Julie Chin, a television news anchor in Oklahoma, was telling viewers about a local event when, all of a sudden, she was struggling to speak.

奧克拉荷馬電視台新聞主播朱莉‧秦正在向觀眾報導當地一起活動時，突然講話有困難。

“I’m sorry,” she said after stumbling over her words. “Something is going on with me this morning, and I apologize to everybody.”

她吃了一陣螺絲後說，「抱歉，我今天早上有點不對勁」。

Fortunately her co-workers recognized that she was suffering a medical emergency and immediately called 911.

幸好，她的同事意識到她發生醫療緊急狀況，立即打電話叫119。

Dr. Neil Schwartz, director of the Young Stroke Program at the Stanford Stroke Center, said in an interview that Ms. Chin might have experienced a transient ischemic attack, which can mimic a stroke.

史丹佛中風中心楊恩中風計畫主任尼爾‧史瓦茲醫師說，秦女士或許出現短暫性腦缺血，這種情況類似中風。

“When people have strokelike symptoms, we don’t want them to go back to sleep or wait until Monday to tell their doctor,” he said. “It’s better to err on the side of caution.”

「人們出現類似中風的症狀時，我們不希望他們繼續回去睡覺，或者等到週一才找醫生」，他說，「還是謹慎點比較好。」

Does Your Music Match Your Personality？

「聽」見你的個性

【摘要2022.10.19.壹蘋】

Of course, one person may enjoy many styles of music at different times and for different reasons. But scientists have noticed a few trends or connections between personalities and musical preferences. For example, people who love pop music tend to be extroverted, while people who enjoy country music are typically outgoing and traditional. While those examples may not be too surprising, other connections might be less expected. For instance, people who listen to heavy rock music actually tend to be gentle and introverted.

當然，一個人可能會在不同的時間出於不同的原因欣賞多種風格的音樂。然而科學家注意到一些個性和音樂喜好間的趨勢或關聯。比方說，喜歡流行音樂的人往往更外向一些，而喜歡鄉村音樂的人則通常較好交際和傳統。雖然上述這些例子可能不太令人驚訝，但除此之外的關聯則可能更少被料到。譬如，聽重搖滾音樂的人們其實可能偏向溫柔且內向。
