"You look a little peaked" = Trông bạn hơi héo hon, tiều tụy.

'It was such a sweet shift in our relationships because originally, it was all pranks and teasing each other. And here I am pregnant (có thai), so it’s like pulling out my chair and just making sure I have enough water and, "Are you feeling okay? You look a little peaked." "I’m fine.”'
The sponsor of the legislation, Kathy Tran, was asked if her bill could permit a woman to receive an abortion (phá thai) even during labor, provided a doctor would certify her mental health was “impaired (suy yếu, khiếm khuyết).” The answer was “yes.” Furthermore, Ms. Tran’s bill proposed to lower the number of certifying doctors from three to one and the standard from “substantially and irredeemably (tuyệt vọng, không thể cứu vãn) impair” to “impair.” Call it the “you look a little peaked to me” standard.
My name is Kate, and I'm a germaphobe. I won't shake your hand if you look a little peaked, and I'll discreetly move away if you cough on the subway. I'm an expert at elbowing open a swinging door, as well as knuckling my way through an ATM transaction. The arrival of my daughter four years ago seems to have shifted my functional phobia (ám ảnh, sợ hãi) into overdrive. One afternoon, as I sanitized (làm vệ sinh, sát trùng) every page of a children's board book from the library, I began to worry that I'd crossed a line.
