2011/1/11 Woman's Hour Listenging Notes

C1: Bellatrix: The beatbox (人聲口技) musician  
Belle Ehresmann, aka Bellatrix is the UK's leading female beatbox artist, and one of few performing beatbox women worldwide. In 2009 she was crowned Female Beatbox World Champion. A talented jazz double bassist, she is setting up the first ever female beatbox championships to encourage more girls onto the beatbox scene.
   Bellatrix 是不僅英國首屈一指女性人聲口技藝人 更也是世界少數表演的口技藝人  她在2009 年獲頒女子人聲口技大賽冠軍   這位本身也是爵士樂double-bass (n.) 低音提琴家的Bellatrix 正籌劃舉辦史上第一場女性的口技人聲大賽 希望藉此鼓勵更多女性能口技界發展
C2: Women in Sudan :
On 9 January, South Sudan went to the polls, to vote in a referendum (全民公投) on whether Africa’s biggest country should split in two with the South becoming Africa’s newest independent country. The vote was a condition of a 2005 deal to end over two decades of conflict between north and south. But is the South ready for independence and what will it mean for women who live there?

C3: Multi-systematic Therapy: 多元系統治療
As cuts to public services hit home, the question of how to deal with problem children becomes particularly acute. Placing young people in care or custody is very expensive, and there’s evidence it can lead to increased risk of problems further down the line. (= along the line: informal: 在某個時刻) That’s why the Government is funding research into Multi-Systemic Therapy, an approach that helps families develop the skills to deal with problem behaviour on their own, without help from social services or other agencies.
(1)MST was developed in the US as an alternative to custody.
