练习写出下面加粗单词的中文释义
Diana was still doing some preparation for her presentation, which was about prejudice against women. She was invited to make a preliminary statement at the next conference, where a lot of important people would be in presence. Although Diana had made countless speeches with presence of mind, she was still a bit nervous, knowing she had to speak in the presence of the first lady. Diana used to work as a doctor but presently she devoted all her time to improving working conditions for women. "After prescribing medicines for my patients for years, I realized that there are problems that medicine can’t cure." Diana decided her speech should start like this: "A lot of women suffer from pressures, and they are pressured both at work and at home. Presumably, men figure it’s because women are very emotional, and this belief prevails. But it’s totally wrong, and it will prejudice the understanding of the real problem. Few people have realized that this issue is as important as preserving world peace, or rather, it’s the necessary preliminary to world peace." She thought she’d make a pause at the preposition "to", so she could grab the attention of the audience. She planned to conclude her speech by pointing out that men and women were able to co-exist without prejudice to either side.
Sylvia, together with 30 other volunteers, works in a refugee camp, located in the region of the border. In order to regulate the camp, there are a lot of regulations. The residents are all registered, regarding their sex, age, and health status. However, as more and more people arrive in the region, some reforms are taking place. The authorities now constantly reform the register and refine the process, so they won’t reject anyone who needs help. They also ask international organizations to reinforce the supply of food and medicine, but one thing concerning them is that sometimes they get rejects from suppliers, who try to make more profits regardless of the possible harm it could do. Sylvia wrote to the headquarters and reflected on the problem. Her reflection received prompt feedback. In future, for supplies that do not meet their requirements, refusal will be the only response. Sylvia works long hours in the camp, and doesn’t have enough rest to refresh herself. There are other difficulties, too, but she is determined to carry on regardless.
