翻譯 Translation
Xiaoshi: Mark, have you heard of Feng Shui?
Mark: Yes, I have. It’s something Taiwanese pay attention to when buying a house, right?
Xiaoshi: Yes, Taiwanese believe that the living environment can affect a person’s personality and health.
Mark: I heard from other Taiwanese friends that living near a
hospital makes it easy to get sick, is that true?
Xiaoshi: Yes, that’s right. Also, there should be sufficient lighting in the living room at home. If a room is too dark, it may affect your luck.
Mark: I agree with that. If sunlight can’t come into the living room, it can affect one’s mood.
Xiaoshi: Some people also say that you shouldn’t place knives or swords at home because they are considered weapons.
Mark: Wow! It seems like there are many things to pay attention to in Feng Shui.
Xiaoshi: Yes, you’re right. If I get the chance, I would like to study it thoroughly.

Many patients with certain types of cancers suffer from damage to their blood cells due to the cancer itself or treatments like chemotherapy. To help rebuild healthy blood cells, patients often receive bone marrow transplants by using either pluripotent or hematopoietic stem cells. A bone marrow or stem cell transplant can speed up recovery and boost healthy blood cell production. There are primarily two types of bone marrow transplants: autologous and allogeneic. The former involves using the patient’s own stem cells, while the latter uses stem cells from a matching donor, usually a relative with a compatible human leukocyte
It’s won Oscars. Its television shows and K-pop stars dominate global charts. Its leading novelist just won the Nobel literature prize. How did South Korea become such a global cultural powerhouse? What is Hallyu? From the late 1990s, Korean dramas and K-pop idols started gaining traction in neighboring Asian countries like China and Japan, marking the start of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave. It wasn’t until Psy’s breakout hit “Gangnam Style” that Hallyu hit the West. In the decade that followed, “Babyshark” broke YouTube records, K-pop megastars BTS topped the charts, Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” won an Oscar, and Squid Game
在防疫期間,「超前部署」此一用語常見諸報章,成為台灣很夯的熱詞 (buzzword): 超前部署並非2020 年才出現的用語,以下為一些過去台灣政府官員曾使用「超前部署」的語境: 總統馬英九今天指出,八八風災帶來很大教訓,應落實災害防救工作……料敵從寬,禦敵從嚴,超前部署……2010 年 5 月 26 日,《中央社》 行政院副院長張善政……表示,蓮花颱風速度雖然減緩……料敵從嚴,並以超前部署為原則……2015 年 7 月 7 日,《新聞傳播處》 《今日科學》有篇文章 “Outbreak science: Infectious disease research leads to outbreak predictions” 就提到做好預判,有利政府防疫的「超前部署」: Infectious disease outbreaks, whether they be widespread like Influenza or fairly geographically restricted like Ebola, may be difficult to prevent . . . if we can forecast outbreak potential in time, public health officials and governments can preemptively prepare for a potential outbreak event. 傳染病爆發,無論是像流感那樣全面,或像伊波拉那種侷限某些地理區域,都很難預防— 然而,如果我們可以及時預知(疾病)爆發的可能,公衛當局和政府便可以為潛在的疫情爆發提前部署。 Science Daily, January 8, 2020 所以「超前部署」若是在「防災/防疫」的語境下,可譯為preemptive preparation 或 preemptive preparedness,如果用作動詞,可以說 preemptively prepare for (an outbreak, etc.)。 《世界雜誌》上有位作者提到 preemptive 和 preparation 的差異,她說 preemptive 的弦外之音是 heading off something undesirable(避凶/避災): “Preemptive” and “preparation” both refer to work done ahead
