4月，依舊是疫情防控的一個(gè)月。國(guó)內(nèi)疫情風(fēng)險(xiǎn)穩(wěn)步降低，海外疫情還在發(fā)展，我國(guó)采取了一系列嚴(yán)防輸入的疫情防控舉措。本月重點(diǎn)熱詞有：全國(guó)哀悼日、5G消息、糧食安全、就業(yè)歧視、零號(hào)病人以及北京突發(fā)公共衛(wèi)生事件響應(yīng)降級(jí)。

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)祭掃活動(dòng) on-site commemorative activities

4月1日，在國(guó)務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制召開(kāi)的新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上，民政部社會(huì)事務(wù)司副司長(zhǎng)范瑜在回答記者提問(wèn)時(shí)表示，目前“外防輸入、內(nèi)防反彈”的要求不能放松，今年清明除了現(xiàn)場(chǎng)祭掃以外，倡導(dǎo)多樣化的祭掃方式。

Nine provinces, including Central China’s Hubei province, have suspended on-site commemorative activities during the three-day holiday from Saturday to Monday, according to Fan.
范瑜表示，湖北省等9省已經(jīng)決定暫停4月4日至6日期間的清明現(xiàn)場(chǎng)祭掃活動(dòng)。

She said that some provinces and cities require people to follow strict reservation rules for tomb sweeping.
她指出，還有一些省市要求人們嚴(yán)格遵守祭掃預(yù)約規(guī)定。

比如有的地方規(guī)定，居家或者集中觀察期未滿(mǎn)的人員是不能預(yù)約現(xiàn)場(chǎng)祭掃的（those who are under home quarantine or concentrated observation are not allowed to make reservations for on-site commemorative activities），有關(guān)人員要自覺(jué)遵守。

預(yù)約成功后要按預(yù)約時(shí)間和規(guī)定的人數(shù)前去祭掃。

除了現(xiàn)場(chǎng)祭掃外，為了鞏固疫情防控成果，今年清明祭掃活動(dòng)還大力推廣非現(xiàn)場(chǎng)祭掃方式。

The Ministry of Civil Affairs encourages people to mourn their ancestors and deceased family members in more civil and eco-friendly ways, such as organizing commemorative activities at home or online.
民政部倡導(dǎo)人們用更加文明環(huán)保的方式祭祀先輩和逝去的親人，比如，居家追思或網(wǎng)絡(luò)祭掃。

Some civil affairs departments have opened online platforms for commemoration.
一些民政部門(mén)已經(jīng)開(kāi)通了網(wǎng)上祭掃平臺(tái)。

Staff members at funeral parlors also offer charity services, for example, helping deliver flowers and send condolences, to reduce risks of infection due to mass gatherings.
殯葬服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)工作人員也會(huì)提供公益性代祭服務(wù)，比如，代獻(xiàn)花、留言寄語(yǔ)等，以降低因人群聚集而帶來(lái)的感染風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

范瑜說(shuō)，

The control measures may bring inconvenience to the public but we believe that cherishing the health of living people is the best consolation to the deceased.
對(duì)清明節(jié)祭掃的相關(guān)限制措施，大家可能覺(jué)得很繁瑣，但是我們認(rèn)為，生者的健康平安是對(duì)逝者最好的告慰。

全國(guó)哀悼日 national day of mourning

為表達(dá)全國(guó)各族人民對(duì)抗擊新冠肺炎疫情斗爭(zhēng)犧牲烈士和逝世同胞的深切哀悼，國(guó)務(wù)院發(fā)布公告，決定2020年4月4日舉行全國(guó)性哀悼活動(dòng)。
China will hold a national mourning Saturday for martyrs who died in the fight against the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and compatriots died of the disease, according to the State Council.

在此期間，全國(guó)和駐外使領(lǐng)館下半旗志哀，全國(guó)停止公共娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)。
During the commemoration, national flags will fly at half-mast across the country and in all Chinese embassies and consulates abroad, and public recreational activities will be suspended across the country.

