Now, the word

we're looking at from the headline is 'unleashed' and bit of a strange question

perhaps, Sian. But do you like dogs?

也許吧，西恩。但你喜歡狗嗎？

Yes, I do like dogs, but sometimes when you have

that you use to attach to the dog to make sure that it is under control.

And if you unleash a dangerous dog,

So, something bad or violent might happen.

是以，可能會發生一些壞事或暴力事件。

And that's the sense here.

這就是這裡的意義。

So, when the headline says a political storm has been unleashed it means

是以，當標題說一場政治風暴已經被釋放出來時，它意味著

there's been a release of a powerful, maybe violent force and one

有一個強大的，也許是暴力的力量被釋放出來，一個

that is difficult to control. Yeah.

singing won't be that positive, but we'll see.

唱歌不會那麼積極，但我們會看到。

Yeah, OK, let's get a summary of that.

是的，好的，讓我們來了解一下這個總結。

Now, we've got a word about the pronunciation of this word.

OK, Sian. Next headline please.

好的，西恩。下一個頭條，請。

This one is from Fox News.

這個是來自福克斯新聞。

Let's break this headline down.

讓我們把這個標題分解一下。

The Attorney General in Florida

佛羅里達州的總檢察長

is the person whose job is the head of the state

是指以國家元首為工作對象的人

justice department.

司法部。

We're talking about legal things here - the law - and according to the headline

我們在這裡談論的是法律上的事情--法律--而根據標題

this person thinks the respect of the FBI - that its reputation - depends

這個人認為聯邦調查局的尊重--其聲譽--取決於

on this case.

在這個案子上。

It 'hinges on' it,

它'取決於'它。

and that's the word we're looking at.

而這就是我們要看的詞。

So, let's focus on that word 'hinge'.

是以，讓我們把重點放在 "鉸鏈 "這個詞上。

So a hinge is the physical object that attaches the door to its frame

是以，合頁是將門連接到其框架上的物理物體。

and it allows the door to open and close.

而且它允許門打開和關閉。

Yes, and that's the important sense here,

是的，這就是這裡的重要意義。

the door won't work properly

門不能正常工作

if there's no hinge.

如果沒有鉸鏈。

The hinge allows the door to function - to open and close. And if the door

鉸鏈使門能夠發揮作用--打開和關閉。而如果門

doesn't open and close

不開不關

it's pretty pointless.

這是很無意義的。

It's pointless and so the verb 'hinges on'

這是毫無意義的，所以動詞'鉸鏈'。

means something

意味著什麼

depends on something, so it won't work without it.

依賴於某些東西，所以沒有它就不能工作。

Let's look at this in another context.

讓我們從另一個角度來看看這個問題。

and they are waiting for the results in the autumn.

並且他們正在等待秋季的結果。

Yes, and getting a job or a place

then they might not get the job or the place at university.

那麼他們可能得不到工作或大學裡的位置。

Yes, and you understanding us hinges

是的，你理解我們的鉸鏈

on our explanation being clear and because of that

我們的解釋是明確的，正因為如此

we'll have a look at it one more time.

我們會再看一次。

We've had 'unleashed' - released

我們已經有了 "釋放"--釋放

a powerful or violent force.

一個強大的或暴力的力量。
