You've been looking at the headlines, Beth, what's the vocabulary that people need to understand this story in English?

We have run rampant paralyze and tight and grip.

This is news review from BBC Learning English.

在許多海地人提出質疑後，阿里爾-亨利將下臺

This is from CNN Haiti's leader to resign as gangs run rampant through country engulfed in crisis.

So the headline says that gangs run rampant in Haiti that's the expression we're looking at and it contains run, which we all know.

儘管沒有當選。這個加勒比國家正處於長達一個月的狀態中。

我們有 "橫行"、"癱瘓 "和 "緊握"。

And to make this a verb, we say, run rampant.

So I could say in my garden weeds, run rampant.

這是美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）的報道。

海地幫派橫行，海地領導人將辭職

That means they can't be controlled and they're spreading across Haiti.

The authorities are trying to contain them but they can't.

我們現在看到的是 "run"，我們都知道，但 "ramant

Well, it's not only used for big serious things.

Maybe Children at a birthday party might run rampant.

They're out of control after all that sugar.

它們無處不在！現在，"猖獗 "意味著蔓延失控

為了使之成為動詞，我們稱之為 "猖獗"、

所以我可以說，我的花園裡雜草叢生。

This is from the Herald Scotland state of emergency extended in Haiti as gang attacks paralyze capital.

好吧，"肆虐 "一詞的意思是失去控制的蔓延。

So gang attacks paralyze the capital of Haiti.

Now this word paralyze is the one we're looking at and I recognize it, Beth because it means that someone can't move part of their body.

這意味著它們無法控制，並在海地各地蔓延。

Usually after an accident, is there a connection between that?

當局正試圖控制他們，但他們做不到。

Paralyze and the one in the headline there is now paralyze in the headline is a verb that means to cause something to stop moving or operating.

沒有用。還有什麼能橫行霸道？

Now in Haiti, gangs have disrupted the capital.

它不僅用於重大、嚴肅的事情。

So things aren't working or moving as they normally would.

也許生日聚會上的孩子們會橫衝直撞。

吃了那麼多糖，它們已經失控了。

So for example, flights have stopped, medical care isn't coming in or going out.

So paralyze can also mean that you're unable to think or act in a normal way.

黑幫襲擊使海地首都陷入癱瘓。

So maybe if you're really scared, you might be paralyzed with fear, you can't move.

貝絲，因為這意味著某人無法移動身體的一部分、

This is from BBC news, Haiti spirals to collapse as gangs tighten grip.

So let's break this headline down, Haiti spirals to collapse.

癱瘓 "和 "癱瘓 "之間是否有聯繫？

Now, spirals means moves very quickly out of control.

It means the country's collapsing, it's falling apart.

有的。現在，標題中的 "癱瘓 "是一個動詞，意思是導致

We're looking at the expression Titan grip.

停止移動或行動的東西。現在，在海地幫派

Now, Beth this mug here, I've got in my grip and I'm holding it very tight.

You can see maybe my knuckles turning white as I hold it really hard.

是以，一切都無法正常運行或移動。

No, because you are literally tightening your grip.

例如，班機停飛，醫療服務不到位

Now, here in this headline, Titan grip is metaphorical.

These gangs are taking more control every day and in a violent way, it's like they have the country in their grip and they are tightening it.

我們還能以其他方式使用 "癱瘓 "嗎？

你無法以正常的方式思考或行動。

And that's damaging the country and its people.

所以，如果你真的很害怕，也許會這樣、

Now it's common with this expression, tighten grip to add the preposition on.

你可能會因恐懼而癱瘓 - 你可能會因恐懼而癱瘓 - 你可能會因恐懼而癱瘓 - 你可能會因恐懼而癱瘓

Well, a football team at the top of the league might tighten their grip on the title if they win three games in a row, for example, yes or a dictator could tighten their grip on power by for example, banning elections or making other parties illegal.

We've had run rampant spread out of control, paralyze cause something to stop operating and tighten grip, take more control.

海地因幫派加緊控制而陷入崩潰。

海地螺旋式崩潰。現在，"螺旋 "的意思是移動得非常快。
