【聽Podcast學英文】關於痘痘這件事 (Having acne ⏲️ 6 Minute English)
- I didn't have the luxury of being able to see a dermatologist when I was younger. My family simply couldn't afford it so I had to get through it as best I could and you just, you know, tried everything over the counter, etc. And I just felt if I could help people with something that has been such a bane of my life, and having that inside experience as well, so I would often tell my patients pretty much anything I recommend to them, I've tried it myself, I can tell them it works. Growing up, Dr Critchlow didn't have anyone to help her get through acne. If you get through something, you manage to survive a difficult experience or challenging period of life.
我年輕的時候沒有機會去看皮膚科醫生。我的家庭根本負擔不起，所以我只能盡力熬過去，你知道，我嘗試了所有的非處方藥，等等。我只是覺得，如果我能幫助人們解決困擾我一生的問題，而且我也有這方面的經驗，所以我經常告訴我的病人，我推薦給他們的任何東西，我自己都試過了，我可以告訴他們是有效的。在克里奇洛醫生的成長過程中，沒有人幫助她克服痤瘡。如果你熬過了一些事情，你就設法度過了一段艱難的經歷或充滿挑戰的生活時期。
- Instead, she got whatever medicine she could buy without a doctor's prescription, known as over-the-counter medicines, from her local pharmacy.
取而代之的是，她從當地藥店買到了任何不需要醫生處方就能買到的藥，也就是所謂的非處方藥。

股市玩家！ (Stock Market Player)
- Exchange, or NYSE, is probably the most famous. Picture a bustling trading floor with people shouting and making hand signals. It's high energy and exciting. Then there's the NASDAQ, another major stock exchange. This one is all electronic, with trades happening lightning fast over computer networks. And don't forget about over-the-counter, or OTC, markets. These are less formal markets where smaller, less regulated companies are traded. No matter the venue, the goal is the same, to connect buyers and sellers of stocks efficiently and transparently.
紐約證券交易所可能是最著名的交易所。想象一下，在熙熙攘攘的交易大廳裡，人們大聲叫喊著，打著手勢。這是高能量和令人興奮的。納斯達克是另一個主要的證券交易所。這個交易所是全電子化的，交易通過計算機網絡以閃電般的速度進行。別忘了還有場外交易市場。這些市場不太正規，交易的都是規模較小、監管較松的公司。無論在哪個場所，目標都是一樣的，即高效、透明地連接股票的買方和賣方。
- And don't forget about over-the-counter, or OTC, markets.
