1. 释义：something that people think will make everything better and solve all their problems
2. 理解：名词，重音在第三个音节上，意思是“解决某些问题的万灵丹、灵丹妙药”，可用它替换“a perfect solution"。
关于这个单词的三个重点：是可数名词，但一般使用单数形式；后接表示“问题”的名词(通常复数形式出现)，比如problems/ills；panacea前面一般会和no/not/never/这样表示否定的词连用。
抽取句型：there is no panacea for X problems
一个好用的句式：X(某个解决方案), though not a universal panacea for the problems of Y, would be a reform/challenge/step in the right direction.（当我们想表示某个方案虽然不够完美，但也能奏效时，可以套用这个句式）
panacea同义词：cure-all
3. 应用
1）翻译：很多CEO希望找到解决企业所有问题的万灵药。
Many CEOs hope to find out a panacea for all of their company's problems.(参考译文：Many CEOs hope they can find the panacea for all of their company's problems. 或者Many CEOs wish they would find the panacea for all corporate ills.)
2) 造句
Donating books to depressed areas, though not a universal panacea for the problems of uneven distribution of educational resources, would be a step in the right direction.(向落后地区捐赠图书，虽然不是解决教育资源分配不均问题的万全之策，还是有积极意义的。）