【單詞講解】

“下半旗”除了可以用這里的flags fly at half-mast表達(dá)之外，用flags fly at half-staff也是可以的。為什么會(huì)用mast和staff這兩個(gè)詞呢？因?yàn)閙ast本意是“桅桿”，后來(lái)也用來(lái)指“旗桿”，而staff其實(shí)是flagstaff的縮寫(xiě)，flagstaff相當(dāng)于flagpole，本身就是“旗桿”的意思。

4月4日10時(shí)起，全國(guó)人民默哀3分鐘，汽車(chē)、火車(chē)、艦船鳴笛，防空警報(bào)鳴響。
At 10:00 am Saturday, Chinese people nationwide will observe three-minute silence to mourn for the deceased, while air raid sirens and horns of automobiles, trains and ships will wail in grief.

【單詞講解】

“默哀”比較常用的英文表達(dá)是observe (three-minute) silence (for someone)或者pay silent tribute (to someone)。Tribute可以表示“（對(duì)死者的）致敬，悼念，致哀”。例如：an obituary tribute（悼辭）；此外，tribute還可以表示“頌詞”，例如：a birthday tribute（生日祝福）。

 

糧食安全 food security

4月4日下午，國(guó)務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制就做好疫情期間糧食供給和保障工作情況舉行發(fā)布會(huì)。

有記者提問(wèn)，受新冠肺炎疫情影響，不少?lài)?guó)家開(kāi)始限制糧食出口，特別是哈薩克斯坦、越南等國(guó)開(kāi)始宣布限制小麥、大米出口。在這種情況下我們身邊可能會(huì)有些人因?yàn)閾?dān)心食品短缺而進(jìn)行囤積搶購(gòu)，請(qǐng)問(wèn)我國(guó)糧食安全總體形勢(shì)如何？

【詞匯講解】

在英語(yǔ)里，“糧食安全”用food security表示，而food safety則表示“食品安全”。這二者的區(qū)別是：food security強(qiáng)調(diào)的是確保人們都能得到維持健康生活所需要的糧食，主要跟糧食的供應(yīng)和人們獲取的渠道有關(guān)；而food safety強(qiáng)調(diào)的是確保人們吃進(jìn)嘴里的食物在生產(chǎn)、存儲(chǔ)和銷(xiāo)售等環(huán)節(jié)都符合衛(wèi)生健康標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

China has ample food production and grain reserves despite the novel coronavirus impact, so there is no need to hoard groceries, officials have said.
有關(guān)負(fù)責(zé)人表示，雖然有新冠肺炎疫情影響，但我國(guó)糧食產(chǎn)量豐、庫(kù)存足，沒(méi)有必要囤積糧食。

農(nóng)業(yè)農(nóng)村部發(fā)展規(guī)劃司司長(zhǎng)魏百剛用四組數(shù)字對(duì)上述問(wèn)題進(jìn)行了回應(yīng)。

第一組數(shù)據(jù)，糧食產(chǎn)量。

The country has recorded a long streak of bumper years, with grain output reaching a record of 663.9 billion kg last year.
我國(guó)糧食生產(chǎn)連年豐收，去年的產(chǎn)量達(dá)到6639億公斤，創(chuàng)歷史新高。

第二組數(shù)據(jù)，人均糧食占有量。

The per capita output of grain in China has been higher than the world average since 2010.
2010年以來(lái)，我們國(guó)家人均糧食占有量持續(xù)高于世界平均水平。

 

第三組數(shù)據(jù)，糧食庫(kù)存量。

The repertory of rice and wheat in the country is enough for the whole population for one year.
小麥和稻谷庫(kù)存大體相當(dāng)于全國(guó)人民一年的消費(fèi)量。

