“A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it.”
1. totally into... 完全迷戀上⋯⋯;很喜歡⋯⋯
2. find to be 發現
3. hit the body with 以⋯⋯擊中身體
4. ultraviolet 紫外線
「如果你很喜歡那個世界,你可能會想到一個我覺得頗為有趣的問題。因此,據推測,我們以強光射向人體,無論是紫外線還是威力強大的光,然而我想你說這尚未得到確認,但你將對其進行試驗。」
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting, right? ”
5. suppose 猜想;假設
6. brought sth inside the body 將⋯⋯帶入體內
7. in some way 某種方式
「然後我說,假設你可以把那種光以穿透皮膚或其它的方式帶入體內。而我想你也說過會對其進行測試。這聽起來很有趣,對吧?」
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.”
8. disinfectant (尤指用於廁所、廚房表面消毒的)消毒劑;除菌劑
9. knock sth out 毀壞;擊倒*
10. injection 注射
11. do a number on sb 傷害某人;打敗某人;使某人難堪
12. a medical doctor 醫學醫生
「然後我注意到了消毒劑,它在一分鐘內就能消滅病菌。而是否還有其它方法,我們可以藉由體內注射或近乎體內清掃的方式,因為你看到病毒進入肺部,並傷害肺部,因此測試一下此一方法應該會很有趣,所以你必須有醫生陪同,但這對我來說很有趣。因此,我們將會看到有關光的此一想法,也就是光在一分鐘內殺死病菌的方式。那真是太強大了。」
*knock something out:https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/knock+something+out
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“Again, I say maybe you can, maybe you can't. I'm not a doctor. But I'm a person that has a good...you know what. Deborah, have you ever heard of that? The heat and the light relative to certain viruses, yes, but relative to this virus? ”
13. you know what 你懂的(用於代指對話中對方可意會之事)*
14. relative to 與⋯⋯相關;有關;涉及
「再一次,我說也許你可以,也許你不能。我不是醫生。但我這個人就是⋯⋯你懂的。柏克斯,妳聽說過嗎?熱和光與某種病毒相關,是的,但跟這個病毒有關嗎?」
*此處之「you know what」可能為「you know what I mean/am talking about」的省略用法。川普可能是想說common sense、intuition、instinct等單詞來稱讚自己,只是臨時想不到要用哪一個單詞。

網友詢問,涉外民事法律適用法第46條規定:「婚姻之成立,依各該當事人之本國法。但結婚之方式依當事人一方之本國法或依舉行地法者,亦為有效。」
請問跨國同婚為什麼不用這一條的但書(即「結婚之方式依當事人一方之本國法或依舉行地法者,亦為有效」)來解套就好?
答: 這個問題確實有很多人誤解,簡單說,因為該條文所謂結婚之方式指的是儀式婚或辦理結婚登記等「方式」,然而婚姻當事人的性別要件不是結婚之「方式」,而是涉及婚姻成立的實質要件,所以台灣目前的跨國同婚問題不能用該條但書來解套。

Based on Article 46 of the Act Governing the Choice of Law in Civil Matters involving Foreign Elements, local governments have not been allowing transnational same-sex marriages unless both partners are from a country where such unions are legal, Chen said at the press conference.Article 46 of the Act states that "the formation of a marriage is governed by the national laws of each party."
However, Article 8 of the same law says that if the law of a foreign country "leads to a violation of public order or of boni mores (good morals) in the Republic of China (Taiwan)," the law of the foreign state does not have to be applied in Taiwan, another member of the TAPCPR Victoria Hsu (許秀雯) said.
Under Article 8, Hsu said, local governments can allow registration of same-sex marriages, even if one or both partners are from a country where such unions are not legal.

