稀里糊涂做了一次导购，赶紧服用脑补片。
supplements(辅食)(营养)补充品--又称：保健品--俗称：补品------------俺称：长生不老神药
More than 60 per cent of all Australians use some type of supplement and the Australian complementary medicine industry reportedly generated $4.7 billion in revenue in 2016, up from $3.5 billion in 2014.
百分之六十的澳人服用某类补品。2016年，澳辅助药品产业收入47亿。
Australia's most popular supplements：
澳洲至流行补品大类：
Calcium and vitamin D 钙和维生素D  
   评价：shown no evidence to
Fish oil 鱼油                     
   评价：not as helpful as previously thought in
Vitamin C 维生素C                         
   评价：really little evidence to support       
Glucosamine 氨基葡萄糖            
   评价：haven't been able to prove
Herbal medicines 草药                 
   评价：A significant number of traditional herbal medicines do not comply with Australian regulations.
俺的总结就是：信则...,不信则...。
----------买，还是不买，真是个头大的问题。
因为有小孩在澳洲，后来自己也到了澳洲，所以这些澳洲神药大多都曾浅尝辄止过。到还想起时，则都已过期了。
曾有一同事，与俺年纪相仿，估计是神药迷，偶有机会出差与其共居一室，一到晚上，便见其盘腿坐于床上，打开腰包，取出各类神药，慢慢数出摊在小方格药合，品种目测在五种以上十种之下，俺坐在对面如同置身医院发药处。他见俺诧异的的表情，便向我娓娓道出各种神药的名称、服食周期、疗效，如数家珍，瞅准时机还顺势向俺推销。当然，俺是认死理的，从不上钩。
某次旅游至梁山水寨，突然想验证他的功力，便向他发起挑战，看谁先跑上聚义厅，结果上不到一半，俺气绝，叫停，抬头见他在俺五级之上，神情自若，胜出。果然药力不凡。

they've been overhyped and overpromoted.
Many of us use supplements as a companion to drugs we're prescribed by our doctors, while some of us turn to them because we're dissatisfied with conventional medicines and treatments.
One of the main concerns regarding these complementary medicines is that they aren't tested and regulated to the same level as prescription drugs.
As well, supplements can interact with other medicines in unforeseen ways and it's hard to know what you're getting when you buy supplements online.

"I don't object to people trialling it because I consider it to be safe, I don't necessarily recommend it to people, but if people ask me whether they can try it I don't object to it. What I usually say is to give it a three-month trial, and if you haven't improved significantly in that time then stop it,"
医生的话：因其安全，不反对试服，不作推荐。不反对服用，三个月为期，不见效用则停服。

带口烂牙去旅行，是日英语学习：
The rise of dental tourism 牙科旅游的兴起
Healthcare tourism 保健旅游 refers to people travelling overseas to undergo a medical or dental procedure.
In Australia, three in 10 people have avoided visiting a dentist due to cost, while one in five were unable to afford treatment recommended by a dentist.
澳洲，十人中三人因费用过高谢绝牙医，而五人中一人付不起牙医的治疗费用。
Some companies offer all-inclusive packages for sun, sea and smiles, meaning you can receive dental care as part of your holiday.
For Australians, the most popular destinations are countries in South-East Asia such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
阳光，大海，微笑三包的旅游产品推出，意味着你和你的那口烂牙都有一个愉快的假期。最佳去处，泰国，印尼，马来西亚和菲律宾。

看到这篇文章，突然想起俺的一位朋友，近期已二次回国，非三包产品。过去时，现在时，将来时，但愿早日有个了。

在哪练英语
自上次在教堂一次实战之后，上周，因要变更医疗卡地址，便精心部署了一次上MEDICARE英语实操。
整个过程虎头蛇尾，大致如下：
结结巴巴结结巴巴地把准备好的单词句子抛出。一个貌似华裔小姑娘噼里啪啦噼里啪啦地接招发招。俺：sorry,pardon。小姑娘放慢语速，连比带划。俺七八不离九：YEP YEP（也不知道是美式还是澳式英语，反正念着挺顺，据说还能增加归属感，拉近距离。）
三度交锋之后，直接电脑操作，俺熟练地登陆之后，正想把剩余的单词清空，小姑娘突然问，你说粤语吗？
之后，便毫无语言障碍了。
语言，可以把一件小事，复杂了，然后，又简单了。
真心佩服那些到了澳洲才学英语的老爸老妈。

Australian Government officials and contractors were ordered not to fly on Lion Air or their subsidiary airlines.
澳当局已明令政府官员及承包商禁乘飞狮。
The sadness in the Lion Air crash is that that no-one would really be shocked by it — the Indonesian aviation sector has a bad reputation for good reason.
事故最可悲的一面是，无人为故事感到震惊。（现实版狼来了）
Not in a nation where the aviation watchdog, the Director General of Civil Aviation, has proved time and again that it either cannot, will not, or does not know how to improve safety standards.
世界上只有印尼的国家航空监管机构--民用航空总局,一次又一次地证明了,它不能,不会或不知道如何提高安全标准。
Between 2002 to 2013 there have been at least 19 incidents involving the Lion Air Group in Indonesia. In one 2013 incident a pilot overran the runway in Bali and ended up in the ocean — fortunately everyone survived.

不认识，这单词很难记，不是英语啊。

上网查了一下：
单词由来：
它其实是在五零年代时，一位从事偷拍名人、贩卖照片的意大利人的姓氏。后在1960年，意大利名导演Federico Fellini所拍的La Dolce Vita (甜蜜生活)里，男主角被定名为Signor Paparazzi，是位八卦新闻摄影记者，专门跟拍影星及上流社会名人。当时，这部电影票房极佳，而Paparazzi这个名词更从此以 “记者跟拍、追八卦、揭人隐私”的形象植入人们的脑海里，成为这类追从摄影队的代名词。后来此种媒体跟拍风气传到香港后，就渐渐变成了今天我们常挂在嘴边的“狗仔队”了。

Woman's face paralysed after a tick burrowed in her ear
一只穴居其耳道的蜱虫导致一妇女面瘫
"It wasn't until doctor number seven cleared the wax and found the tick hiding behind it." she said.
By this time, the tick had grown to over one centimetre long.
"It had that time to just keep on engorging," she said.
"A fully engorged tick is about 200 — 600 times the size of an unfed tick," Ms Pozzan said.
她说：
前后看了七位医生，只有第七号医生成功在其耳垢后发现这只蜱虫。
此时,蜱虫已身展超过1厘米长。 　　 　　
在此期间该蜱继续大块朵颐。 　　 　　
一只食得满肚肥肠的蜱虫大约是一只饥肠辘辘的蜱虫的200 - 600倍的大小。
记得在广州有段时间谈蜱色变，到处在说蜱虫一咬致死，这妇女实在好运。而且她的职业是兽医，搞笑。差点以为是她养的宠物。
