美國總統唐納·川普表示，自閉症與止痛藥 Tylenol 之間有關聯，Tylenol 在其他地方也稱為撲熱息痛。

Trump said that doctors in the US Will soon be advised not to prescribe the pain reliever to pregnant women.

川普說，美國的醫生將很快被建議不要對孕婦開立這種止痛藥。

Medical experts disagree with these claims, with some calling the President's comments dangerous.

醫學專家們不同意這些主張，有些人稱總統的言論是危險的。

The Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Said the U.S.

衛生部長 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 表示，美國

food and Drug Administration, or FDA, would begin the process of changing how the medication is labeled and launch a public health campaign.

食品藥物管理局，也就是 FDA，將開始改變藥物標籤的流程，並展開一項公共衛生宣傳活動。

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, who are experts in women's health, said the announcement was unsettling and not based on reliable data.

美國婦產科學院，他們是女性健康方面的專家，表示這項宣佈令人不安，且不基於可靠的數據。

這則新聞來自美國的 CBS 新聞。

Trump and RFK Jr make autism announcement as Tylenol maker and Medical Experts push Back that headline again from CBS News in the United states.

川普和 RFK Jr. 宣佈自閉症相關消息，止痛藥製造商和醫學專家反駁，這則頭條新聞來自美國 CBS 新聞。

Trump and RFK Jr make autism announcement as Tylenol maker and Medical Experts push back so this headline is about the announcement by Donald Trump and the US Health secretary linking autism and Tylenol.

川普和 RFK Jr. 宣佈自閉症相關消息，止痛藥製造商和醫學專家反駁，這則頭條新聞是關於唐納·川普和美國衛生部長將自閉症與 Tylenol 連結的宣佈。

Neil, what does this phrasal verb push back mean?

Neil，這個動詞片語 "push back" 是什麼意思？

Well, here in this headline, pushback means to disagree with or resist something that's been proposed.

嗯，在這則頭條新聞裡，"pushback" 的意思是不同意或抵抗某項被提出的建議。

The medical experts push back against Trump's claims about autism.

醫學專家反駁川普關於自閉症的主張。

Yes, you can push back against ideas or even proposals for something.

對，你可以對某個想法或甚至某項提議提出反駁。

Another example, residents in a village pushed back on plans to build a new motorway through the middle.

另一個例子是，村莊裡的居民反對在中間建造一條新高速公路的計畫。

Pushback can be used on its own, like in the headline Medical experts push back.

Pushback 也可以單獨使用，就像標題「醫學專家反駁」一樣。

Or it can be followed by the prepositions on or against to push back against something.

或者它後面可以加上介系詞 on 或 against，用來反對某件事。

For example, despite pushback from the residents, the plans to build the new motorway will go ahead.

例如，儘管居民強烈反對，建造新高速公路的計畫仍將繼續進行。

We've had push back, disagree with or resist something.

我們有 push back，就是不同意或抵抗某件事。

For example, scientists are pushing back on claims that climate change isn't real.

例如，科學家們正在反駁關於氣候變遷不存在的主張。

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

這裡是 Learning English from the News，我們關於新聞頭條的播客。

We're talking about Trump's claims that the pain relief drug Tylenol or paracetamol can cause autism.

我們正在討論川普關於止痛藥 Tylenol 或撲熱息痛會導致自閉症的主張。

There is recent research which suggests an association between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism in children.

近期有研究顯示，孕婦使用撲熱息痛與兒童自閉症之間存在關聯。

But there is no causal link, meaning there's no proof that one causes the other.

但是，這之間並沒有因果關係，也就是說，沒有證據證明其中一個會導致另一個。

Other researchers found no connection at all.

其他研究人員則完全沒發現任何關聯。

Health officials in the UK have made clear that paracetamol remains the safest painkiller available to pregnant women.

英國的衛生官員已明確表示，撲熱息痛仍然是孕婦最安全的止痛藥。

The UK's health secretary, Wes Streeting, says expectant mothers should not pay any attention to the US president's claims.

英國衛生部長 Wes Streeting 表示，準媽媽們不應該理會美國總統的說法。

Here's our next headline, and this one is from ITV News.

這是我們的下一則頭條新聞，這則來自 ITV News。

In the uk, British scientists inject large dose of skepticism into Trump's paracetamol and autism claims.

在英國，英國科學家對川普關於撲熱息痛與自閉症的說法注入了大量的懷疑。

這則頭條新聞再次來自 ITV News。

So this is another headline about the scientific community pushing back against Trump's claims.

所以這是另一則關於科學界反駁川普說法的頭條新聞。

Now, British scientists inject large dose of skepticism into Trump's claims.

現在，英國科學家對川普的說法注入了大量的懷疑。

Dose usually means the amount of medicine you take at one time.

