單詞這樣記不會(huì)忘

Selfie Wrist /on the Rise /in Bid to /Take Perfect Picture

為了拍出完美的照片,“自拍腕”在上升

Wrist;手腕,腕關(guān)節(jié)(形體詞:W不發(fā)音,恰恰這個(gè)不發(fā)音的詞造就了它的意思)

in Bid to:為了(聯(lián)系 in order to)

A growing number of young people /are having treatment, some even undergoing surgery,for pain caused/ by taking selfies. Dubbed "Selfie wrist", the condition /is a form of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)caused /by repeated inward flexing /of the wrist/ to capture a perfect picture.

越來越多的年輕人因?yàn)樽耘囊鸬奶弁凑诮邮苤委?,有些人甚至正在接受手術(shù)。這種癥狀被稱為“自拍腕關(guān)節(jié)”,是一種腕管綜合癥(CTS)的一種表現(xiàn)形式,患者反復(fù)向內(nèi)彎曲手腕來捕捉完美的畫面。

Undergoing:遭受,接受。(under-go,在下面走,其實(shí)這個(gè)詞不是主動(dòng)愿意的,誰也不愿意走在下面,都想往高處走,so…)

Surgery:外科手術(shù)(詞匯聯(lián)想:這個(gè)詞和survey很像,調(diào)查一個(gè)未知的項(xiàng)目,特別像做一個(gè)未知的開刀手術(shù))

Carpal:腕骨(形體詞)

Tunnel:軌道,隧道(形體詞,unn…的特別像那些隧道)

Syndrome:綜合征(詞匯聯(lián)想詞:synthetic合成的)

Inward:向內(nèi)的(拆詞法:In-ward,in代表里的)

In an interview/ with The Sunday Times, Dr Raj Ragoowansi, a consultant plastic surgeon /based in Harley Street, said he has noted a rise/ in young patients suffering from the condition. He also warned of an increase of "iPhone thumb", or tendonitis /caused by repeated use of the thumb/ when using mobiles.

在接受《星期日泰晤士報(bào)》采訪時(shí),哈里街的整形外科顧問拉吉·拉古萬西醫(yī)生說,他注意到越來越多的年輕病人患有這種疾病。他還警告說,“iPhone拇指”的增多,也就是使用手機(jī)時(shí)反復(fù)使用拇指導(dǎo)致的肌腱炎。

Tendonitis:肌腱炎(這個(gè)就當(dāng)作一個(gè)專有名詞來解釋吧)

Explaining "selfie wrist", Dr Ragoowansi said/ it is caused by holding the camera "flexed" and "unfavourable position", and if this is done repeatedly/ the blood supply /of the median nerve/ which travels through /the carpal tunnel/ into the hand /will be "compromised, causing pain and numbness".

在解釋“自拍手腕”時(shí),拉古萬斯醫(yī)生說/這是由于拿著相機(jī)“彎曲”和“姿勢(shì)不佳”造成的,如果反復(fù)這樣做/正中神經(jīng)的血液供應(yīng)/穿過/腕管/進(jìn)入手部/將會(huì)“受損,導(dǎo)致疼痛和麻木”。

Compromised:妥協(xié),讓步,連累(拆詞法:com-promised,合起來一起答應(yīng)的,就像是結(jié)婚了,女方家要彩禮錢,還不便宜,然后男方由于太喜歡這個(gè)女生了,和這個(gè)父母商量后一起合起伙來答應(yīng),叫妥協(xié)。換句話說就是男方連累了他爸媽)

He added that the carpal tunnel "is an unforgiving space". Carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated /by refraining from/ the activity that/caused it, wearing splints and carrying out hand /and wrist exercises, and can take months to get better.

