33. Translate the sentences. Learn the medical metaphors:
Problems and bad situations in society or other aspects of people's lives are often talked about as if they were illnesses. The word symptom is often used when talking about problems in society. The current spate of car thefts is a symptom of a deeper underlying problem. This behaviour is symptomatic of his general lack of self-confidence. The causes of a problem can be diagnosed and the outlook for a situation can also be referred to as the prognosis in the same way as we talk about the prognosis of an illness [how experts expect it to develop]. Here are some other examples of medical metaphors:
an ailing organisation [one that has a lot of problems]. The economy has been ailing for some time, but it is hoped that the new government will improve things. a rash of burglaries [a number of similar things happening at the same time] World Cup fever election fever [great excitement] at fever pitch to reach fever pitch [a point of very high intensity] With a week to go before Anne's wedding, preparations had reached fever pitch. Experts in the history of the area take a rather jaundiced view of the likely success of the peace talks. [unenthusiastic or sceptical because of previous bad experiences] to carry the scars of / be scarred by [be permanently affected by a negative experience] I'm afraid that children will always be scarred by having experienced war at so young age.
34. Study the words and their definitions. Translate the examples into Ukrainian:

a) I could print out pictures of the insects' bodies, but I had lost their genes. So, what determines whether these genes are transcribed? But because genes are also selected in the environment provided by other genes in different species, arms races develop. One possibility is that there are master genes whose products control the activity of many others.
b) A separate report found similar cholesterolchanges in female runners. If this is satisfactory then no further action is required, as the fasting cholesterolwill be lower than the random determination. Limit cholesterol to 300 milligrams a day. Moreover, few patients, if any, have their cholesteroldecreased to very low levels with drug treatment. Was that due to decreased amounts of cholesterol in the cancer cells?
c) And there's a bit of rheumatism in my right shoulder and arm which is something of a nuisance. Arthritis and rheumatism are prominent crippling diseases. On the bathroom shelf, Alida's special salts for rheumatism were prominently displayed. A holiday on Exmoor in the course of that summer was dogged by her rheumatism.

g) In psychotherapywe began to discuss what Charles thought and felt about his life as a whole. She leaves her studio two mornings a week to drive in to the office in Rockland where she sees psychotherapy patients. The chapter concludes with some examples of how insights gained from psychotherapy can be useful in social work practice. These drugs can raise spirits enough to permit daily functioning and raise the motivation capacity for psychotherapy, too!
h) Antibiotics and hormones used in human drugs have been detected in drinking water and our rivers. Parents tend to blame their daughters' moody, erratic behavior on hormones, choice of friends or television-viewing habits. The blame-if you can really call it that-can be placed on their active adolescent hormones.
i) In contrast to a previous report, we found no significant inverse relations between birth weight and blood pressure. Lifting very heavy weights can also raise your blood pressure considerably for a short time.