第四組數(shù)據(jù)，我國(guó)谷物進(jìn)口量。

China imported 14.68 million tons of grain last year, accounting for 2% of the total consumption in the country.
中國(guó)去年凈進(jìn)口1468萬(wàn)噸，僅占全國(guó)谷物消費(fèi)量的2%左右。

農(nóng)業(yè)農(nóng)村部種植業(yè)管理司司長(zhǎng)潘文博在發(fā)布會(huì)上表示，

China has unveiled a series of "unconventional measures" to stabilize grain production, including setting region-specific grain plantation targets, offering subsidies for farmers and raising minimum prices for state procurement of rice, which secured a good start this year and would ensure stable grain production for the whole year.
今年我國(guó)采取了一系列“超常規(guī)”措施穩(wěn)住糧食生產(chǎn)，包括按地區(qū)設(shè)定今年糧食種植目標(biāo)，為農(nóng)民提供補(bǔ)貼，提高糧食最低收購(gòu)價(jià)等，糧食生產(chǎn)有了一個(gè)好的開(kāi)局，能夠穩(wěn)住今年糧食生產(chǎn)。

We have the confidence and determination to hold firm our rice bowl.
我們有信心、有決心端牢中國(guó)人的飯碗。

 

健康信息 health information

中國(guó)民用航空局、中華人民共和國(guó)海關(guān)總署4月7日發(fā)布關(guān)于中國(guó)籍旅客乘坐航班回國(guó)前填報(bào)防疫健康信息的公告。

Chinese passengers who are going to fly from 26 countries, including the United States, Italy and Spain, to China are required to submit their health information prior to boarding the plane, the country's civil aviation regulator said on Tuesday.
民航局4月7日表示，從美國(guó)、意大利、西班牙等26國(guó)回國(guó)的中國(guó)籍旅客需在乘坐航班前填報(bào)個(gè)人健康信息。

具體要求如下：

Passengers who already booked air tickets to China must report their personal information, health status and recent travel history on a daily basis starting from Wednesday via a WeChat mini-program before boarding. Under special circumstances, the information can be submitted with the help of someone else.
自2020年4月8日起，已購(gòu)票旅客在登機(jī)前需要提前通過(guò)防疫健康碼國(guó)際版微信小程序，逐日填報(bào)個(gè)人資料、健康狀況、近期出行情況等信息。特殊情況可由他人代為填報(bào)。

Passengers who take the flights during the transition period between Wednesday and April 22 should report the related information every day ahead of their flights. Passenger who plan to fly after April 22 need to report the information daily for two weeks before boarding.
2020年4月8日至4月22日為過(guò)渡期。過(guò)渡期內(nèi)乘坐航班的中國(guó)籍旅客，應(yīng)于4月8日起連續(xù)逐日填報(bào)。過(guò)渡期后乘坐航班的，應(yīng)于登機(jī)前第14天起連續(xù)逐日填報(bào)。

【詞匯講解】

這里的“過(guò)渡期”用transition period表示，transition指的是從一種狀態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)變到另一種狀態(tài)的過(guò)程，即“過(guò)渡，轉(zhuǎn)變”，比如： difficult transition from childhood to adulthood（從童年到成年的艱難轉(zhuǎn)變）。另外一個(gè)與transition拼寫(xiě)很接近的詞transitory表達(dá)的是“轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的、短暫的”意思，比如：transitory happiness（轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的幸福）。

People who do not fill out the information as required will not be allowed to board, and passengers who failed to report it truthfully cannot continue their trip and need to bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
未按上述要求填報(bào)的，將無(wú)法登機(jī)。旅客填報(bào)虛假信息，將導(dǎo)致行程受阻，并須承擔(dān)相應(yīng)法律責(zé)任。

公告中所列國(guó)家為：意大利、美國(guó)、西班牙、德國(guó)、伊朗、法國(guó)、韓國(guó)、瑞士、英國(guó)、荷蘭、奧地利、比利時(shí)、挪威、葡萄牙、瑞典、澳大利亞、巴西、土耳其、馬來(lái)西亞、丹麥、加拿大、以色列、捷克、愛(ài)爾蘭、菲律賓、泰國(guó)。

