New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will resign
紐約州長古莫將辭職

relinquish 放棄
impeachment 彈劾
legislature 立法機構
scrutiny 仔細審查
allegation 指控
acknowledge 承認

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday that he will resign, relinquishing under extraordinary pressure his decade-long grip on power and heading off a potential impeachment by New York's Democratic-led legislature a week after the release of a report by the state attorney general that found he had sexually harassed 11 women.
紐約州長古莫在周二表示他將辭職。在巨大的壓力下，他放棄長達十年的權力控制，並在州檢察長發布一份報告發現他對11名女性性騷擾一週後，阻止由紐約民主黨主導的立法機構可能對他進行的彈劾。

The announcement capped a remarkable fall for the governor, who was lauded for his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 only to see his administration swallowed up in scandal -- over his alleged sexual misbehavior, the underreporting of nursing home deaths related to the coronavirus and his potential abuse of public resources as he wrote a book last year about the pandemic in New York.
這一項宣布讓古莫跌落神壇，他在2020年春天處理新冠疫情受到稱讚，結果看到他的團隊陷入因為他被指控不當性行為、少報療養院新冠死亡人數以及去年寫了一本關於紐約大流行的書時，可能濫用公共資源的醜聞中。

As his handling of the pandemic came under increasing scrutiny, including through an ongoing federal inquiry, a series of reports about his personal behavior left him politically stricken. Even now, as he prepares to leave office, Cuomo could potentially face criminal charges related to the allegations against him.
隨著他處理大流行病的方式受到越來越多審查，包含通過正在進行的聯邦調查，一系列關於他個人行為的報導，讓他在政治上受到打擊。即使到了現在，當他準備離任，古莫還是有可能面臨不利於他相關的刑事指控。

Cuomo has denied all of the allegations, saying he never touched anyone inappropriately, but acknowledged that some of his behavior made others uncomfortable.
古莫否認所有指控，稱他從沒有不當觸碰任何人，但他承認有些行為可能讓人感到不舒服。

妊娠嘔吐紓緩有法
女生如果出現作嘔作悶徵狀，很快就令人聯想到懷孕，妊娠嘔吐是懷孕初期常見症狀之一，又稱為「害喜」，中醫稱之為「惡阻」，是因為懷孕後胃失和降所致，除了會有胸悶不舒、噁心嘔吐、頭重目眩的情況，聞到特定氣味會出現反感，甚至進食某些食物會嘔吐。如果本身脾胃虛弱或偏痰濕或濕熱都較容易出現害喜情況，一般輕微孕吐不影響胎兒，適量食用陳皮或薑製品等止嘔食材就可紓緩症狀。如果情況嚴重，例如完全無法進食、出現脫水情況就需求醫治理。

紓緩妊娠嘔吐飲食小貼士：
1. 進食屬性平和的食物，少吃多餐
2. 嘔吐後補充水份或飲用米水
3. 不宜進補，宜健脾胃
4. 避免進食肥膩或生冷食物
5. 隨身帶備陳皮或薑製品等止嘔食材

DIY止嘔米水：
材料：紫蘇葉9克、酸柑2枚、大肚婆米水粉1包、冰糖適量
做法：將材料洗淨，酸柑切片、紫蘇葉剪成絲，保溫瓶內加入熱水，然後倒入米水粉及其他材料，焗約15-20分鐘即可。
*米水容易變壞，建議一天內飲用，不要過夜。

Tips to relieve morning sickness
Whenever a woman feels nauseated, we would automatically think of pregnancy. Morning sickness is one of the common symptoms during the first trimester of pregnancy. To Chinese physicians, morning sickness is caused by an imbalance in the stomach, and it is pernicious in nature. Besides experiencing chest discomfort, dizziness, and feeling nauseous, some would find certain smells disgusting and vomit after eating certain food.

Individuals with weak spleen and stomach or those with a phlegm-dampness or damp heat body constitution would develop morning sickness more easily. Mild vomiting during pregnancy would not affect the fetus. Do consume some dried orange peels and ginger products to relieve the condition. If morning sickness persists and severely affects the appetite or causes dehydration, pregnant mothers should consult doctors for medical advice.

