🇭🇰💉🌎 "I don't trust the government." The worst public health disaster in the last 100 years may still be raging. His business hit hard by #pandemic restrictions. But restaurant owner Brian Tam wants nothing to do with the #vaccine. Hong Kong, a city of 7.5 million, should be an easy vaccine success story. It has secured 22.5 million doses from Sinovac, Pfizer/BioNTech and AstraZeneca. A free vaccination campaign has been underway since February. But so far, only about 12% of the population is fully vaccinated -- far behind Singapore, the U.K. and the U.S.. As unused doses pile up in Hong Kong, vaccines are in high demand elsewhere where infection is surging. In this report, we talk to some of the city's residents who refuse to take the jab and find out how mistrust has marred the vaccination drive. 🎥 @tboothhk @jadynbsham @munthousand

[時事英文]日本福島核廢水入海計劃在亞洲引發強烈反彈 Japan’s Plan for Fukushima Wastewater Meets a Wall of Mistrust in Asia TOKYO — In late 2019, the Japanese government convened diplomats from 22 countries for a briefing on its handling of more than a million tons of wastewater from Fukushima’s crippled nuclear reactors. 1. convene 召集了 2. briefing 簡報，簡要介紹；簡報會 3. nuclear reactor 核反應器 ★★★★★★★★★★★★ Storage space was rapidly running out, the authorities explained, and they were considering several solutions. Among them was removing the most harmful radioactive material from the water and then gradually releasing it into the ocean. The diplomats raised no objections, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said. 4. consider several solutions 考慮幾種解決方案 5. harmful radioactive material 有害的放射性物質 6. raise no objections 並未提出反對意見 ★★★★★★★★★★★★ On Tuesday, when Japan officially announced that it would put the plan into action, the knives came out.

China cited “grave concerns.” Taiwan also raised strong objections. 7. put the plan into action 實施這一計劃 8. intolerable 完全不能容忍的 9. express grave concerns 表達嚴重關切 ★★★★★★★★★★★★ Japan has dismissed criticism of its plan as unscientific, saying that the treated water is well within safety standards, and pointing out that such releases into oceans are routine around the world. But its argument, as the reaction on Tuesday showed, leaves Tokyo a long way from winning its neighbors’ trust, a challenge made all the more difficult by growing regional tensions on a range of issues. 10. dismiss criticism 駁斥了批評 11. treated (adj.) 處理的 12. well within safety standards 完全符合安全標準; within 在…裡，在…內；不超過 13. a long way from 有很長的路要走 14. growing regional tensions 不斷加劇的緊張局勢 ★★★★★★★★★★★★ 文章來自《紐約時報》: https://nyti.ms/3gv7E4z #EEL時事英文 #環保時事英文

We stopped by for this bridge destruction, you took this picture and told me that I was beautiful. I rarely see myself as someone who is pretty. It was you who constantly reminded me that. And I put this compliment in my pocket to go on each adventure every day. Because everything you said or do meant a lot to me, weather it’s good or bad. I remember the rush when forever was us Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost Well, I guess I should go, yeah, I guess I should go