 

5G消息業(yè)務(wù) 5G messaging service

4月8日，中國(guó)移動(dòng)、中國(guó)電信、中國(guó)聯(lián)通聯(lián)合舉行線(xiàn)上發(fā)布會(huì)，共同發(fā)布《5G消息白皮書(shū)》。

Falling under the technical name of rich communication services, or RCS, the 5G messaging service is designed to replace current short messages with a system that is richer, provides phone book polling, and can transmit in-call multimedia.
5G消息，其技術(shù)名稱(chēng)為“富媒體通信/富通信服務(wù)”，旨在用一個(gè)更加豐富的體系取代現(xiàn)有的短信服務(wù)，可以提供通訊錄查詢(xún)以及通話(huà)時(shí)多媒體傳輸。

據(jù)介紹，5G消息業(yè)務(wù)（5G messaging service）是終端原生基礎(chǔ)短消息服務(wù)的全新升級(jí)（an upgrade to the existing standard SMS messaging），依照交互方式大致可分為兩類(lèi)：即個(gè)人用戶(hù)之間（P2P communication），以及企業(yè)與個(gè)人用戶(hù)之間的信息交互（B2C reach）。

對(duì)于個(gè)人用戶(hù)而言，5G消息將打破傳統(tǒng)短信對(duì)每條信息的長(zhǎng)度限制（no word limits），內(nèi)容方面也將突破文字局限，實(shí)現(xiàn)文字、圖片、音頻、視頻、位置等信息的有效融合（an integration of texts,images, audio, video and location information）。

對(duì)于企業(yè)而言，5G消息將為其提供與個(gè)人用戶(hù)之間的信息交互接口（interaction between businesses and individuals）。企業(yè)可通過(guò)文字、語(yǔ)音、選項(xiàng)卡等富媒體方式向用戶(hù)輸出個(gè)性化服務(wù)與咨詢(xún)。

With the new messaging service, for instance, consumers don't have to download a variety of mobile apps. They can directly buy train tickets and book flights by sending messages.
比如，使用5G消息后，用戶(hù)不需要下載各種移動(dòng)應(yīng)用軟件，可以直接通過(guò)消息窗口購(gòu)買(mǎi)火車(chē)票或者預(yù)訂航班。

此外，5G消息還支持加密傳輸（encrypted transmission）、圖形密碼（graphic verification code）等信息交互方式，可提供信息安全保障，保護(hù)用戶(hù)隱私。

簡(jiǎn)單而言，5G消息是短信和彩信的升級(jí)版，可以發(fā)送圖文、音視頻等更加豐富的內(nèi)容信息；與現(xiàn)有即時(shí)通訊類(lèi)APP的區(qū)別是，5G消息以手機(jī)號(hào)作為用戶(hù)ID，無(wú)需另外安裝APP，也無(wú)需添加好友或關(guān)注企業(yè)號(hào)碼，即可實(shí)現(xiàn)消息收發(fā)（send and receive messages without friending others or following business accounts）。

The global telecom industry association GSMA has reached a consensus that RCS will become the mandatory function of 5G smartphones.
全球移動(dòng)通信系統(tǒng)協(xié)會(huì)已達(dá)成共識(shí)，5G消息將成為5G手機(jī)的必備功能。

The three telecom carriers disclosed in March that they would invest about 180 billion yuan on 5G this year. They will also build 550,000 5G base stations this year.
三大運(yùn)營(yíng)商上月透露，他們今年將在5G領(lǐng)域投資1800億元，年內(nèi)建設(shè)55萬(wàn)個(gè)5G基站。

伴侶動(dòng)物 companion animal

農(nóng)業(yè)農(nóng)村部近日制訂了《國(guó)家畜禽遺傳資源目錄(征求意見(jiàn)稿)》，就畜禽目錄向社會(huì)公開(kāi)征求意見(jiàn)。

