So Neil, let's hear more about the story.

尼爾，讓我們來聽聽你的故事。

OK, so the US Supreme Court has said that Donald Trump cannot be punished for official actions he committed as President.

好吧，美國最高法院已經表示，唐納德-特朗普不能因其在擔任總統期間的官方行為而受到懲罰。

Official actions mean work he did as part of his job when he was President.

官方行動是指他在擔任總統期間作為工作的一部分所做的工作。

And Trump has been charged in four criminal cases, including attempting to change the results of the 2020

特朗普已在四起刑事案件中受到指控，其中包括試圖改變 2020 年美國總統選舉的結果。

US presidential election.

美國總統大選。

But this new ruling means that some of the things he was charged with are now likely to be seen as official action, so he may not be prosecuted for them.

但這項新裁決意味著，他被指控的一些行為現在可能被視為官方行為，是以他可能不會是以被起訴。

That means he may not face the legal consequences, for example, jail.

這意味著他可能不會面臨法律後果，例如牢獄之災。

Now we have a headline here that describes what has happened.

現在我們有一個標題來描述所發生的事情。

It's from BBC News.

來自 BBC 新聞。

Trump asks for conviction to be overturned after immunity ruling.

特朗普在豁免權裁決後要求推翻定罪。

So that headline again from BBC News.

這又是 BBC 新聞的標題。

So Trump wants his conviction to be overturned.

是以，特朗普希望推翻對他的定罪。

That means he wants the crime he's been found guilty of to be dismissed and any others that he may be found guilty of in future.

這意味著他希望撤銷他被認定的罪行以及今後可能被認定的其他罪行。

And this headline tells us that there's been a new immunity ruling for US presidents.

這個標題告訴我們，美國總統的豁免權有了新的規定。

And we're interested in immunity.

我們對豁免權很感興趣。

Yes, Beth.

是的，貝絲。

This word immunity is one that we've heard a lot in recent years with the Covid pandemic and it's used related to health.

免疫這個詞是我們近年來在科威德大流行病中經常聽到的一個詞，它與健康有關。

So, for example, if you have immunity from a disease, it means that you can't get it.

是以，舉例來說，如果你對某種疾病有免疫力，就意味著你不會得這種病。

You are protected from it.

你會受到保護。

And immunity is also used in a legal sense.

豁免權也用於法律意義上。

So Trump has been given presidential immunity and that means that he is protected for any official acts that were related to his main constitutional duties when he was the president.

是以，特朗普獲得了總統豁免權，這意味著他在擔任總統期間與憲法規定的主要職責相關的任何官方行為都會受到保護。

Yeah, so after this ruling, even if he did something that's illegal for other Americans, it can't be considered illegal if he did it in part of his role or his job as president.

是的，所以在這項裁決之後，即使他做了一些對其他美國人來說是違法的事情，但如果他是在履行總統職責或工作時做的，就不能被視為違法。

And we should add that all US presidents have been given immunity, so any ex-presidents, the current US presidents and any future US presidents will be protected by this law.

此外，所有美國總統都享有豁免權，是以任何前任總統、現任總統和未來的美國總統都將受到這項法律的保護。

So let's look at this word immunity and how we use it.

讓我們來看看 "免疫力 "這個詞以及我們如何使用它。

There is some interesting preposition use.

有些介詞的用法很有意思。

So we say that you can have immunity against or from a disease, but a person is given immunity from prosecution.

是以，我們說，你可以獲得疾病豁免權，但一個人可以獲得起訴豁免權。

That's in the legal sense.

這是法律意義上的。

So we've looked at immunity, which is protection from legal action.

是以，我們研究了豁免權，即免受法律訴訟的保護。

For example, she was given immunity from prosecution after confessing the names of other gang members.

例如，在供出其他幫派成員的姓名後，她被免於起訴。

This is Learning English from the News, our podcast about the news headlines.

這裡是 "從新聞中學習英語"，我們的播客介紹新聞標題。

Today we're talking about the Supreme Court's ruling about US presidents and the law.

今天我們要討論的是最高法院關於美國總統和法律的裁決。

Now the story is ongoing.

現在，故事還在繼續。

Trump, who is a Republican, is running for president at the moment against the current US president,

特朗普是共和黨人，目前正在競選總統，對手是現任美國總統、

Democrat Joe Biden.

民主黨人喬-拜登

And this legal ruling means that if Trump returns to the White House as president, there are unlikely to be any legal checks on his official actions.

這項法律裁決意味著，如果特朗普重返白宮擔任總統，他的官方行為不太可能受到任何法律制約。

This is something that some people are very worried about.

這是一些人非常擔心的問題。

And we have a headline about this from Vox.

我們從 Vox 上看到了相關的頭條新聞。

The headline is

標題是

The Supreme Court's

最高法院

Trump immunity decision is a blueprint for dictatorship.

特朗普的豁免決定是獨裁統治的藍圖。

And that again from Vox.

這還是來自 Vox。

The Supreme Court's

最高法院

Trump immunity decision is a blueprint for dictatorship.

特朗普的豁免決定是獨裁統治的藍圖。

Right, so this headline says the decision is a blueprint for dictatorship.

