词：antidote

场景：回归大自然 漂尘

例子： As for me , there is no better antidote to worries than fresh air, green trees as well as high blue sky and gentle breeze that creates harmony and peace which cures everything in a nice way.

词：antidote (noun)

英英释义：something that helps to improve the effects of something bad or negative

“antidote”的本意是“解毒药”，常被引申为表示“缓解作用”“有效手段”，和我们中文里的“一剂良药”完美对应。

    “何以解忧，唯有杜康”，说的是很多人认为只有酒才能消除忧虑。

1. Some people believe that alcohol can offer a quick antidote to depression.

    米歇尔•奥巴马在回忆录 Becoming 中用到了 3 次 antidote，其中一处写到祖父（外号“Southside”）非常喜欢音乐时，她说：

2. Music seemed to be an antidote to his worries, a way to relax and crowd them out. When Southside had a payday for his carpentry work, he’d sometimes splurge and buy himself a new album. 音乐可以解忧，缓解压力。

3. It seems that music serves as a powerful antidote to worries. Music provides the perfect antidote to loneliness and boredom.

    经典工作效率提升指南 Getting Things Done 中，开篇也出现了 antidote：

4. This is the vaccination against day-to-day firefighting and an antidote for the imbalance many bring upon themselves. 

    vaccination 是“疫苗”，在这里表示“预防措施”，antidote 是“解药”，在这里表示“矫正方法”。当我们想表示一个工具、方法的有效性时，就可以用到 vaccination 和 antidote 这类词汇。句子中的 firefighting 和 imbalance 写出了上班族的狼狈，vaccination 和 antidote 和它们一一对应，相比“a good way/method”这样的表达，它们更生动、灵活和恰当。
