If you’ve ever had a migraine headache, you don’t need me to tell you it hurts. Doctors report that about twenty million people suffer from serious headaches, and ten percent of these have intractable pain–meaning it doesn’t go away. But here’s a surprise: the problem isn’t always a migraine. Sometimes very similar symptoms are caused by damage to a nerve 1 of the face, which results in the nerve itself sending nonstop “ouch” signals. What can be done? A new treatment being tried out by a few doctors, including Dr. Robert Levy 2, a neurosurgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, involves zapping with electricity certain nerves 3 that innervate the face. It’s like a marathon in which thousands of runners are crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. Someone sends up a firework nearby and for a moment all the distracted 4 runners stop and stare.
- Did he have the nerve to say that?他竟有脸说这话吗？
- He never got up enough nerve to meet me.他从没有足够的胆量来见我。
- They levy a tax on him.他们向他征税。
- A direct food levy was imposed by the local government.地方政府征收了食品税。
- What he said at the meeting strung her nerves up. 他在会议上的发言使她的神经很紧张。
- At the end of a day's teaching, her nerves were absolutely shattered. 教了一天课，她精疲力竭。
- When working, one should concentrate and not allow oneself to be distracted. 工作时要集中精力，不要分心。
- Noise outside distracted her mind from her studies. 门外的噪音使她心神不宁，无法集中注意力学习。
