its people.” —Bernie Sanders
「羅馬大火時皇帝尼祿邊看邊彈琴。川普則是打高爾夫。他的舉動煽動了這場大疫情,造成超過17萬人死亡,而舉國上下仍然沒有準備好要保護人民。」 ──伯尼桑德斯
“If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can. And they will if we don’t make a change in this election.” —Michelle Obama
「如果你覺得事情絕不可能再惡化下去,相信我,會的。而如果我們不透過選舉改變這一切,惡化勢必會發生。」 ──米雪兒歐巴馬

🖐🏽 五分鐘來關心國際時事— 香港🇭🇰
📰 Hong Kong Media Baron Jimmy Lai Released on Bail
香港媒體巨頭黎智英交保獲釋
Supporters of outspoken newspaper founder waved copies of his Apple Daily as he left police station
📌 這是一篇關於香港的大新聞。香港媒體巨頭 (media baron) 黎智英 最近被拘捕,後來被交保獲釋 (released on bail)。據報導指出,他為人坦率的(outspoken),當他獲釋離開警局時,他的支持者 (supporter) 揮動 (wave) 他所創立的蘋果日報 (Apple Daily) 副本 (copy)。
記者用了不同方式描述他:media baron 和 outspoken newspaper founder,這是常見的寫作手法。
HONG KONG—Pro-democracy media baron Jimmy Lai was released on bail after his Monday arrest led to a public show of support for the outspoken critic of Beijing among Hong Kong’s opposition.
📌 這段改寫 (paraphrase) 標題和副標題的内容,當中加了一些細節:1. 黎智英是於星期一被捕 (arrest) 以及 2.他批評了北京(即中國政府)。記者重複了outspoken 此字,顯示是一個重點。
As the founder of the Apple Daily newspaper left the police station in the passenger seat of a black Mercedes early Wednesday morning, he gave two thumbs up to crowds of people waiting for his release, many of whom were waving copies of his newspaper and chanting, “Support Apple until the end!”
📌 這段補充黎智英離開警局情況之細節:坐黑色賓士車 (black Mercedes) 離開、向支持者竪起大拇指 (give thumbs up) 和支持者詠唱 (chant) 口號。
Mr. Lai was among 10 people arrested Monday. All of them have been released on bail, including another well-known pro-democracy activist, 23-year-old Agnes Chow, local media reported.
📌 這段說明黎智英外,還有9位人士被逮捕,包括23歲著名的(well-known) 積極分子(activist) Agnes Chow。
Mr. Lai’s arrest was the most high-profile yet under a new national security law China imposed on Hong Kong. Scenes of police officers searching Apple Daily offices, which were streamed live by some of the newspaper’s staff Monday, heightened fears about the future of a free press in Hong Kong.
📌 這段交代黎智英的高調 (high-profile) 逮捕跟在香港實施的國安法(national security law) 的關係,人們更害怕自由傳媒(free press) 在香港的未來 (future)。
His arrest galvanized support around the city. Scores of Hong Kongers lined up early Tuesday to purchase copies of the daily, which bore the front-page headline, “Apple Daily will fight on.”
📌 他的逮捕刺激了 (galvanize) 市民的支持。scores of 的意思是很多,也是常用說法。
The stock price of Next Digital Ltd., which publishes the newspaper, surged after Mr. Lai’s arrest to its highest level in more than seven years, up 1,150% this week. They were helped by opposition supporters’ calls to rally behind the stock. The company’s market capitalization now stands at around 2.9 billion Hong Kong dollars ($374 million), larger than USA Today owner Gannett Co. ’s $241.26 million.
📌 這段針對時間對出版蘋果日報那家公司的股價 (stock price) 的影響。surge (急劇上升)、level (水平) 和up (增加了)常常用來描述趨勢。
