呃，如果你想測試自己在這個節目中的詞彙，在我們的網站BBC learning english dot com上有一個小測驗。

But now let's find out some more about the story from this BBC news bulletin.

但現在讓我們從這份BBC新聞公告中瞭解更多關於這個故事的資訊。

A lockdown has come into force in Austria for anyone over the age of 12 who hasn't been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

在奧地利，對任何12歲以上尚未完全接種COVID-19疫苗的人都已開始實行禁閉。

Around two million people who haven't received their jabs are no longer allowed to leave home for non essential purposes, but they can still exercise by food and go to work.

大約200萬沒有接受過疫苗注射的人不再被允許為非必要的目的離開家，但他們仍然可以通過食物鍛鍊和去工作。

The country is facing a record surge in cases.

該國正面臨著創紀錄的案件激增。

Okay, as you have just heard, there has been a large increase in the number of people infected with COVID-19 in Austria and the government has responded by A lockdown, but only for people who haven't had a COVID-19 vaccination.

好的，正如你們剛才聽到的，在奧地利，感染COVID-19的人數大量增加，政府的反應是A封鎖，但只針對沒有接種過COVID-19疫苗的人。

This is the first government in the world to take such action.

這是世界上第一個採取這種行動的政府。

So if you haven't had a vaccination, you have to stay at home and you can't go out except for work or to buy food.

是以，如果你沒有接種過疫苗，你就必須呆在家裡，除了工作或購買食物，你不能出去。

Um The rate of vaccination in Austria is actually quite low compared to the rest of Western Europe at around 65%.

嗯 奧地利的疫苗接種率與西歐其他國家相比實際上相當低，約為65%。

And we've got three words and expressions we can use to talk about this story, What are they please Neil yes, we have surge plunges.

而我們有三個詞和表達方式可以用來談論這個故事，它們是什麼請尼爾是的，我們有激增的暴跌。

So that surge plunges and on the cards And these words come from news headlines.

是以，暴漲暴跌，在卡片上 而這些話來自於新聞頭條。

First headline comes from the Independent, which is a british newspaper and it reads Austria to impose lockdown on everyone who isn't fully vaccinated.

第一個標題來自《獨立報》，這是一份英國報紙，內容是：奧地利將對所有未完全接種疫苗的人實施封鎖。

The word in this headline is a verb and if something surges, it means there is a sudden dramatic increase of some kind.

這個標題中的詞是一個動詞，如果某物湧現，就意味著有某種突然的急劇增加。

So for example in this headline is increase in the number of people infected with an illness.

是以，例如在這個標題中，感染某種疾病的人數增加。

Are we just talking about covid and viruses?

我們只是在談論covid和病毒嗎？

When we talk about a search, know when something surges.

當我們談到搜索時，要知道什麼時候有東西涌現。

It's not just about illnesses, for example, groups of people or crowds can surge.

這不僅僅是疾病的問題，例如，一群人或人群會激增。

Most people have had that experience of being at a large sporting event or a concert when the doors open and people rush through, that is a crowd surging um often with dangerous and sometimes with dangerous consequences as we saw tragically in the United States recently.

大多數人都有過這樣的經歷：在大型體育賽事或音樂會上，當門打開，人們匆匆走過，那是人群湧動嗯，往往會有危險，有時會有危險的後果，正如我們最近在美國看到的悲劇。

But there's this sense of there being a lot of something going through suddenly through through it through an area or through a population in the case of the covid infection.

但是有這樣一種感覺，即有很多東西突然通過它通過一個地區或通過一個人口的情況下，ovid感染。

And we've got to be careful because we have a verb form and a noun form of this word.

我們必須小心，因為這個詞有一個動詞形式和一個名詞形式。

So in the headline it's a verb but we can also use the word surge as a noun.

是以，在標題中它是一個動詞，但我們也可以把激增這個詞作為一個名詞。

So there has been a surge in Covid cases in Austria.

是以，奧地利的Covid病例激增。

We can talk about a surge at a football match or at a concert when lots of people move in the same direction at the same time.

我們可以談一談在足球比賽或音樂會上，當很多人同時向同一方向移動時的湧動情況。

We can also talk about a power surge, can't we?

我們也可以談一談電湧，不是嗎？

Yeah, A power surges when too much electricity travels through the system.

是的，當太多的電力通過系統時，就會出現電湧。

The network often again just like the crowd search with potentially dangerous or negative consequences.

網絡往往又像人群搜索一樣，有潛在的危險或消極後果。

It could overpower a building for example.

