【電影中時常出現滿滿的戰爭片語，你搞懂了嗎？】#實用英文
漫威英雄們經歷許多的戰役。而在英文中，有不少與戰爭有關的片語。例如fight an uphill battle－Uphill是「上坡的」，延伸出「費力的」的意思。所以這句表達的就是「苦戰、打一場硬仗」的意思。
而choose your battles，字面意思是「選擇你的戰役」，但實際上卻是相反的意思……

★★★★★★★★★★★★
The threat of emerging infectious diseases to global health and the economy, trade, and tourism has never abated. Pandemics can spread rapidly around the world because of the ease of international transportation. Among the most salient examples are the Spanish flu of 1918, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak of 2003, and the H1N1 influenza of 2009. Intermittently, serious regional epidemics, such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012, Ebola in West Africa in 2014, and the Zika virus in Central and South America in 2016, have also reared their heads.
1. the threat of ⋯⋯的威脅
2. emerging infectious disease 新興傳染病
3. abate (v.) 減少；消除
4. salient examples 顯著的例子
5. regional epidemics 地區流行疫情；地區性流行病
6. rear their heads（令人不悅之事）發生；出現
新興傳染病對全球人類健康及經貿旅遊的威脅從未間斷過，舉凡１９１８年西班牙流感、２００３年嚴重急性呼吸道症候群（ＳＡＲＳ）、２００９年Ｈ１Ｎ１新型流感等爆發的全球大流行，抑或２０１２年中東呼吸症候群冠狀病毒感染症（ＭＥＲＳ）、２０１４年西非伊波拉出血熱、２０１６年中南美洲茲卡病毒感染症等導致的區域大流行，皆因國際航空運輸而加速散播到全球各地，造成全球衛生安全不可避免的傷害。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Today, a novel form of pneumonia that first emerged in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019 and has since been classified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic. As of April 20, 2020, World Health Organization data showed that 2.24 million people had been confirmed as having the disease, with 152,551 deaths in 211 countries/areas/territories. Taiwan has not been spared.
7. a novel form of ⋯⋯的新種類
8. be classified as 被分類為⋯⋯
9. a global pandemic 全球大流行
10. be confirmed as 被確認為⋯⋯
11. be spared 不被傷害；被赦免
更有甚者，２０１９年底從中國武漢傳出的不明原因肺炎，現已在全球各地爆發大流行，截至ＷＨＯ在２０２０年４月８日的統計數據，全球已有1,353,361名確診病例、79,235名死亡，影響範圍擴及２１１個國家／區域／地區，臺灣亦無從倖免。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
As of April 20, Taiwan had tested a total of 55,476 persons showing 422 confirmed cases of COVID-19, of which 55 were indigenous, 343 imported, and 24 are Navy members currently serving in the fleet. Taiwan has reported just six deaths; 203 people have been released from the hospital after testing negative. Despite its proximity to China, Taiwan ranked 123rd among 183 countries in terms of confirmed cases per million people. This has shown that Taiwan’s aggressive efforts to control the epidemic are working.
12. as of 截至⋯⋯
13. confirmed cases 確診病例
14. indigenous 本土的
15. proximity to 鄰近
16. in terms of 就⋯⋯而言
17. aggressive efforts 積極的努力
截至４月２０日止，我國已累計檢驗55,476例，共發現４２２起確診病例，其中本土５５例、境外移入３４３例以及敦睦遠訓支隊２４例。我國目前６例死亡；經三次採檢均為陰性的出院者２０３例。我國在地理位置上雖鄰近中國，然每百萬人口確診數在國際間排名約第１２３名，顯示臺灣防疫工作成效顯著。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
A crisis anywhere readily becomes a problem everywhere. Global health security requires the efforts of every person to ensure an optimal response to public health threats and challenges. Taiwan, though not a member of WHO, cannot stand alone and must be included in the fight against such threats and challenges. Taiwan has fulfilled its responsibilities as a global citizen and abided by the International Health Regulations 2005 (IHR 2005) in notifying the WHO of confirmed COVID-19 cases.
18. global health security 全球衛生安全