馬英九以習近平為「他的(中國)國家主席」?疏忽還是惡搞?
剛剛在批踢踢英文板看到有人問([1]):原來英文中,一國的總統可以稱另一國總統為「his/her 國名形容詞 president」?真有這個用法?並指出有兩個媒體這麼寫:
1. (某新聞網站的圖片說明 [2]) Cuba's President Raul Castro, left, stands with his U.S. President Barack Obama.
古巴總統卡斯楚與「他的」美國總統歐巴馬並肩而站(?)
2. (美國之聲VOA學英文網站的文字稿 [3]) Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou told his Chinese president Xi Jinping that he was worried about China’s missiles deployed across the Taiwan Strait.
台灣總統馬英九告訴「他的」中國國家主席習近平……(?)
以上兩個英文說法若成立,則意味著歐巴馬對卡斯楚,或習近平對馬英九,是上對下、尊對卑、君對臣、中央對地方的關係。(但地方政府怎會有「總統」?)
但我認爲這英文的說法是不恰當的、是錯誤的,適當的說法應該是: his U.S. counterpart、his Chinese counterpart 才對,差了一字,含義大變。改成 counterpart 就讓雙方變成對等關係,這也才是外界對國家領袖的認知:關係對等。
卡斯楚的例子,我不好說什麼,只能說該圖片說明或許是一時筆誤,或者,該記者英文有問題。
馬英九的例子,則找到答案:各位聽一聽同一網頁中語音檔的唸稿,記者「巧妙地」把 his Chinese president Xi 唸成 Chinese president Xi,沒有不該有的 his,這表示該記者發覺文字稿有誤;或者也可能,記者本來製播時就是唸 Chinese president Xi,卻被哪個聽寫人誤寫還是惡搞,加上足以引起爭端的 his?這區區一個小字,錯得可真要命唷!
以下是VOA全文:
Leaders from Taiwan and China met Saturday for the first time since the end of the civil war in China, more than 65 years ago.
The meeting was an effort to create goodwill between the two sides. In the past seven years, ties between the sides have increased. However, some Taiwanese say those ties have not resulted in economic gains or greater security.
China claimed sovereignty over self-ruled Taiwan when it formed the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Relations were icy until 2008. The two sides agreed to link the two economies.
Today in Taiwan, people are unclear about the benefits of the relationship. The island’s economy shrank in the third quarter of this year.
Many Taiwanese wanted progress from the meeting. Liu Yi-jiun is a public affairs professor at Fo Guang University in Taiwan. He said there were high expectations because these two leaders had never met. He said, after two years of planning, political and economic concessions were promised but none were seen.
Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou told his Chinese president Xi Jinping that he was worried about China’s missiles deployed across the Taiwan Strait. <== 這句話無故多了個「his」
He also said people in Taiwan were frustrated that China was blocking Taiwan’s foreign relations. China has 170 allies compared with 22 for Taiwan. This difference lets China keep Taiwan from developing its diplomacy further.
In response to Taiwan’s concerns about missiles, Xi Jinping said Saturday China’s missiles were not aimed at Taiwan.
However, economic concerns remain. Taiwan has signed free-trade agreements with Singapore and New Zealand. Both countries have relations with the two sides. But China has blocked Taiwan from joining the United Nations or other international organizations.
Taiwanese officials say deals with China have created 9,600 jobs among a population of 23 million. Agreements that opened tourism brought a total 2.8 million mainland Chinese to the island last year. That is up from almost no tourism in 2007.
Trade deals also have helped increase total imports and exports to $130 billion last year.
China remains Taiwan’s largest trading partner. And it is the top receiver of Taiwanese foreign investment.
Some people complain the benefits of 23 deals with mainland China covering trade and other areas are reaching mainly the owners of big companies.
In Taiwan’s capital markets, investment from China amounts to only a fraction of the island government’s quota, or the amount permitted.
Tseng Ming-chung is Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission in Taiwan. He said Friday that the Taiwanese government has approved almost every application for investment from China.
He says the amount of money is extremely small. He adds that the Taiwanese government is not refusing applications. Tseng says mainland Chinese institutions cannot freely set up qualified domestic institutional investors.
China insists on eventual unification with Taiwan. However, public opinion polls show most Taiwanese oppose that goal.
Nathan Liu says the future of relations between the sides is unclear.
“…They think that at least by the end of Ma’s term the two sides should at least reach some kind of agreement,” he said. He noted that, an understanding that the sides are going toward common goals is needed, although it may not be a signed agreement. “This is not complete yet,” he said.
President Ma Ying-jeou has supported closer ties with mainland China. But he and his KMT party have lost support. He must step down next year because of term limits.
A backlash against economic deals with China started mass street protests in March 2014. That anger has given the island’s top opposition party candidate a lead in opinion polls ahead of the January presidential election. Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party has been highly critical of President Ma’s dealings with China.
Experts say the Saturday leadership summit appears not to have done enough to change voter opinion.
