【词句摘记】TED,SSS等材料个人随手摘记贴

MercuryTearsUID：3408874

最近尝试在不正经复习的调剂时间里精听TED，做了一些笔记积累，觉得应该对口语，听力和独立写作中的理解和表达都有帮助。
在这里开个贴，算是督促自己坚持下去，也可以和大家互相交流。
因为是生科女，所以可能材料的兴趣侧重点比较偏生医。
前段时间大量精听了SSS之后，学到很多不错的用法，有空闲的时候一起更新上来。
寄托新手，也没有太多时间混寄托，其实也纯粹是图记录交流之便发在这里，方便自己日后查看，如果同时对你也有帮助那也不错。
或者我们可以交流一下这种表达可以在什么样的文章里怎么用……（你想多了。
交代完了入正题哈。

TED：
艾滋病病毒与流感——疫苗的策略 Seth Berkley HIV and flu——the vaccine strategy

笔记按时间轴顺序，方便通过内容来记忆和回忆，括号内为可替代内容：

• pandemic
  
  
• some 50 to 100 million
  
  
• It spread like wildfire.
  
  
• We seem to have dodged the deadly pandemic this year that most of us feared, but this threat could reappear at any time.
  
  
• We are at a moment in time when science, technology, globalization is converging to creat an unprecedented possibility: the possibility to make history by (preventing infectious diseases that still account for one-fifth of all deaths).
  
  
• Vaccines, the power of them, is really like a whisper. When they work, they can make history, but after a while you can barely hear them.
  
  
• inoculation 接种
  
  
• old-fashioned trial and error
  
  
• pathogen 病原体
  
  
• crafty bug
  
  
• cache 隐藏处 高速缓存
  
  
• foe 敌人 反对者 危害物
  
  
• neutralize 压制 抵消 中和
  
  
• penetrate mucosal barriers 穿透粘膜障碍
  
  
• front-line troops
  
  
• rendering 示意图
  
  
• In 2003, we had an H5N1 virus that jumped from birds into humans in a few isolated cases with an apparent mortality rate of 70 percent.
  
  
• And so, in a sence, our luck is holding out.
  
  
• furiously 猛烈地
  
  
• decoy 诱骗
  
  
• fleets of 一组
  
  
• The large company move away from it, because they thought the science was so difficult and vaccines were seen as poor business.
  
  
• Many thought that it was just impossible to _____, but today, evidence tells us otherwise.
  
  
• New concepts and early testing now show even greater promise in the best of _______.
  
  
• This strategy, working backwards from (an antibody to create a vaccine candidate), has never been done before in (vaccine) research.
  
  
• It's called (retro-vaccinology), and its implications extend way beyond tat of just (HIV)
  
  
• So to do that, we have to combine (smart vaccine design) with (smart production methoeds and, of course, (smart delivery methods).
  
  
• It was a slow, cumbersome process.
  
  
• Luckily for us, we live in an era of breathtaking biomedical advances.
  
  
• So are we better prepared than we were in (1918)? With the new technologies emerging now, I hope we can say definitively, "Yes."
  
  
• With a range of new technologies, we could.
  
  
• (New infectious diseases) appear or reappear every few years. Some day, perhaps soon, we'll have a (virus that is going to threaten all of us), will we be quick enough to react before (millions die)?
  
  
• So if we have the political and financial foresight to sustain our investments, we wll master (these new tools of vaccinology), and with these tools we can produce enough vaccine for everyone at low cost an ensure healthy productive lives. No longer must (flu) have to kill half a million people a year.
