/ May 10, 2019 Ex-F.T. Island Member Arrested over Gang Rape . Summary: Choi Jong-hoon, a former member of the popular K-pop group “F.T. Island”, was arrested recently on charges of gang rape that happened in 2016. Ordering the arrest because there was sufficient proof, the Seoul Central District Court even suggested that Choi attempted to destroy evidence linking him to this heinous crime. . Language Enhancement: Heinous (adj.)(令人髮指的／極差勁的) Heinous 形容行為是「令人髮指的」，因此經常與 crime/offence/act 搭配使用。在非正式美式英文中 heinous 也可作為 extremely bad 的同義字。 e.g. Murder is considered to be one of the most heinous crimes. e.g. “I can’t believe we only get a single week off from school for the break. It’s heinous!” ————————————————— 想每日睇新聞🗞，學英文📚🔠？ 快啲 follow @k.e.n.joy 及 bookmark ————————————————— #english #news #englishinnews #newsoftheday #language #enhancement #dse #kennethlau #kenjoy #英文 #時事英文熱點 #2019dse #2020dse #2021dse #dsefighter #dseenglish #dse2019 #dsefighter #2019dsefighter #2020dsefighter #dseeng #hkdse #hkdseenglish #20190510

/ December 27, 2017 WeChat to Issue Electronic ID . Summary: Tencent’s immensely popular chatting app and payment platform, WeChat, is starting a trial programme in Guangzhou, where users may register within the app for a virtual ID card sanctioned by the Chinese government. Upon successful registration, users with virtual ID cards may use them in place of their traditional physical ID cards. . Language Enhancement: Sanction (n.)(制裁／認可) Sanction (v.)(認可) 此字可作名詞或動詞，但它們的意思卻是差之千里。名詞的 sanction 是解作「制裁」，常見於政治和國際舞台；動詞的 sanction 則是正式用字，解作「批准」，與 allow (v.) 和 permit (v.) 同義，但基本上只會於最正式的官方場合使用。事實上，sanction (n.) 也可解作「准許」，但為免造成誤會，使用其他同義字較為理想。 e.g. The United Nations have imposed economic sanctions on North Korea. e.g. People in China are not allowed to access websites that are not sanctioned by the government. . #english #news #englishinnews #newsoftheday #language #enhancement #dse #kennethlau #kenjoy #英文 #時事英文熱點 #dse2018 #dse2019 #dse2020 #dsefighter #dseenglish #2018dse #2019dse #2020dse #20171227