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has excluded dogs from its draft list of edible terrestrial animals.
農(nóng)業(yè)農(nóng)村部在這份目錄征求意見(jiàn)稿中未將狗列為可食用陸生動(dòng)物。

The draft has proposed as edible species the 18 traditional forms of livestock including pigs, cattle, chickens and ducks, alongside 13 special species including ostriches, silver foxes and minks.
該目錄包括可食用的傳統(tǒng)畜禽18種，包括豬、牛、雞、鴨等，特種畜禽13種，包括鴕鳥(niǎo)、銀狐、水貂等。

在針對(duì)目錄的說(shuō)明中，農(nóng)業(yè)農(nóng)村部專(zhuān)門(mén)提到，

Excluding dogs - an essential human companion animal - is a common global practice and is considered a sign of civilization.
狗是人類(lèi)伴侶動(dòng)物，不將其列入目錄是國(guó)際通行的做法，也是文明的象征。

今年2月《全國(guó)人民代表大會(huì)常務(wù)委員會(huì)關(guān)于全面禁止非法野生動(dòng)物交易、革除濫食野生動(dòng)物陋習(xí)、切實(shí)保障人民群眾生命健康安全的決定》發(fā)布以來(lái)，關(guān)于哪些動(dòng)物能吃，引發(fā)了廣泛的社會(huì)討論，《目錄》的制定意味著這一問(wèn)題將有官方定論。

農(nóng)業(yè)農(nóng)村部表示，在目錄制訂過(guò)程中，主要掌握四個(gè)原則：

一是堅(jiān)持科學(xué)，列入目錄的畜禽須經(jīng)過(guò)長(zhǎng)期人工飼養(yǎng)馴化（long-term breeding and taming by human），有穩(wěn)定的人工選擇經(jīng)濟(jì)性狀；

二是突出安全，優(yōu)先保障食品安全（food safety）、公共衛(wèi)生安全（public health safety）、生態(tài)安全（environmental safety）；

三是尊重民族習(xí)慣（respect ethnic customs），考慮多民族生產(chǎn)生活需要和傳統(tǒng)文化等因素；

四是與國(guó)際接軌，參照國(guó)際通行做法和國(guó)際慣例（follow global practice）等。

目錄里包括的動(dòng)物有哪些？

目錄包括傳統(tǒng)畜禽和特種畜禽共31個(gè)種，其中傳統(tǒng)畜禽18種：豬、普通牛、瘤牛、水牛、牦牛、大額牛、綿羊、山羊、馬、驢、駱駝、兔、雞、鴨、鵝、火雞、鴿、鵪鶉；特種畜禽13種：梅花鹿、馬鹿、馴鹿、羊駝、珍珠雞、雉雞、鷓鴣、綠頭鴨、鴕鳥(niǎo)、水貂、銀狐、藍(lán)狐、貉。

農(nóng)業(yè)農(nóng)村部表示，列入目錄的畜禽（livestock），適用《畜牧法》，由畜牧獸醫(yī)主管部門(mén)管理；目錄所列物種的野外種群（wild population of the listed species），以及目錄之外的陸生野生動(dòng)物（wild terrestrial animals），適用《野生動(dòng)物保護(hù)法》，由林業(yè)和草原部門(mén)管理。

就業(yè)歧視 job discrimination

隨著湖北地區(qū)疫情防控形勢(shì)好轉(zhuǎn)，各地復(fù)工復(fù)產(chǎn)進(jìn)程加速，外出務(wù)工的湖北籍勞動(dòng)者不斷增多。但有媒體報(bào)道，一些地方出現(xiàn)了湖北籍勞動(dòng)者受到區(qū)別對(duì)待、難找工作甚至被無(wú)故辭退的情況。

