冠狀病毒現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)傳播到中國大陸的所有地區(qū)
The deadly strain of coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan has now spread to every part of mainland China, from Shanghai to Tibet. The rapid increase caused the World Health Organization to declare a global health emergency and prompted Russia to close its long border with China.
武漢爆發(fā)的冠狀病毒已經(jīng)傳播到中國大陸的各個地方,從上海到西藏。這一快速增長導(dǎo)致世界衛(wèi)生組織宣布進(jìn)入全球衛(wèi)生緊急狀態(tài),并促使俄羅斯關(guān)閉了與中國之間的長邊境。
Late Thursday, the U.S. State Department also issued a "do not travel" advisory for China.
星期四晚間,美國國務(wù)院還發(fā)布了對中國的“禁止旅行”的警告。
The coronavirus has now been found in at least 20 countries since the outbreak began last month, with the Philippines and India being the latest countries to report cases. It's expected to keep growing: Respiratory virus experts in Hong Kong say they believe the outbreak's peak is still months away, likely in late spring.
自上個月爆發(fā)以來,至少有20個國家發(fā)現(xiàn)了冠狀病毒,菲律賓和印度是最新報(bào)告病例的國家。預(yù)計(jì)疫情還會繼續(xù)擴(kuò)大:香港的呼吸道病毒專家說,他們認(rèn)為疫情的高峰還需要幾個月的時間,很可能在春末到來。
"Ben Cowling, a professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the University of Hong Kong, says that in the last few days the trajectory of this outbreak has grown much clearer," NPR's Jason Beaubien reports from Hong Kong. He adds, "Cowling says the outbreak is just getting started, and he expects to see increased levels of transmission globally, including in the United States."
“香港大學(xué)傳染病流行病學(xué)教授本·考林表示,在過去幾天里,疫情爆發(fā)的軌跡變得更加清晰,”NPR新聞的杰森·博比恩從香港發(fā)回報(bào)道。他補(bǔ)充說:“考林說,疫情才剛剛開始,他預(yù)計(jì)全球范圍內(nèi),包括美國在內(nèi)的傳染程度將會增加。”
"I think it's quite likely that you will see human-to-human transmission in U.S. cities" within weeks, Cowling said – but it only took a matter of hours for his prediction to come true, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursdaythat the first human-to-human spread had occurred in Illinois.
“我認(rèn)為這是很有可能,你會看到人際傳播在美國城市”在數(shù)周內(nèi),考林說——但只花了幾個小時內(nèi)他的預(yù)言成真,為疾病控制和預(yù)防中心周四宣布,在伊利諾斯州發(fā)生第一個人際傳播。
A Chinese passenger who fell ill aboard a cruise ship in Italy was determined not to have the coronavirus Thursday – a finding that gave relief to more than 6.000 people aboard the Carnival Cruise Line-owned Costa Smeralda. Italy's health ministry says the tests it performed on samples from the woman and another passenger were negative.
周四,一名在意大利郵輪上患病的中國乘客被證實(shí)沒有感染冠狀病毒,這一發(fā)現(xiàn)讓嘉年華郵輪公司旗下的科斯塔·斯梅拉達(dá)號郵輪上的6000多人松了一口氣。意大利衛(wèi)生部表示,他們對這名婦女和另一名乘客的樣本進(jìn)行的檢測呈陰性。
The ship had returned to its Italian home port of Civitavecchia Thursday morning, at the end of a seven-day cruise through tourism-heavy areas such as Marseille, Barcelona and Mallorca. But instead of disembarking, the passengers were told to stay onboard until tests could determine whether the passenger, a 54-year-old woman from Macau, was carrying the virus.
這艘船星期四上午返回意大利的母港奇維塔韋基亞,結(jié)束了為期七天的航行,途經(jīng)馬賽、巴塞羅那和馬略卡等旅游重鎮(zhèn)。但他們沒有上岸,而是被告知留在船上,直到檢測結(jié)果確定這名來自澳門的54歲女子是否攜帶病毒。
The ship's medical staff placed the woman and her traveling companion into isolation in the Costa Smeralda's shipboard hospital Wednesday night after suspecting that she might have the coronavirus, Costa Cruises tells NPR.
科斯塔郵輪公司告訴美國國家公共電臺,周三晚上,船上的醫(yī)務(wù)人員懷疑這名女子可能感染了冠狀病毒,將她和她的旅伴隔離在科斯塔斯梅拉達(dá)船上醫(yī)院。

The World Health Organization issued a global health emergency on Thursday after holding its second meeting in as many days on the subject, with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus telling reporters in Geneva that the virus had "escalated into an unprecedented outbreak and which has been met by an unprecedented response."
世界衛(wèi)生組織在就這一問題舉行了兩天內(nèi)的第二次會議后,周四發(fā)布了全球衛(wèi)生緊急情況。世衛(wèi)組織總干事特德羅斯·阿達(dá)諾姆·蓋布賴斯在日內(nèi)瓦告訴記者,這種病毒已經(jīng)“升級為前所未有的爆發(fā),并得到了前所未有的反映。”
Tedros said via Twitter on Thursday that "Person-to-person transmission has been seen in at least 3 countries outside China — Japan, Vietnam and Germany."
德羅斯周四在推特上表示,“在中國以外的至少三個國家——日本、越南和德國——發(fā)現(xiàn)了人際傳播。”
