1.tired of 厌烦

I have tired of these computer games.
我已经对这些电脑游戏感到厌烦。

IF YOU are tired of hearing the word “cloud” attached to every term in the computing lexicon, you are not alone.
要是你厌烦听到计算机词汇每个术语都跟着“云”这个词，那么有此想法者，不独你一人。

2.public hospital 公立医院

Inspired by breakthroughs in gene therapy in China, it has, for example, established the Vietnam Gene Therapy Center within a major public hospital in Hanoi.

She'd never been to a public hospital before.
在此之前，她从来没有去过公立医院。

3.blood test 验血；化验血

Initially, doctors are expected to use the new blood test with women at risk for a Down syndrome pregnancy, such as those older than 35.
首先，医生希望对那些可能怀有唐氏综合症胎儿的妇女做这种新的血液试验，比如这些妇女年龄在35岁以上。

Some doctors will see you right away to confirm your pregnancy with a blood test, but many prefer to wait until week 8 to schedule and appointment.
一些医生会马上给你诊断，通过血液检测来确定你是否怀孕了，但许多医生更喜欢等到第8周再安排时间约定诊断。

4.health care 卫生保健

There is great uncertainty, mostly because there is such uncertainty in general about how to control the rate of growth in health care costs.
有很大的不确定性，主要是一般因为这种不确定性是有关如何控制卫生保健费用的增长速度。

In this environment, whether annual health care costs rise or fall by 1% or even 5% is irrelevant — all we do is move the day of reckoning less than 1 year closer or farther away.
在这种环境下，无论是每年的卫生保健费用上升或下降1％甚至5％都是无关紧要的-我们所能做的便是变动计算天数不到1年或更远一点。