他補(bǔ)充說,腕管“是一個(gè)無情的空間”。腕管綜合癥可以通過避免引起這種癥狀的活動(dòng)、戴夾板、進(jìn)行手部和腕部鍛煉來治療,而且可能需要幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間才能好轉(zhuǎn)。

Unforgiving:不原諒人的(拆詞法un-forgiving,延伸為無情的,我就玩一下手機(jī)都不行嘛,動(dòng)不動(dòng)就讓我得CTS,太無情了吧)

refraining from:克制,抑制避免(拆詞法; re-frain再一次的怎么怎么,再一次“服你”,避免和你發(fā)生正面沖突)

splints:夾板。碎鉆石(這個(gè)鉆石是不是真的我不知道,但是夾板“是普林”牌的,好啦開玩笑)

In severe cases /it can required steroid injections/ and even surgery. Dr Ragoowansi said he has had to /operate on patients /to cut the carpal tunnel /to relieve pressure on the nerve.? “In one 26-year-old/ I saw/ a month ago /the numbness /was so severe that /she couldn’t grip," he explained, adding that earlier this month another woman, who also told him she regularly /took selfies, presented with /“severely numb fingertips”.

在嚴(yán)重的情況下,可能需要類固醇注射甚至手術(shù)。拉古萬斯醫(yī)生說,他不得不給病人做手術(shù),切斷腕管以減輕對(duì)神經(jīng)的壓力。他解釋說:“一個(gè)月前,我看到一個(gè)26歲的人,她的麻木程度非常嚴(yán)重,根本抓不住。”

Grip;緊握(形體詞:小寫的g有點(diǎn)像那個(gè)鳳爪,用爪子抓東西)

numbness /?n?mn?s/:麻木(音標(biāo)法,一讀這個(gè)詞就特別壓抑,不像big這樣,爽爽朗朗就讀出來了。特別呆木)

Dr Ragoowansi said both patients /required steroid injections/ to bring down/ the swelling of the nerve, but he believes one /may still require surgery /due to the severity of her condition. The surgeon stressed that /he could not conclusively prove symptoms had been caused/ by taking too many selfies, but believed /it was the most plausible explanation.?

拉古萬西醫(yī)生說,這兩位病人都需要注射類固醇來抑制神經(jīng)的腫脹,但他認(rèn)為,由于病情的嚴(yán)重,其中一位可能仍需要手術(shù)治療。這位外科醫(yī)生強(qiáng)調(diào)說,他不能確切地證明這些癥狀是由于自拍過多引起的,但他認(rèn)為這是最合理的解釋。

bring down:抑制

swelling;腫脹(詞匯聯(lián)想:swimming多了,身體就swelling了)

conclusively:最后地,決定性的(拆詞法:conclu-sively→conclude-sively總結(jié)性的)

plausible:合理的,貌似有理的

“I’ve seen a 30% to 40% increase/ in patients, men and women, between the ages of 18 and 35 /presenting with carpal tunnel syndrome, which I rarely used/ to see." “It’s not just selfies but texting too, about how/ you hold the phone and type.” "We’re also seeing ‘iPhone thumb’, whereby if you keep on using your thumb, you will get thumb-based pain, due to joint or /tend on inflammation.”

“我發(fā)現(xiàn),在18歲至35歲之間出現(xiàn)腕管綜合癥的患者中,男性和女性的比例增加了30%至40%,我以前很少看到這種情況。這不僅僅是自拍,也包括短信,關(guān)于你拿手機(jī)和打字的方式?!拔覀冞€看到了‘iPhone拇指’,如果你繼續(xù)用拇指,你會(huì)因?yàn)殛P(guān)節(jié)或發(fā)炎而導(dǎo)致拇指疼痛?!?br>

Joint:關(guān)節(jié),結(jié)合處(音標(biāo)法:“腳的”腳上有很多關(guān)節(jié);詞匯聯(lián)想法:join-t加入,也就是合并的意思,延伸為結(jié)合處)

inflammation.發(fā)炎,燃燒(拆詞法:in-flamma-tion看中間一個(gè)詞,如果頭腳都是些前綴后綴,那么詞匯意思很可能和中間這個(gè)主詞有關(guān)聯(lián),flame:火焰的意思.這里有個(gè)燃燒的意思,看發(fā)炎的炎也是和火有關(guān))


照騙誠(chéng)可貴,手腕價(jià)更高。朋友們,不要太自拍喔!