21. fulfill its responsibilities 履行職責
22. abide by 遵守；信守（協議、決定或規章）
23. notify sb. of sth. 將某事通報某人
疾病無國界，星星之火足以燎原，地方疫情控制不好即可能造成全球大流行。因此，維護全球衛生安全亟需全體人類共同努力，確保最佳量能因應公共衛生威脅與挑戰。我國雖非ＷＨＯ會員，但無法獨善其身、置身於全球衛生安全之外，故秉持世界公民之責，恪守國際衛生條例２００５（ＩＨＲ ２００５）規範，主動向ＷＨＯ通報確診病例，
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Moreover, Taiwan has communicated with other countries such as Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, the United States, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands, as well as the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, to share information on confirmed cases, travel and contact histories of patients, and border control measures. Taiwan has uploaded the genetic sequence of COVID-19 to the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID). Taiwan has worked with global partners to respond to the threat of COVID-19 to ensure that global health is not imperiled by a lack of communication and transparency.
24. communicate with 與⋯⋯交流（資訊、思想或感情等）
25. share information on 分享⋯⋯的資訊
26. travel and contact histories 旅行與接觸史
27. border control measures 邊境管制措施
28. genetic sequence 基因序列
29. be imperiled by 因⋯⋯而被危及
30. a lack of communication and transparency 缺乏溝通與透明度
同時積極與日本、韓國、新加坡、馬來西亞、菲律賓、美國、加拿大、義大利、法國、瑞士、德國、英國、比利時、荷蘭等國家及歐盟ＣＤＣ分享交流武漢肺炎確診病例、接觸者旅遊史、邊境管制措施等資訊，並將病毒基因序列上傳「全球共享禽流感數據倡議組織（ＧＩＳＡＩＤ）」供各國查詢，共同因應此波新興傳染病毒之威脅，確保全球衛生安全不再因缺乏溝通及透明度而產生致命性盲點。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
We urge the WHO and related parties to acknowledge Taiwan’s longstanding contributions to the international community in the areas of public health, disease prevention, and the human right to health, and to include Taiwan in WHO and its meetings, mechanisms, and activities. Taiwan will continue to work with the rest of the world to ensure that all enjoy the fundamental human right to health as stipulated in the WHO Constitution. Echoing the mantra of the United Nations’2030 Sustainable Development Goals, no one should be left behind.
31. urge sb. to do sth. 呼籲某人去做某事
32. longstanding contributions 長期的貢獻
33. disease prevention 疾病預防
34. the human right to health 有關於健康的人權
35. will continue to... 將持續⋯⋯
36. fundamental human right 基本人權
37. the mantra of ⋯⋯的口號
38. no one should be left behind 不遺漏任何人
我們籲請ＷＨＯ及相關各方注及臺灣長期以來對全球公共衛生防疫以及健康人權之貢獻，堅定支持將臺灣納入ＷＨＯ，讓臺灣完整參與ＷＨＯ各項會議、機制及活動，與世界各國攜手，共同落實ＷＨＯ憲章「健康是基本人權」及聯合國永續發展目標「不遺漏任何人」之願景。

🥊 Boxing Idioms Part 2
本週繼續拳擊諺語 👊 Round Two！先來猜猜以下3個用語的意思：
1. beat sb. to the punch「搶先出拳」→ ❓
2. roll with the punches「順著對方出拳躲避」→ ❓
3. down for the count「輸了」→ ❓
-
In boxing, it’s all about the punches, so there are plenty of punch-related idioms. Every boxer wants to beat his opponent to the punch—i.e. punch the other guy before the other guy punches him, 📌 so “beat sb. to the punch” can also mean “to do or achieve something before sb. else.” Ex: I wanted to ask Kate to dance, but Dan beat me to the punch.
When your opponent is throwing punches at you left and right, you need to roll with the punches—move in a way that lessens the damage—if you want to stay in the fight. in everyday life, 📌 “roll with the punches” means to adjust or adapt to difficulties to lessen their impact. Ex: Life has many ups and downs, so you’d better learn to roll with the punches.
If you’re not able to roll with the punches, you may get KO’d (KO stands for “knock out”). When that happens, the referee counts to 10, and if you don’t get up before he finishes, you’re “down for the count,” and the fight is over. Outside of boxing, 📌 “down for the count” can mean failing, defeated or sound asleep. Ex: The company has so much debt that it’s likely down for the count.
【 ✍ 關鍵單字 】
1. punch：「出拳、揮擊」
2. lessen：「減輕、降低」
3. adjust/adapt to：「適應、習慣～」
4. KO：「擊倒」，原為拳擊術語，為knock out的縮寫。
5. referee：「（運動比賽的）裁判」，拳擊除了有台上裁判referee，也有judge，即台下的「評判員」。
【 ✍ 中譯】
拳擊簡單來說就是出拳的運動，所以有不少跟出拳有關的生活用語。拳擊手總是想比對手搶先出拳，📌 因此beat sb. to the punch也有『搶先某人一步、捷足先登』的意思。如：I wanted to ask Kate to dance, but Dan beat me to the punch.（我本來想約凱特，卻被丹搶先一步。）
當對手朝你左右揮拳猛烈攻擊時，你就需要順著對方揮拳躲避，以降低傷害、爭取站在場上的時間。所以，若是說你要在日常生活中roll with the punches，就是要你順應困難情況做出應變，以降低傷害，也就是『隨機應變；兵來將擋、水來土掩』。如：Life has many ups and downs, so you’d better learn to roll with the punches.（人生有起有落，你最好要學會隨機應變。）
當你招架不住對方攻勢而被擊倒在地，裁判會從十開始倒數，如果你在倒數結束前都無法站起來，那你就是down for the count「輸了」，這回合也隨之結束。📌 出了拳擊場，片語down for the count也有『失敗、被擊倒；熟睡』之意。如：The company has so much debt that it’s likely down for the count.（公司負債累累，快完蛋了。）
