不久前，西安女车主在奔驰4S店维权的视频走红网络。她在店中购买了一辆新车，但是还没开出4S店，就发现发动机漏油。结果店方只承诺更换新发动机。女子随后坐在车子引擎盖上抱怨起来。随后，戴姆勒方面暂停了这家4S店的经销权，并且与客户达成了协议。有媒体将女子的维权过程描述为“撒泼式维权。”
A video showing a Chinese woman protesting at a Mercedes Benz dealership in Xi’an went viral recently. She bought a Mercedes Benz, but the engine was found to have an oil leak before she drove it out of the shop. The dealer only promised to replace the engine with a new one. She then sat on the hood of the car complaining to the dealer. Later, Daimler, the company that owns Mercedes Benz, said that it had suspended this dealership’s sales franchise and reached an agreement with the customer. The way that this woman stood up for her rights has been described by media outlets as an “action art protest”.
马上学：Action art表示“行为艺术”，在这里意译为“撒泼式”。“维权”可以说safeguard legal rights。
落户限制
residency curb
根据国家发展改革委公布消息，我国将放松落户限制，以促进城市人口增长。发改委公布的《2019年新型城镇化建设重点任务》中，城区常住人口在300万以下的城市要全面取消落户限制，城区常住人口300万—500万的城市要放开放宽落户条件。
China will relax residency curbs to increase city populations, according to the website of the National Development and Reform Commission. It’s planned that cities with a population under 3 million should remove all limits on hukou – household registration. Meanwhile, cities with populations of between 3 and 5 million should relax restrictions on new migrants.
马上学：Curb表示“控制，限制”，如put a curb on the bad temper/spending habits （控制坏脾气／大手大脚的习惯），近义词有restriction和limit。
近视治愈
myopia cure
4月份，教育部等六部门联合发文，要求禁止商家使用 “恢复”及“近视治愈”等表述误导近视儿童青少年和家长。通知指出，在目前医疗技术条件下，近视不能治愈。
A notice released by the Ministry of Education and five other national-level departments in April bans businesses from using words such as “recovery” and “myopia cure”, which mislead nearsighted children and their parents. Given current medical technology, myopia cannot be cured, according to the notice.
马上学：近视的医学专业术语是myopia，但是日常生活中人们通常说nearsightedness或shortsightedness。
