[Introduction] 0:28 - 1:14
(Benson) What’s up, Voicetubers? It’s your boy, Benson, back again. Hope everyone’s having a fantastic week and staying healthy, as usual. I’m actually a little sick, probably due to this crazy weather and low temperatures, and let me tell you this is the worst time to get sick since we have this COVID thing going on around the world. Whenever I start coughing in the streets of Taipei, people start turning their heads and I get worried I might get taken away for quarantine! Haha! But on a more serious note, there have been a vast amount of brave doctors and nurses battling this virus every day since 2020, and today we’re gonna find out more about one of the bravest nurses who has been battling COVID for eight months in the hospital.

That’s it for today, hope this story inspires some of you as it has inspired me. I honestly think it takes huge courage and has a high endurance to stay in the hospital for eight months helping these patients - I guess angels do exist in real life. Have you ever met any doctor, nurse or anyone that has inspired you because of their services? Hope you enjoyed today’s episode, don’t be shy to comment or ask any questions! I’ll see you next time! Peace!

#0:54 這句”I might get taken away for quarantine!”意思是 被抓去隔離？
#4:12 ”it takes huge courage and has a high endurance to stay in the hospital for eight months helping these patients”(花8個月的時間待在醫院照顧病人) 的描述好像不符合影片主角實際情況(如果我沒有翻譯錯誤的話:P
在這樣的疫情之下，聽到旁人咳嗽的聲音確實會有點令人擔憂> <“ 祈禱疫情快快退散！

0:32 Hope everyone’s having a fantastic week and staying healthy, as usual. I’m actually a little sick, probably due to this crazy weather and low temperatures, and let me tell you this, it is the worst time to get sick since we have this COVID thing going on around the world. Whenever I start coughing(cough咳嗽v.) in the streets of Taipei, people start turning their heads and I get worried I might get taken away for quarantine([ˋkwɔrən͵tin]n.隔離,檢疫)! Yeah... but on a more serious note, there have been a vast([væst]a.大量的) amount of brave doctors and nurses battling this virus every day since 2020, and today we’re gonna find out more about one of the bravest nurses who has been battling COVID for eight months in the hospital. Let’s get to it! So the sentence for today is:
Her situation was often dire([daɪr]危急的a.), said attending physician([fɪˋzɪʃən]n.內科醫生) Dr. Maged Tanios. At multiple times she was very near death. I would say this happened at least half([hæf]限定詞:一半) a dozen([ˋdʌzn]12個) times that she was very near death.
(以下翻譯取自unickname)主治醫生麥克格迪·塔諾斯博士表示，她之前的狀況常常變得很危急。「很多次她都非常接近死亡。依我估算，她極度瀕臨死亡的情況至少發生了六七次。」

+ half [hæf] 一半，半個
詞性：adjective, adverb, noun, pronoun(代名詞), predeterminer(前限定詞/ˌpriː.dɪˈtɝː.mə.nɚ/), determiner(限定詞/dɪˈtɝː.mə.nɚ/)
Ex: I would like half a cake.

dozen [ˋdʌzn] (n.) 12個, 一打

1. dire [daɪə] (adj.)嚴重的；危急的 = very serious or extreme

2. physician [fɪˋzɪʃən] (n.) 醫生；（尤指）內科醫生 = a medical doctor, especially one who has general skills and is not a surgeon([ˋsɝdʒən]n.外科醫生)

3. multiple [ˋmʌltəp!] adj. 由許多部分組成的，複合的；多樣的
time (n.) 時間；次、回

So here we know that “multiple times” means again and again, another and another.

That’s it for today, hope this story inspires(inspire[ɪnˋspaɪr]v.激勵) some of you as it has inspired me. I honestly think it takes huge courage(勇氣n.) and has a high endurance([ɪnˋdjʊrəns]n.忍耐) to stay in the hospital for eight months helping these patients - I guess angels(angels[ˋendʒ!]n.天使) really do exist([ɪgˋzɪst]v.存在). Have you ever met any doctor, nurse or anyone that has inspired you because of their services(n.服務)? Hope you enjoyed today’s episode, don’t be shy(a.害羞的) to comment or ask any questions!