China's top legislature has called on governments to offer more aid to laborers from regions hit hard by the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak when they return to work to help them overcome difficulties such as discrimination and ensure fair employment and the orderly resumption of production.
全國(guó)人大常委會(huì)呼吁各級(jí)政府為新冠肺炎疫情嚴(yán)重地區(qū)的務(wù)工人員返崗提供支持，幫助他們解決就業(yè)歧視等困難，確保就業(yè)公平及有序復(fù)工。

全國(guó)人大常委會(huì)法工委社會(huì)法室主任郭林茂今表示：

Labor is a basic constitutional right of citizens, and the Chinese Labor Law is clear on guaranteeing fair employment and prohibiting job discrimination.
勞動(dòng)權(quán)是憲法賦予公民的一項(xiàng)基本權(quán)利。我國(guó)勞動(dòng)法律對(duì)保障勞動(dòng)者公平就業(yè)、禁止就業(yè)歧視作了明確規(guī)定。

規(guī)定主要包括以下幾個(gè)方面：

一是就業(yè)促進(jìn)法規(guī)定，國(guó)家把擴(kuò)大就業(yè)放在經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展的突出位置（uphold the importance of expanding employment in the country's economic and social development），各級(jí)人民政府應(yīng)當(dāng)創(chuàng)造公平就業(yè)環(huán)境（ensure employment equality），多渠道擴(kuò)大就業(yè)（expand job opportunities in various ways）。

二是根據(jù)勞動(dòng)法、就業(yè)促進(jìn)法，國(guó)家保障勞動(dòng)者公平就業(yè)，反對(duì)任何形式的就業(yè)歧視。用人單位以勞動(dòng)者地域不同為由解除勞動(dòng)合同，也違反勞動(dòng)合同法相關(guān)規(guī)定，應(yīng)承擔(dān)相應(yīng)法律責(zé)任（employers who terminated contracts on the grounds of employees' place of origin were in breach of the Chinese Labor Contract Law and should bear legal liability）。

三是各級(jí)人力資源和社會(huì)保障部門(mén)依法對(duì)用人單位執(zhí)行勞動(dòng)法律、法規(guī)的情況進(jìn)行監(jiān)督檢查（monitor whether the applicable laws are being enforced），對(duì)違法行為予以制止，并責(zé)令改正（deter and correct employers' misconduct）。

郭林茂指出，

People from Hubei, especially those from Wuhan, capital of the province, were tenacious and brave during the outbreak, with strict enforcement of the epidemic control rules and extremely great efforts in fighting the disease, so we need to provide more help for them when they return to work.
在疫情防控戰(zhàn)中，湖北人民特別是武漢人民不畏艱險(xiǎn)、頑強(qiáng)不屈，自覺(jué)服從疫情防控大局需要，主動(dòng)投身疫情防控斗爭(zhēng)，付出了極大努力。我們需要為湖北籍勞動(dòng)者返崗就業(yè)提供更多幫助。

Regional discrimination in recruitment damages laborers' equal employment rights. It is neither legal nor beneficial in consolidating the results of epidemic control work and promoting social economic development.
地域歧視損害了勞動(dòng)者公平就業(yè)的權(quán)利，既不合法，更不利于鞏固疫情防控成果和促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展。

滅活疫苗 inactivated vaccines

國(guó)務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制科研攻關(guān)組表示，我國(guó)兩款新冠病毒滅活疫苗獲得國(guó)家藥品監(jiān)督管理局一二期合并的臨床試驗(yàn)許可，相關(guān)臨床試驗(yàn)同步啟動(dòng)。

The two vaccines are China's first batch of COVID-19 inactivated vaccines that have obtained clinical trial approval. Using killed pathogenic microorganisms for enhancing the immunogenicity, the vaccines have advantages of mature production process, controllable quality standards and wide protection range.
此次獲批進(jìn)入臨床試驗(yàn)的兩款滅活疫苗是我國(guó)首批獲得臨床研究批件的新冠病毒滅活疫苗，是一種殺死病原微生物但仍保持其免疫原性的疫苗，具有生產(chǎn)工藝成熟、質(zhì)量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)可控、保護(hù)范圍廣等優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