Tips on food that can help relieve morning sickness:
1. Consume mild-natured foods, have more frequent meals and eat less during each meal
2. Be sure to hydrate after vomiting with water or rice water
3. Avoid nourishing the body inappropriately, it is suitable to strengthen the spleen and stomach
4. Avoid oily, raw and cold foods
5. Moderately consume anti-nausea food such as dried orange peel or ginger-products

DIY anti-nausea rice water:
Ingredients: 9g purple perilla tea leaves, 2 calamansi, 1 pack pregnant rice water powder, rock sugar to taste
Preparation: Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Slice the calamansi into pieces. Shred the purple perilla tea leaves. Add hot water into the thermos and add all the ingredients. Steep for 15-20 minutes and ready to serve.

[時事英文] Alzheimer’s Prediction May Be Found in Writing Tests

沒想到英文寫作可以用來預測阿爾茨海默症。

受試者當中應該沒有第二語言學習者吧。

Alzheimer’s Prediction May Be Found in Writing Tests
阿爾茨海默症可以預測嗎？寫作測試也許提供了答案

Is it possible to predict who will develop Alzheimer’s disease simply by looking at writing patterns years before there are symptoms? According to a new study by IBM researchers, the answer is yes. And, they and others say that Alzheimer’s is just the beginning. People with a wide variety of neurological illnesses have distinctive language patterns that, investigators suspect, may serve as early warning signs of their diseases.

• Alzheimer’s disease 阿爾茨海默症
• symptoms 癥狀、症狀
• according to a new study 根據一個新研究
• a wide variety of 多種～的
• neurological illnesses 神經系統疾病
• distinctive language patterns 獨特的語言模式
• an early warning sign of ～的早期預警訊號

有沒有可能在出現癥狀之前的幾年裡，僅僅通過觀察書寫模式來預測誰會患上阿爾茨海默症？ 根據IBM研究人員的一項新研究，答案是肯定的。而且，他們和其他一些研究人員表示，阿爾茨海默症的預測只是開始。研究人員懷疑，患有多種神經系統疾病的人都有著獨特的語言模式，可能是他們疾病的早期預警信號。

The researchers examined the subjects’ word usage with an artificial intelligence program that looked for subtle differences in language. It identified one group of subjects who were more repetitive in their word usage at that earlier time when all of them were cognitively normal. These subjects also made errors, such as spelling words wrongly or inappropriately capitalizing them, and they used telegraphic language, meaning language that has a simple grammatical structure and is missing subjects and words like “the,” “is” and “are.”

• word usage 詞彙使用情況
• subtle differences 細微差別
• artificial intelligence 人工智慧
• repetitive 重複的
• telegraphic language* 電報式語言
• simple grammatical structure 簡單的語法結構

研究人員利用一個人工智慧程序，檢查受試者的詞彙使用情況，尋找語言上的細微差別。他們鑒定出一組受試者，在早期所有人的認知能力都正常的情況下，他們的用詞重複情況更為嚴重。這些測試對象還會犯一些錯誤，比如拼寫錯誤或者大寫使用不當，而且會使用電報式語言——語法結構簡單，漏掉主語以及「the」、「is」和「are」這樣的詞。

*telegraphic language is speech during the two-word stage of language acquisition in children, which is laconic and efficient but lack of function words, tense and plural endings on nouns.

The members of that group turned out to be the people who developed Alzheimer’s disease. The A.I. program predicted, with 75 percent accuracy, who would get Alzheimer’s disease, according to results published recently in The Lancet journal EClinicalMedicine. “We had no prior assumption that word usage would show anything,” said Ajay Royyuru, vice president of health care and life sciences research at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., where the A.I. analysis was done.

• develop a disease 患上疾病
• with % accuracy 準確率達～％
• no prior assumption 沒有先想到、先假設到
• usage （詞語或語言的）用法
• A.I. analysis 人工智慧分析

這群人後來都患上了阿爾茨海默症。根據《柳葉刀》(The Lancet)子刊《臨床醫學》(EClinicalMedicine)最近發表的研究結果，該人工智慧能夠預測誰將患上阿爾茨海默症，準確率達75%。「我們之前沒有想到用詞情況還有這個用途，」紐約州約克敦高地的IBM托馬斯·沃森研究中心(IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center)醫療保健和生命科學研究副總裁阿賈伊·羅伊尤魯(Ajay Royyuru)說。人工智慧分析就是在該中心進行的。
