So, our first headline comes from the UK,

是以，我們的第一個頭條新聞來自英國。

來自《衛報》的報道，內容如下。

'Leak' – release of secret or private information.

好的。所以，"洩漏 "的拼法是L-E-A-K

而且它既可以作為動詞也可以作為名詞使用。

Yeah. Now, it might be useful to think of this word

是的。現在，想想這個詞可能是有用的

在其更多的，有點，字面意義上。

So, for example, the other day I noticed there was a big damp patch

What could that be? I called the plumber.

那會是什麼呢？我打電話給水管工。

The plumber came along and said that my pipe had a 'leak'.

水管工走過來，說我的管道有一個 "漏點"。

It had a 'leak': it meant that liquid was escaping from this pipe.

它有一個 "洩漏"：這意味著液體正從這個管道中漏出。

And it's useful to think about this in the same way, isn't it?

而且以同樣的方式思考這個問題是很有用的，不是嗎？

Absolutely. So, when water travels through a pipe,

絕對是這樣。是以，當水通過管道時，。

Now, when the pipe is compromised – maybe there's a crack in the pipe –

現在，當管道受到損害時--也許管道上有一個裂縫------。

It's no longer contained and this word we use – we say 'leak'.

它不再被控制，我們使用的這個詞--我們說'洩漏'。

Now, this information that we're talking about should be private or secret,

現在，我們談論的這些資訊應該是私人或祕密的。

Somebody has decided to reveal this information,

but we don't often know who the person is

It's often... often done by politicians who want –

這往往......往往是由那些想要--的政治家所為。

maybe they want to get some criticism aimed at a colleague

and they get this information released somehow

Absolutely, yeah. More... more often than not, it's intentional.

絕對的，是的。更多的......更多的時候，它是故意的。

Now, obviously it can be an accidental 'leak',

現在，顯然這可能是一個意外的 "洩漏"。

but as you say it's more often something intentional.

但正如你所說，它更多地是有意為之的。

Somebody wants to expose somebody or some information.

There is another thing we need to talk about as well.

還有一件事我們也需要談一談。

Now, you may be aware there is a vegetable,

also called a 'leek'. It's the same pronunciation,

也叫 "韭菜"。它的發音是一樣的。

and I believe it comes from the onion family.

Yeah. Tastes a bit like an onion, doesn't it?

是的。味道有點像洋蔥，不是嗎？

And it's commonly used in soup: leek and potato soup.

而且它通常被用於做湯：韭菜和洋芋湯。

But it has no... no kind of link to the word 'leak'

但它沒有......與 "洩漏 "一詞沒有任何聯繫

that we're talking about – the L-E-A-K –

我們正在談論的--L-E-A-K--的問題。

unless there's a crack in the bowl of soup

and then your 'leek soup' is 'leaking'...!

然後你的 "韭菜湯 "就 "漏 "了......!