沒錯，所以這個標題說這個決定是獨裁的藍圖。

Now, dictatorship is a government run by a leader who has complete power and hasn't been democratically elected.

現在，獨裁統治是由一個擁有完全權力的領導人管理的政府，而這個領導人並不是通過民主選舉產生的。

We're looking at this word blueprint though, Beth.

我們正在看這個詞的藍圖，貝絲。

Now, literally a blueprint is a type of blue paper that has technical designs on it.

從字面上看，藍圖是一種藍色紙張，上面有技術設計。

So it's a plan that shows how something could be achieved, like a building.

是以，這是一個展示如何實現某項目標的計劃，比如一座建築。

Yes, so a blueprint is a plan.

是的，藍圖就是計劃。

And that is the sense that we have in this metaphorical use in this headline.

這就是我們在標題中使用隱喻的意義。

So the headline is saying that this ruling is creating a way for there to be problems in the future in the US.

是以，標題的意思是，這項裁決為美國今後出現問題創造了條件。

Now, blueprint here is used in the context of a negative plan, but it can be used in a neutral or a positive way as well.

現在，這裡的 "藍圖 "是指消極的計劃，但也可以中性或積極的方式使用。

So you could say that a company have made an agreement with staff and that agreement provides a blueprint to increase wages.

是以可以說，公司與員工達成了協議，該協議提供了增加工資的藍圖。

So we looked at blueprint, a plan to achieve something.

所以，我們看的是藍圖，是實現目標的計劃。

For example, this scientific study provides the blueprint for a new cancer treatment.

例如，這項科學研究為一種新的癌症治療方法提供了藍圖。

We're talking about the Supreme Court ruling, which might help Donald Trump avoid prosecution.

我們正在討論最高法院的裁決，它可能會幫助唐納德-特朗普避免被起訴。

So we know from our last headline that some people think this decision is a very negative thing that will lead to problems, but others have said they think the decision is right.

是以，我們從上次的頭條新聞中瞭解到，有些人認為這個決定是非常負面的，會帶來問題，但也有人說他們認為這個決定是正確的。

Now, the US Chief Justice, that is the most powerful judge of the Supreme Court, said that presidents need immunity for official actions because the threat of criminal prosecution might influence their decision-making as president.

現在，美國首席大法官，也就是最高法院最有權力的法官說，總統的官方行為需要豁免權，因為刑事起訴的威脅可能會影響他們作為總統的決策。

So we have a headline about this and this is from The Independent.

是以，我們有一個關於此事的頭條新聞，它來自《獨立報》。

Biden warns Trump can do whatever he pleases if elected, as Republicans relish

拜登警告特朗普當選後可以為所欲為，共和黨人對此津津樂道

Supreme Court immunity ruling.

最高法院的豁免裁決。

So that headline again from The Independent.

所以，標題還是來自《獨立報》。

Biden warns Trump can do whatever he pleases if elected, as Republicans relish

拜登警告特朗普當選後可以為所欲為，共和黨人對此津津樂道

Supreme Court immunity ruling.

最高法院的豁免裁決。

And the word we're looking at is relish, Beth.

我們要看的詞是 "津津有味"，貝絲。

I know a word, relish.

我知道一個詞，津津樂道。

It's a kind of sauce that you put on your burger, for example, tomato and onion relish.

這是一種放在漢堡上的調味汁，例如番茄洋蔥調味汁。

Makes it taste really delicious.

使其味道非常可口。

It does.

確實如此。

Now that is the noun and it might help you to understand this meaning because if you add relish to your burger, then it makes you enjoy your burger more.

這就是名詞，它可能會幫助你理解這個意思，因為如果在漢堡中加入調味品，就會讓你更喜歡吃漢堡。

Now, relish here is a verb and it means to really like or enjoy something.

現在，"津津有味 "在這裡是一個動詞，意思是非常喜歡或享受某種事物。

OK, so the headline means that Republicans are enjoying the fact that Trump has been given immunity.

好吧，標題的意思是共和黨人很高興特朗普獲得了豁免權。

They relish it.

他們樂此不疲。

Exactly.

沒錯。

Now we use this verb relish in a lot of different ways, usually about actions or abstract nouns.

現在，我們以多種不同的方式使用這個動詞 "津津有味"，通常是指動作或抽象名詞。

So you might relish a challenge or relish an idea or the thought of something.

是以，你可能會樂於接受挑戰，或樂於接受某個想法或念頭。

Talking of challenges,

說到挑戰、

I'm going mountain climbing this weekend, Beth.

我這週末要去爬山 貝絲

I think it might be quite difficult, but I relish a challenge like this, particularly an outdoor challenge.

我認為這可能相當困難，但我樂於接受這樣的挑戰，尤其是戶外挑戰。

Good luck.

祝你好運

Well, it's a lovely sunny day, so I am relishing the thought of going out to enjoy the sunshine at lunch.

今天天氣很好，所以我很高興能在午餐時出去享受陽光。

I might come with you.

我可能會和你一起去。

So we've looked at relish, which means to like or enjoy something.

是以，我們看了津津有味，意思是喜歡或享受某種事物。

So, for example, my university has courses in Peru.

例如，我所在的大學在祕魯開設了課程。

I relish the thought of studying Spanish for a year.

一想到要學一年西班牙語，我就樂不可支。
