每日口說挑戰【CNN10】 疫情調查及接觸追蹤真的能幫助我們戰勝疫情嗎 ? (Can Contact Tracing Help us Overcome COVID-19?)

On average = approximately = about = in the ballpark (大約）

Not in the ballpark if the number is far away from the exact one

You think 500 million people living in Taiwan? That is not even in the ballpark. It’s far from the real population of Taiwan.

Yea, you drink about 3 glasses of beer a day. That sounds like in the ballpark(聽起來差不多是).

Mean number 平均數

On average(平均來說）, I eat pizza a couple times a month(two or three times a month).

On average, there are 13 car accidents a week in this town.

*“The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know ”is a paradoxical theory I am interested in. So I rarely stand on one’s side between two different arguments.

接觸史的追蹤一方面是為了供監測之用，另一方面這也是用來維護公共衛生，已經受到廣泛運用的方法，而且專家們也深信這是能夠對抗新冠病毒大爆發的一個關鍵策略。
【心得】這個時機徵信社可能業績也下滑，有政府在追蹤監測聯絡記錄，已婚者應該很難藏得住小三/小王。
The paradox I can think of is "the more you know, the more you realize you don't know."