例如，它可以壓倒一個建築物。

And you can end up with a power cut or damage to some of the, some of the gadgets and equipment.

而你最終可能會出現斷電或損壞一些，一些小工具和設備的情況。

And also, I've heard in economic terms uh surge in house prices when house prices increase quite quickly quite suddenly and again, that is to do with sudden dramatic increases.

還有，我聽說在經濟方面，呃，當房價增長相當快相當突然的時候，房價激增，同樣，這也是與突然的大幅增長有關。

And the word itself contains an element of drama.

而這個詞本身就包含了一個戲劇性的元素。

So of course headline writers like to use these types of words because you know, it's not possible to have an undramatic surge.

是以，標題作者當然喜歡使用這些類型的詞，因為你知道，不可能有不激動的激增。

There is drama inherent in the word surge.

We've talked quite a bit about Covid here on news review and in our other programs and last year we made a program, six minute english all about Will Covid change our cities.

我們在新聞評論和其他節目中已經談了很多關於Covid的內容，去年我們做了一個節目，六分鐘的英文，都是關於Covid能否改變我們的城市。

It's an interesting listen, where can people watch and listen to it Neil?

這是一個有趣的聽覺，人們在哪裡可以看到和聽到它尼爾？

Yeah, it's really fascinating this idea that a disease can change the way our cities look, All you have to do is click on the link below, down below.

是的，這種想法真的很吸引人，一種疾病可以改變我們城市的面貌，你所要做的就是點擊下面的鏈接，在下面。

Okay let's have a look at your next headline please.

好吧，讓我們看看你的下一個標題，請。

The next headline comes from the Evening Standard which is from the U.

下一個標題來自《標準晚報》，它來自美國。

And the headline is Austria plunges unvaccinated into lockdown.

而標題是奧地利讓未接種疫苗的人陷入禁閉。

That's plunges moves quickly into something.

這是將動作迅速地投入到一些東西中。

P L U N G E S verb again here, plunges and as you say rob it means something moving from one place to another.

P L U N G E S動詞在這裡再次出現，plunges，就像你說的搶，它意味著東西從一個地方移動到另一個地方。

Uh for example, do you like swimming rob?

呃，比如說，你喜歡游泳搶嗎？

Well I'm not a professional diver but I do like to plunge into the cool waters of the sea on a hot summer's day or plunge into a swimming pool.

我不是一個專業的潛水員，但我確實喜歡在炎熱的夏天跳進涼爽的海水裡，或者跳進游泳池。

So plunge has this sense of falling dramatically into something.

是以，"暴跌 "有這種戲劇性地落入某種事物的感覺。

Is it always downwards when you're plunging like a like water over a waterfall?

當你像瀑布上的水一樣急劇下降時，它總是向下的嗎？

It's going down a person who plunges into water goes from one position up higher down into a lower position but in this headline we're not exactly going from a high position to a low position, are we?

一個人跳進水裡，就會從一個較高的位置下降到一個較低的位置，但在這個標題中，我們並不完全是從一個高的位置到一個低的位置，是嗎？

Going from um having freedom into into a lockdown there's no physical direction in that but we're thinking figuratively here.

從擁有自由到被封鎖，這裡面沒有物理方向，但我們在這裡想的是比喻。

So we use the word plunge because probably emotionally it's a downward thing to do, to go from freedom to lock down.

是以，我們使用 "暴跌 "這個詞，因為從情感上來說，從自由到鎖定是一件向下的事情。

So that's why the word plunge is appropriate here.

是以，這就是為什麼在這裡使用 "暴跌 "一詞是合適的。

And like our previous word, there's a verb form and a noun form.

和我們前面的詞一樣，有一個動詞形式和一個名詞形式。

Yes, we plunge into something or we can, here's a set expression.

是的，我們投身於一些事情，或者我們可以，這裡有一個固定的表達。

Take a plunge, which is when you, you end up after thinking about something for a long time, you make a decision to do something, maybe a career change.

冒險，就是當你，你在考慮了很久之後，最終決定做一件事，也許是改變職業。

Um if you are not sure about something, there might be uncertain consequences just like diving into deep water that you're not sure of.

嗯，如果你對某件事情不確定，可能會有不確定的後果，就像潛入你不確定的深水中一樣。

We can say that you take the plunge, you decide to take that difficult decision into an unknown future.

我們可以說，你採取了大膽的行動，你決定採取這一困難的決定，進入一個未知的未來。

I know you've always wanted to join the circus, haven't you?

我知道你一直想加入馬戲團，不是嗎？
