| A nurse from a hospital in Sanchong recently posted a video online. The video shows the nurse and her coworker tormenting an elderly patient. After the video came to light, she was laid off immediately. The video showed the two nurses standing around the elderly patient. As they were giving the patient his medication, they made fun of him. The patient tried to push the camera away, but he failed. The nurse and her coworker pretended they were afraid of touching the patient because he had scabies. Many people tried to find out who the nurse was. The nurse apologized to the patient's family. She said she didn't do it on purpose. She was close to the patient, so she just wanted to cheer him up. She said that she would leave the hospital, and so she shot the video. Later, the hospital said it is possible that a lawsuit will be filed against the nurse for her poor behavior. 一位在三重某醫院任職的護士，在網路上傳一則短片。影片顯示護士和她的同事戲弄一位年老的患者。影片經過曝光後，她隨即被解僱。 影片中顯示，兩名護士站在年紀八十二歲的患者兩旁。當她們替病人上藥時，她們取笑他。病人試圖推開鏡頭，但他無力完成。護士和她的同事假裝他們害怕接觸病人，因為他有疥瘡。 許多人試圖(人肉搜索) 找出護士本尊。護士對病患家屬致上深深歉意。她表示她並非有意如此。她和病人關係很親近，所以她這麼做只是想讓他開心。她表示她將離開這間醫院，所以她拍攝影片作為紀念。 之後，醫院發表聲明，對護士之不當行為，將可能提出法律訴訟。 torment v 戲弄，折磨 lay off 解聘 medication n 藥物 scabies n 疥瘡 apologize v 道歉 on purpose 蓄意地，故意地 file a lawsuit 提出訴訟 |

| According to a report, the death rate from car accidents in Nantou County had declined last year to 16.85%. The greatest number of car accidents was caused by the drivers themselves. Drunk driving, speeding, running through traffic lights, and the slow reaction time of elderly drivers were all major causes. In fact, car accidents can be avoided and prevented. Here are some suggestions published in magazines and newspapers. First of all, don't drive after drinking alcohol - it is very dangerous. After consuming wine or beer, a driver may feel dizzy and lose consciousness because of the alcohol. Secondly, a person should not drive if he or she is tired. After a long day of work, a person will feel tired and sleepy. If a driver feels really worn out after working overtime, he or she should not drive. Taking a taxi is a safer alternative. Tiredness is one of the main factors that cause car accidents. Thirdly, do not drive without a driver's license. Some teenagers are curious about driving a car, and they may want to drive without taking any lessons. Some adults also drive a car without a driver's license. It's very dangerous. It is best not to get into risky situations and go looking for trouble by doing something that is against the law. Finally, it is important to follow the traffic rules. Some drivers run through traffic lights because they are in a hurry. No matter how pressed you are for time, your life is always more valuable. A car accident can happen in the blink of an eye. Here are some final pieces of advice to avoid car accidents. Look before you leap. Treasure your life as well as that of other people, and drive safely. 據報導，南投車禍死亡率去年已下降至16.85％。車禍原因大多是由於駕駛本身所造成。諸如酒後駕駛、超速、闖紅燈，和年老駕駛反應趨於慢半拍，都是所有車禍發生的主要原因。 事實上，車禍是可以避免和預防的。以下是刊登在雜誌和報紙上的幾項建議。首先，不要酒後駕駛 －這是非常危險的。喝完酒後，駕駛可能會因為酒精作祟，而覺得頭昏眼花，或失去意識。其次，如果他或她累到不行，千萬不要獨自開車。經過一整天疲累的工作，人們會感到疲倦和昏昏欲睡。如果駕駛者在工作加班完後，真的覺得疲勞不堪，就不應該開車。改搭計程車會是比較安全的選擇。疲勞(駕駛)是導致車禍的其中一個主要因素。第三，不要無照駕駛。有些青少年會因為對於開車感到好奇，他們可能沒上過駕駛課程就開車。一些成年人也會無照駕駛。這是非常危險的行為。最好不要發生危險情況，否則會陷入官司糾紛。最後，開車最重要的是要遵守交通規則。有些駕駛因為趕時間而闖紅燈。不管你的時間有多緊迫，生命始終比任何事情更來得有價值。車禍的發生，可能在一眨眼或須臾之間就造成。 以上是一些避免車禍的金玉良言。三思而後行。珍惜你和他人生命，請安全駕駛。 decline v 減少 reaction n 反應 prevent v 預防 publish v 發表 consume v 喝 dizzy adj 頭昏的 unconsciousness n失去意識 alternative n 可供選擇 license n執照 pressed adj 緊急的 |
