就在昨天,美國傳奇攀岩家 Alex Honnold 僅花了 91 分鐘,完成了台北 101 大樓的「徒手獨攀」(free solo ascent),這個驚人的壯舉在台灣瞬間引爆了一股攀岩熱潮。然而,在你躍躍欲試之前,基隆長庚醫院的運動傷害專家詹益聖醫師特別提醒:攀岩是高度依賴上半身的運動,若沒有像 Honnold 一樣做好暖身與訓練,這股熱潮帶來的可能不只是帥氣的照片,還有棘手的運動傷害。本篇教學將從這則新聞出發,帶你掌握描述極限運動、身體解剖構造以及常見運動傷害的高頻英文單字。
我們將重點單字分為三個層次:從描述「事件」,深入到「身體運作」,最後是「傷害預防」。

Rock climbing? Warm up 想攀岩?先暖身
By Lin Chih-yi and Sam Garcia / Staff reporter, with staff writer
US climber Alex Honnold’s 91-minute free solo ascent of Taipei 101 yesterday fanned interest in rock climbing, but a doctor warned the sport heavily engages the upper body, so those interested should train, warm up, monitor their condition and rest as needed to reduce the risk of injury.
Rock climbing relies heavily on upper body strength, as the fingers, wrists, shoulders and elbows support the climber’s body weight as they ascend, Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital sports injury specialist Chan Yi-sheng (詹益聖) said.
International data show that 40 percent of rock-climbing injuries are related to the fingers, with shoulder and wrist injuries also common, Chan said.
美國攀岩家 Alex Honnold 昨日以 91 分鐘徒手獨攀台北 101,激起了大眾對攀岩的興趣,但醫師警告,這項運動高度依賴上半身,因此有興趣的民眾應進行訓練、暖身、監控自身狀況,並適時休息以降低受傷風險。基隆長庚紀念醫院運動傷害專科醫師詹益聖表示,攀岩高度依賴上肢力量,因為在攀登過程中,手指、手腕、肩膀和手肘需支撐攀登者的體重。詹益聖指出,國際數據顯示,40% 的攀岩傷害與手指有關,肩膀和手腕的傷害也相當常見。
描述熱門趨勢與動作 (the event & action) 1 free solo ascent (n. phr.) - 徒手獨攀(無繩索保護攀登)
*是極限運動圈最紅的關鍵字,指完全不依賴繩索保護。ascent (攀登/上升) 是高級字彙,比 simple climb 更具文學感。2 fan (v.) - 煽動;激起(如搧風點火般)
*fan 在新聞英文中非常好用,原意是「扇子」,當動詞時生動地描繪了「讓某種情緒或風氣更旺盛」的畫面,例如 fan interest (激起興趣)。
- Alex Honnold’s performance fanned interest in rock climbing across Taiwan. (Alex Honnold 的表現激起了全台灣對攀岩的興趣。)
3 engage (v.) - 啟動(肌肉);使…參與
*engage 在健身房或復健科常聽到,意指讓特定的肌肉群開始工作。
- You need to engage your core muscles to protect your back. (你需要啟動核心肌群來保護背部。)
4 monitor (v.) 監控;監測
*商業與科技英文常考字。名詞是「螢幕/監視器」,動詞則是「密切觀察、監控」。同義詞替換: Observe, Track, Keep an eye on。
- Patients with high blood pressure should monitor their salt intake strictly. (高血壓患者應該嚴格監控他們的鹽分攝取。)
- The security system monitors all activities in the building 24/7. (保全系統全天候監控大樓內的所有活動。)
5 as needed (phr.) 視需要;有必要時
*這是一種「省略句」結構,完整說法是 as it is needed。類似用法: As requested (依照要求), As discussed (如我們所討論的)。這在多益的商務書信題型中非常常見
- Take one pill every four hours as needed for pain. (疼痛時視需要每四小時服用一顆藥。)
- Add water as needed to keep the soup from drying out. (煮湯時視情況加水,以免燒乾。)
