Things I Learned This Week

• 自忖（ㄘㄨㄣˇ）：暗自思考/揣度
• 在臺灣刑事程序中，偵字案 代表檢察官已正式啟動偵查，案件具有一定犯罪嫌疑，並可能進行搜索、傳喚與調取資料等強制措施；最終將做成起訴、不起訴或緩起訴等處分。相較之下，他字案 屬於檢察署對移送、舉發或線索的初步處理階段，尚未正式啟動偵查，也沒有強制權限；若初查後認為有犯罪嫌疑，才會轉列偵字案，否則直接簽結。簡而言之：「偵字案＝涉及犯罪嫌疑，正式立案偵查；他字案＝還在初步評估，不一定有犯罪。」
• 在藏傳佛教中，仁波切（Rinpoche）是「珍貴的存在」的尊稱，用來指稱德行深厚、具高度修行成就的人。包括：被認定為上一世高僧轉世的活佛（祖古）、在宗派中享有崇高聲望的大德高僧，以及具備傳法資格與深度修為的上師。它不是姓名，而是一種榮譽性稱號；雖然多數仁波切同時也是「喇嘛」，但並非每位喇嘛都可被稱為仁波切。總結來說，仁波切象徵的是一位在精神修行與慈悲實踐上，受到高度敬重的導師。
• 台灣的 流感疫苗 分為「公費」與「自費」兩種途徑：公費流感疫苗提供給 65 歲以上長者、50–64 歲成人、6 個月至高中職學生、孕婦、醫護人員、高風險慢性病患者等特定族群，由政府負擔費用；而自費流感疫苗則向所有民眾開放，疫苗種類更多，包括四價、高劑量、細胞培養型等，費用約 800–1,500 元不等。由於流感病毒每年變異、人體保護力會在半年至一年間下降，建議每年施打一劑流感疫苗，並以 9–10 月「接種」為最佳時間，以在秋冬流感季前建立完整防護。
• Roger Bannister (1929–2018) was a British middle-distance runner who became the first person to run a mile in under four minutes (Four-Minute Mile), completing it in 3:59.4 on May 6, 1954 at Oxford’s Iffley Road Track. Bannister’s running career was relatively short, as he retired from competitive athletics shortly after his historic achievement to focus on his medical career. He became a distinguished neurologist, while his athletic legacy continued to inspire generations of runners worldwide.
