在17年前抗擊非典疫情的戰(zhàn)斗中,鐘南山以勇?lián)熑蔚挠職猓蔀樵S多中國人心目中的英雄。如今,在舉國抗擊新冠肺炎疫情之時,這位英雄再次站了出來,讓人民安心。
When the NCP was first reported in late December, the National Health Commission enlisted high-level experts to investigate the novel coronavirus. As a leading Chinese respiratory expert, Zhong was appointed the head of the expert team. Despite being 84, he took on the task without any hesitation and headed to Wuhan, the epicenter of the disease.
去年12月底,首次出現(xiàn)新型冠狀病毒肺炎病例報告時,國家衛(wèi)生健康委員會召集了高級別專家調查這種新型冠狀病毒。作為中國首屈一指的呼吸科專家,鐘南山被任命為高級別專家組組長。84歲高齡的鐘南山毫不猶豫地接下了這個任務,前往疫情中心武漢。
Due to the huge number of travelers caused by the upcoming Spring Festival, Zhong failed to book any airline or high-speed train tickets. Instead, he had to settle for a temporary seat in the dining cab of an overnight train. Even so, he didn’t take a rest that day and studied the information of infected patients until he arrived in Wuhan at 11 pm.
由于春節(jié)前夕旅客眾多,鐘南山并沒有買到飛機或者高鐵票。他只能擠在一趟夜班火車餐車的臨時座位上。盡管如此,他那天也沒有休息,而是拿出感染病患的文件來研究。他到達武漢時,已是深夜11點了。
In the next two days, he maintained his busy schedule. Apart from numerous meetings, Zhong also worked as a messenger to inform the public of the situation. During those days, Zhong only got four hours to sleep each night, Guangzhou Daily reported.
在接下來的兩天里,他的行程依然十分緊湊。除了頻繁開會之外,鐘南山還向公眾傳遞相關情況信息。據(jù)《廣州日報》報道,接連幾天里,鐘南山每天夜里只能睡四個小時。
“Zhong showed us his relentless and unflappable spirit in this incident,” Zheng Jinping, deputy director of the research center for respiratory diseases in Guangzhou, told China.org.cn.
“在此次事件中,鐘老向我們展現(xiàn)了堅持不懈、鎮(zhèn)定自若的精神,”廣州呼吸疾病研究院副所長鄭勁平在接受中國網采訪時表示。
While seeking effective measures to prevent and control the disease’s spread, Zhong also tried his best to stop the public’s panic amid the NCP outbreak.
新冠肺炎疫情期間,鐘南山在尋找有效方法來預防控制疾病傳播的同時,也盡最大努力讓公眾避免恐慌。
When many couldn’t get N95 face masks, which were believed to be the best to prevent the virus, Zhong wore a surgical mask in an interview to show people that surgical masks can also work well.
在許多人都買不到被認為是預防病毒最有效的N95口罩時,鐘南山戴著普通外科口罩接受了采訪,向大家表明這一樣有效。
In 2003, Zhong became a trusted expert due to his devotion to truth in the fight against SARS. Many were calmed by his words and listened to his advice.
2003年抗擊非典期間,堅信真理的鐘南山成為備受信任的專家。許多人聽到他的話之后都鎮(zhèn)定了下來,并遵從他的建議。
Still leading the fight against the novel coronavirus, Zhong maintains his role of telling the truth and reassuring the public. As he told Beijing Television, in this critical situation, “morale, solidarity and cooperation are very important.”
此次帶頭抗擊新冠肺炎疫情的鐘南山依然做到了按事實說話,令公眾安心。正如他在接受北京電視臺采訪時所言,在這一艱難時刻,“士氣、團結、合作很重要。”
