Woman Called 911 with Her Feet When Injured While Changing Tyre
.
Summary:
All the while enduring the severe pain and the horrifying sight of her two hands crushed between the tyre and the fender of her car, an American woman managed to keep her wits about her and used her feet to call the police on her phone when the simple job of changing a flat tyre on a motorway went nightmarishly wrong – the jack malfunctioned and thus got her hands trapped.
.
Language Enhancement:
Keep/Have sb.’s wits about sb. (idm.)(保持冷靜)
這習語與中文的「急中生智」相近，意思是面對意料之外的處境時仍然保住自己的 wits (n.)「機智」。
e.g. Lots of things can happen when you report news live; all you can do is to keep your wits about you. You can brush it off as if nothing has happened or make a light-hearted response.
e.g. The police gave praise to the 6-year-old, who kept his wits about him when his mother experienced a heart attack at home. Had he not called the ambulance and said his address accurately, the woman would very likely have died. —————————————————

讓我們互道一聲晚安，迎接那嶄新的明天。2019年4月19日，AIT的華語學校的學生、老師、校友、退休教師和職員齊聚一堂，向陽明山上歷史悠久的華語學校致敬並道別。自1979年起，AIT的華語學校便座落於中國文化大學附近的碧山幽徑間。華語學校自台中的校舍 (1955-1979) 搬到陽明山上後，為上百位美國外交官打下紮實的中文根基，也為日後在此區域成功拓展美國利益與價值做好準備；其他夥伴國家的外交人才也曾在此學習過中文。過去40年來，華語學校的學生和老師也締結了強健的友誼，正如美台歷久彌新的友誼和夥伴關係。許多資深官員，包括AIT現任處長和副處長，都是這間學校的傑出校友。陽明山在過去的歲月中是絕佳的學習地點，而華語學校也成為當地社區的重要一環。當我們與陽明山道別之際，我們也預備在AIT內湖新館展開新頁；在我們搬進新館之後，也許會有一陣子感覺像《三國演義》的關羽一樣：「身在新館，心在山！」#AITat40 #AITinNeihu
Farewell but not goodbye. On April 19, 2019, current students and teachers, school alumni, and retired teachers and staff gathered one last time to celebrate and bid a fond farewell to our school’s long-time home on Yangmingshan. AIT’s Chinese Language and Area Studies School (CLASS) has been nestled within the trees and hills near Chinese Culture University since 1979. Since moving from Taichung (where the language school was from 1955-1979) to our mountain retreat on Yangmingshan, CLASS has trained several hundred U.S. Foreign Service Officers (and some from partner/ally countries) in intermediate and advanced Chinese language, preparing them to be effective emissaries of American interests and values in this region. During the last four decades, CLASS’s students and teachers have also built strong bonds as part of the enduring U.S.-Taiwan friendship and partnership. Many senior officers, including the current AIT Director and Deputy Director, are alumni of this prestigious program. Yangmingshan has been a welcoming location for forty years and CLASS has become a well-known part of the local community. As we bid farewell to one home here on Yangmingshan, we prepare for a new chapter in CLASS’s storied legacy at the new AIT in Neihu. To borrow from the period of the Three Kingdoms, perhaps for a time after moving into our new facility we might feel somewhat like Guan Gong. Only our words will be: 身在新館 心在山！

【Enduring the More Frequent Droughts】
More frequent droughts and reservoirs with shrinking capacity mean constant water shortages in Taiwan. An integrated approach outlined in a national drought management policy is needed to deal with this threat.
對於乾旱，台灣人並不陌生，只是健忘。 全球暖化，讓大旱出現愈來愈頻繁。 水庫存量持續下探，台灣再也不能期盼下場大雨，就能緩和長年缺水的渴。 而該用更全面的角度，制訂更長遠的「國家乾旱管理政策」。
