dressing, porthole, window dressing, French dressing

SAN FRANCISCO — The browser, that porthole onto the broad horizon of the Web, is about to get some fancy new window dressing.

會變色“報警”的傷口敷料
英國巴斯大學(Bath University)的科學家研發了一種傷口敷料,如果測到傷口出現感染,將會改變顏色,這將避免不必要的使用抗生素。
如果傷口中的細菌發出有毒物質,這種敷料將釋放出螢光染料。
這樣醫生就能很快確診,迅速治療。這對兒童燒傷病患尤其重要,因為兒童的免疫系統尚不成熟,傷口更容易感染。

French dressing

拌醬並沒啥特殊之處,就是一般的農場拌醬 ranch dressing。只是菜面上多了一些捏碎的藍酪塊,還有若干糖炒胡桃粒pecan(注意!不是核桃,是胡桃)。
