There are plenty of cough syrups and cough medications available over-the-counter for adults. In general, they have not been shown to work better than a spoon full of honey.
有很多非处方的咳嗽糖浆和咳嗽药物可供成年人使用。一般来说,它们并没有被证明比一勺装满蜂蜜的更好用。
The use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible. The peaceful resolution of conflicts, efforts to address crises, as well as diplomacy and dialogue, are vital. Today’s era must not be of war.
使用或威胁使用核武器是不可接受的。和平解决冲突,努力应对危机,以及外交和对话都至关重要。今天的时代绝不应是战争的时代。
“But while I have noticed many patterns, and I relate them here, this book offers no formula for success. The paradox of teaching entrepreneurship is that such a formula necessarily cannot exist; because every innovation is new and unique, no authority can prescribe in concrete terms how to be innovative. Indeed, the single most powerful pattern I have noticed is that successful people find value in unexpected places, and they do this by thinking about business from first principles instead of formulas.”
Excerpt From
Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
Peter Thiel
“但是,虽然我注意到了许多模式,并且在这里将它们联系起来,但这本书并没有提供成功的公式。 教企业家精神的悖论是这样的公式不一定存在; 因为每一项创新都是新的和独特的,没有权威可以具体规定如何创新。 事实上,我注意到的一个最强大的模式是成功的人在意想不到的地方发现价值,他们通过从第一原则而不是公式来思考商业来做到这一点。”

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
What’s the difference between quarantine and isolation?
1. If you might have been exposed to COVID-19, you should stay home. This is called
quarantine.
2. Quarantine keeps someone who might have been exposed to the virus away from others.
3. You should isolate, if you have COVID-19,whether or not you have symptoms.
4. Isolation separates people who are infected with virus from others, even in their home.
A responsible workplace should create an environment where gender and sexual diversity is respected.
一个负责任的工作场所应该创造一个尊重性别和性多样性的环境。
The abbreviation “i.e.” stands for id est, which is Latin for “that is.” The abbreviation “e.g.” stands for the Latin phrase exempli gratia, meaning “for example.”
In modern American English, a comma should follow both e.g. and i.e. And because they have both become so commonplace, it is unnecessary to place the abbreviations in italics, even though they are abbreviated Latin phrases.
缩写“即” 代表 id est,这是拉丁语中“就是”的意思。缩写“例如” 代表拉丁短语 exempli gratia,意思是“例如”。
在现代美式英语中,逗号应该跟在e.g. 和 i.e.之后,因为它们都变得如此普遍,所以没有必要将缩写词放在斜体中,即使它们是缩写的拉丁短语。
abbreviation:
Internet Protocol (IP for short)
IP address (short for Internet Protocol address)

互联网协议(简称IP)
