今天先更埃博拉病毒
最近在聽(tīng)CNN對(duì)剛果(Republic of Congo)埃博拉病毒疫情控制狀況做的一個(gè)陳述防嗡,我了解到了許多形容埃博拉病毒的詞匯。
1.名詞解釋 Ebola,is a disease of humans and other primates caused by ebolaviruses? a highly infectious virus that's killed thousands and could go on to kill many more.
2.重點(diǎn)詞匯 an Ebola outbreak埃博拉病毒爆發(fā)
Most of the cases in this outbreak were in a rural area.(這次疫情爆發(fā)的大多數(shù)病例生活在農(nóng)村地區(qū))
International health officials國(guó)際衛(wèi)生員? The World Health Organization世界衛(wèi)生組織
Doctors started vaccinating people.(醫(yī)生開(kāi)始給人們接種疫苗)
3.歷史 There has been at least 27 Ebola outbreaks reported since the virus was discovered in 1976, according to the CDC. This includes the 2014 West Africa outbreak where more than 11000 people died. (CDC疾病防治中心 Centers for Disease control)
4.How to respond when so many lives are at stake? We need a huge operation to stop Ebola.
Spot symptoms發(fā)現(xiàn)癥狀 (8-10days fever, vomiting,diarrhea發(fā)燒、嘔吐、腹瀉)so check temperatures in affected regions as well as at borders can help catch the virus before it spreads any further.)
Isolate patients隔離病人 (Ebola spreads through bodily fluids such as blood or saliva唾液 and even the tiniest amount can transmit the virus. If someone has Ebola, they need to be quarantined with minimal visitors.)
Trace contacts跟蹤觀察 (Contacts must be found, monitored and if they show signs of Ebola, isolate them)
Suit up穿好防護(hù)服(Anyone in contact with the patient must be protected from head to toe, even the smallest slip-up could lead to contamination and ultimately? even death. 失誤)
Administer vaccines接種疫苗 (Experimental vaccine can now be deployed to the epicenter of an outbreak, given to people in contact with the infected and their contacts. It's a strategy known as a ring vaccination.
These strategies can strangle the spread of Ebola, potentially saving thousands of lives in the process.(劃重點(diǎn) strange 使窒息)
