Since I got addicted to adrenaline (if that’s possible 🤪), I felt obliged to share this special edition of TIME Mag 🗞

Back in 2018 when I was in the USA, I would go on magazine shopping sprees to buy up a handful of issues.. I bet if I had seen this edition, I would’ve bought it in a heartbeat 😊

By the way, have a look at these statistics 📊 Might be useful in your exam essays:

Addiction continues to have a powerful impact on so many lives and families:

🟠💨 Roughly 50 million Americans smoke,
🟠🍸 more than 16 million adults are addicted to alcohol,
🟠💊 and the spiraling epidemic of opioid addiction took nearly 55,000 American lives in 2024.

«

In addition to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, people are

hooked on

gambling, food, video games, shopping, and their smartphones.» 🪝

🟠

spiraling - быстрорастущий

🟠

hooked on - подсевший на что-л.

«

Once considered

a moral failing

, addiction is now acknowledged as a disease that

disrupts

the pathways and processes that

underlie

desire, learning, emotional regulation, and cognition. This special edition of TIME explores the biological and environmental roots of addiction and examines how science is seeking

to curb the cravings

and help Americans

kick the habit

.»

🟠

a moral failing - моральный недостаток
🟠disrupt - нарушает, подрывает
🟠underlie - лежать в основе

🟠

curb the craving (for) - обуздать тягу к

🟠

kick the habit - избавиться от привычки

right on the money 🎯

— exactly correct #idiom

Look at that, 8 из 10 переводов в яндексе абсолютно неверные 🤦🏼‍♀️ А адекватные переводы находятся в саамом низу страницы.. Идиомы не переводятся дословно, поэтому про деньги не должно говориться в русском варианте: "Этот анализ был верен деньгам." - what??

😀

😃

😄

🟢You're right on the money!

🟠His joke about local politics was right on the money, making everyone laugh. - Его шутка о местной политике попала прямо в яблочко, заставив всех смеяться.

🟠His vision for the brand was right on the money and resonated with clients.

🔴The delivery was right on the money, arriving just when we needed it. - Доставка была как раз кстати.

Рус. 1) попасть в точку; абсолютно верный 2) в самый раз = кстати, вовремя