Dose 通常是指你一次服用的藥量。

So a doctor might prescribe you a dose of antibiotics to get rid of an infection.

所以醫生可能會給你開抗生素的劑量來清除感染。

But here in the headline, a dose of skepticism dose is used metaphorically, meaning an amount of something.

但在這裡的標題裡，dose of skepticism 是個比喻用法，意思是「一份」或「一些」。

Skepticism means doubting something unless there is good evidence.

Skepticism 意思是懷疑某事，除非有好的證據。

And inject is a verb you use to describe putting a needle into the skin to insert liquid into the body.

而 inject 是一個動詞，用來描述將針頭插入皮膚以將液體注入體內。

But again, this phrase is metaphorical, isn't it, Georgie?

不過，這句話是個比喻，對吧，Georgie？

So the British scientists inject a large dose of skepticism.

所以英國科學家注入了大量的懷疑。

That means the scientists are using evidence to add doubt to Trump's claims.

這表示科學家們正利用證據來質疑川普的主張。

So even though paracetamol isn't injected, the headline writers are playing with words to make it a clever headline.

所以即使撲熱息痛沒有被注射，標題作者們也在玩文字遊戲，讓它成為一個巧妙的標題。

It's a medical story, so they've used the words inject and dose.

這是一個醫學故事，所以他們用了 inject 和 dose 這兩個詞。

Now, where else can we use a dose metaphorically?

那麼，我們還能在哪裡比喻性地使用 dose 呢？

Well, Neil, if you've been inside all day, I might tell you to go for a walk to get a dose of fresh air.

嗯，Neil，如果你一整天都待在室內，我可能會叫你去散散步，來點新鮮空氣。

dose 意思是「一份」或「一些」東西。

For example, my friend keeps making bad relationship decisions, so I talked to them and gave them a dose of reality.

舉個例子，我朋友一直做錯誤的感情決定，所以我跟她聊了，給了她一份現實的「劑量」。

這是「從新聞學英文」，一個關於新聞頭條的 Podcast。

Today, we've been talking about President Trump's unproven claims that autism is linked to the pain relief drug paracetamol, known as Tylenol.

今天，我們一直在討論川普總統未經證實的說法，認為自閉症與止痛藥撲熱息痛（也就是 Tylenol）有關。

In the us, the National Autistic Society, a British group representing autistic people and their families, called Trump's claims about Tylenol and autism irresponsible and said he had devalued autistic people.

在美國，英國的「國家自閉症協會」，一個代表自閉症患者及其家屬的團體，稱川普關於 Tylenol 和自閉症的說法是不負責任的，並表示他貶低了自閉症患者。

Autism diagnoses have increased since the year 2000, but

自閉症的診斷自 2000 年以來有所增加，但是

most experts say this is because of changes in how the condition is diagnosed, increased awareness of autism and more people being tested.

大多數專家表示，這是因為診斷方式的改變、對自閉症的認識提高以及更多人接受檢測。

好的，Neil，我們來看看下一個頭條。

Donald Trump's Autism claim debunked after Paracetamol warning to Pregnant women.

在對孕婦發出撲熱息痛警告後，川普的自閉症說法被駁斥。

That headline again from the Mirror in the uk.

再次強調，這是來自英國鏡報的頭條。

Donald Trump's Autism claim debunked after Paracetamol Warning to Pregnant women.

在對孕婦發出撲熱息痛警告後，川普的自閉症主張被駁斥。

This time we're looking at the word debunk.

這次我們要看「debunk」這個詞。

Georgie，你能跟我們說說這個詞嗎？

Well, debunk means to show that something isn't true, usually with evidence.

嗯，debunk 的意思就是用證據來證明某件事不是真的。

So you can debunk things like myths, theories and rumours.

所以你可以 debunk 像是迷思、理論和謠言。

Or claims, like in this headline, Trump's Autism Claim Debunked.

或是主張，就像這則頭條，川普的自閉症主張被駁斥。

So this means that Trump's claim about autism has been shown not to be true by medical experts, according to the headline.

所以這表示，根據這則頭條，川普關於自閉症的主張已經被醫學專家證明不是真的了。

Another example, I watched a documentary recently which debunked some false ideas about vaccines.

另一個例子，我最近看了一部紀錄片，它駁斥了一些關於疫苗的錯誤觀念。

Debunk is a really useful word to talk about theories or rumours that circulate in the media.

Debunk 這個詞真的很有用，可以用來談論在媒體上流傳的理論或謠言。

We've heard debunk show that something isn't true.

我們聽過 debunk 表示某件事不是真的。

For example, scientists have used maths to debunk recent UFO videos.

例如，科學家們利用數學來駁斥最近的 UFO 影片。
