☺Their bite transmits a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into your body, which can trigger an immune system reaction that may lead to mild or severe meat allergies.
這些蟲咬你時會傳遞一種叫做 alpha-gal 的糖分子進入你的體內，可能會進而引發一種免疫系統反應，導致你對肉類產生輕微或甚至很嚴重的過敏。

有沒有叮了之後會讓人不念書就會過敏的蟲啊？

Welcome back, guys! This is Adam! As we approach the spring season, temperatures will begin to rise all throughout Taiwan, people spend more time outside and before you know it...bzzZZz.. We’re already being attacked by mosquitoes! Especially at night, isn’t that the worst sound to hear? It’s pretty incredible how such a small insect can keep us awake. But that isn’t the only thing these pesky bugs do. They suck our blood, and then we wake up with spots and itchy skin. Honestly, as annoying as it is, it’s still pretty tame compared to some of the bug bites mentioned in the featured video. Be sure to check it out! Some of them are horrifying! But how about we insect… I mean, inspect a few words from today’s sentence. Let’s go!

Our sentence to focus on is:

Their bite transmits a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into your body, which can trigger an immune system reaction that may lead to mild or severe meat allergies.

被這些蟲咬會傳遞一種叫做 alpha-gal 的糖分子進入你的體內，進而可能引起一種對肉過敏的免疫反應。

Pronunciation tips:
Alpha-gal (hard ‘g’ sound)
Immune
Mild (long ‘i’)
Allergies

I picked three words to look at today. Let’s start with...

transmit: v. [trænsˋmɪt] 傳送，傳達


Transmit can be anything we send or pass on. This can range from diseases, to feelings, or messages that can be passed on.

Example: Some diseases are transmitted through blood. Others, however, are passed on through saliva.
saliva: n. səˋlaɪvə səˈlaɪ.və - you know that liquid in your mouth that helps you keep everything wet in there and helps you swallow food better.

A way to prevent certain diseases from transmitting is to use some sort of protection, which can be gloves, face masks or condoms.

trigger: v. [ˋtrɪgɚ] 發射；觸發

To trigger means to cause something to start. This doesn’t always have to be intentional, or on purpose.

Example: Drinking red wine can trigger strong headaches for some people.

So, some people drink a glass of red wine and then the pain in the head begins. This can apply to many things that people can’t eat. Some people can absolutely not eat seafood. If they eat it, it will trigger, or cause, allergic reactions and maybe even death.

Okay, two down, one more word to go.

severe: adj. [səˋvɪr] 嚴重的；劇烈的

How about I start off with my example sentence?

Example: The aftermath of the earthquake was severe and the government needed to rely on help from overseas.

Do you have an idea what other words we could use instead of severe? If you said, “serious”, then congratulations! These earthquakes caused severe damage, or very serious damage, and it will take a long time to recover from the disaster. Remember, this word is usually used with something negative. So I wouldn’t say “severe happiness.” Nonetheless, you get my point if I decided to say, I hope you’re showered with severe amounts of happiness this year.

Okay, then let’s wrap it up here for now. Actually, Taiwan has tons of interesting insects, big and small, and to my knowledge some can be dangerous as well. Overall I find them fascinating to observe, just make sure you’re doing it from a safe distance. What bug life have you come across during your lifetime? Have you ever been bitten or attacked? Make sure to leave a comment and share your story, and your recording, of course. Alright, stay safe, everyone! Cheers!

0:35 As we approach the spring season, temperatures will begin to rise all throughout Taiwan, people spend more time outside and before you know it...bzzZZz.. We’re already being attacked by mosquitoes! Especially at night, isn’t that the worst sound to hear? It’s pretty incredible how such a small insect(n.昆蟲) can keep us awake. But that isn’t the only thing these pesky([ˋpɛskɪ]a.討厭的) bugs(n.小蟲子) do. They suck(v.吸吮) our blood, and then we wake up with spots and itchy(a.癢的) skin. Honestly, okay, as annoying as it is, it’s still pretty tame([tem]a.溫順的) compared to some of the bug bites mentioned in the featured video(精選的影片). Be sure to check it out! Some of them are horrifying(a.令人震驚的)! But how about we insect… I mean, inspect([ɪnˋspɛkt]v.審視) a few words from today’s sentence. Let’s go!
Their bite transmits a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into your body, which can trigger an immune system reaction that may lead to mild or severe meat allergies. (以下翻譯取自uinickname) 這些蟲咬你時會傳遞一種叫做 alpha-gal 的糖分子進入你的體內，可能會進而引發一種免疫系統反應，導致你對肉類產生輕微或甚至很嚴重的過敏。

1. transmit [trænsˋmɪt] v. 傳送，傳達
Transmit can be anything we send or pass on. Again, it’s a verb. This can range(v.範圍) from diseases, or feelings, or messages that can be passed on.
Ex: Some diseases are transmitted/passed on through blood. Others, however, are passed on through saliva([səˋlaɪvə]n.唾液).
If you remember “saliva” you know that liquid in your mouth that helps you keep everything wet in there and helps you swallow food better. Alright, a way to prevent certain diseases from transmitting or being passed on is to use some sort of protection, we know, which can be gloves, face masks or condoms([ˋkɑndəm]n.保險套).

2. trigger [ˋtrɪgɚ] v. 發射；觸發
To trigger something just basically means to cause something to start. So, this doesn’t always have to be intentional([ɪnˋtɛnʃən!]a.故意的), or on purpose([ˋpɝpəs]n.意圖).
Ex: Drinking red wine can trigger strong headaches for some people.
So, some people drink a glass of red wine and then the pain in the head begins. This can apply to many things that people, for example, can’t eat. Some people can absolutely not eat seafood. If they eat it, it will trigger, or cause, allergic reactions and maybe even death. Okay, two down, one more word to go.

3. severe [səˋvɪr] adj. 嚴重的；劇烈的
How about I start off with my example sentence first?
Ex: The aftermath(n.後果) of the earthquake was severe and the government needed to rely on help from overseas(adv.海外).
Give have an idea what other words we could use instead of severe? If you said, “serious”, then congratulations! These earthquakes caused severe damage, or very serious damage, and it will take a long time to recover from the disaster. Remember, this word is usually used with something negative. So I wouldn’t say “severe happiness.” Nonetheless(然而adv.), you get my point if I decided to say, I hope you’re showered with severe amounts of happiness this year.

+shower sb with sth (phr.)
大量給予（某人）（禮物或讚美）
She only sees her niece occasionally, so she showers her with presents when she does.
她只能偶爾見到自己的侄女，因此見面時，她都送給她很多禮物。

Okay, then let’s wrap it up here for now. Actually, Taiwan has tons of interesting insects, big and small, and to my knowledge some can be dangerous as well. Overall(adv.總的來說= in total) I find them fascinating to observe(v.觀察), just make sure you’re doing it from a safe distance. What bug life have you come across(碰到) during your lifetime? Have you ever been bitten or attacked? Make sure to leave a comment and share your story, and your recording, of course. Alright, stay safe, everyone! Cheers!
