Shenzhen Reservoir Discharge May Cause Floods
.
Summary:
When flooding is once again plaguing New Territories because of the recent torrential downpour, the Hong Kong government was notified last night at 2:37 a.m. that Shenzhen Reservoir had discharged some of its water reserves, where the possibility of adding insult to injury could not be ruled out.

Language Enhancement:
Discharge (v./n.)(釋放/排放物)
字根 charge (n.) 有多個意思,其中一個是常見於 in charge of sth. 的「責任/承擔」,因此加上反義標示的字首 dis–,意思就是把承擔卸除,也就是「釋放/排放」。如果我們 discharge 的不是物而是一個人,意思是解除他/她的責任,等同「解僱/批准離開(紀律部隊、監獄或醫院)」。
e.g. After failing to meet his quotas for six consecutive months, Ronald was discharged from the sales team.
e.g. Edmond is eligible for an early discharge from jail because of his good behaviour. —————————————————