They can be used for large-scale vaccination, and their safety and effectiveness can by judged by internationally accepted standards.
這兩款疫苗可用于大規(guī)模接種，并且有國(guó)際通行標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來(lái)判斷疫苗的安全性和有效性。

疫苗對(duì)疫情防控至關(guān)重要。疫情發(fā)生以來(lái)，國(guó)務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制科研攻關(guān)組專(zhuān)門(mén)設(shè)立疫苗研發(fā)專(zhuān)班，按照滅活疫苗（inactivated vaccines）、重組蛋白疫苗（recombinant protein vaccines）、腺病毒載體疫苗（adenovirus vector vaccines）、減毒流感病毒載體活疫苗（vaccines using attenuated influenza virus as vectors）、核酸疫苗（nucleic acid vaccines）5條技術(shù)路線(xiàn)共布局12項(xiàng)研發(fā)任務(wù)，目前均在穩(wěn)步推進(jìn)。

China has laid a solid foundation for research in inactivated vaccines, which has been widely used to fight hepatitis A, influenza, hand-foot-and-mouth disease and poliomyelitis.
我國(guó)的滅活疫苗有較好研究基礎(chǔ)，甲肝滅活疫苗、流感滅活（裂解）疫苗、手足口病滅活疫苗、脊髓灰質(zhì)炎滅活疫苗等均已廣泛應(yīng)用。

這兩款新冠病毒滅活疫苗分別由國(guó)藥集團(tuán)中國(guó)生物武漢生物制品研究所、北京科興中維生物技術(shù)有限公司聯(lián)合有關(guān)科研機(jī)構(gòu)開(kāi)發(fā)而成。

據(jù)了解，上述獲得臨床試驗(yàn)許可的企業(yè)具備大規(guī)模滅活疫苗生產(chǎn)能力（the capacity for large-scale production），根據(jù)國(guó)家相關(guān)法律法規(guī)，已為緊急使用做好準(zhǔn)備。

世衛(wèi)組織“斷供” suspend funding WHO

美國(guó)總統(tǒng)特朗普4月14日宣布，美國(guó)暫停向世界衛(wèi)生組織提供資金。

US President Donald Trump says he has instructed his administration to halt funding to the World Health Organization (WHO).He said the WHO had "failed in its basic duty" in its response to the coronavirus outbreak.
美國(guó)總統(tǒng)特朗普表示，他已指示其政府暫停向世界衛(wèi)生組織提供資金。他說(shuō)，世衛(wèi)組織在應(yīng)對(duì)新冠肺炎疫情時(shí)“沒(méi)有履行其基本職責(zé)”。

Mr Trump said funding would be on hold for 60 to 90 days pending a review of the WHO’s warnings about the coronavirus and China.
特朗普表示，暫停提供資金的期限將持續(xù)60到90天，在此期間將對(duì)世衛(wèi)組織就新冠病毒及中國(guó)疫情發(fā)出的警示信息進(jìn)行評(píng)估。

特朗普在白宮記者會(huì)上表示：

With the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have deep concerns whether America’s generosity has been put to the best use possible. The reality is that the WHO failed to adequately obtain, vet and share information in a timely and transparent fashion.
隨著新冠肺炎疫情暴發(fā)，我們非常關(guān)心美國(guó)的慷慨是否物盡其用。現(xiàn)實(shí)是，世衛(wèi)組織未能及時(shí)透明地充分獲取、篩選及分享信息。

If we cannot trust them, if this is what we will receive from the WHO, our country will be forced to find other ways to work with other nations to achieve public health goals.
如果我們不能信任他們，如果這就是我們從世衛(wèi)組織得到的，我國(guó)就不得不尋找其他途徑與其他國(guó)家合作來(lái)達(dá)到公共衛(wèi)生領(lǐng)域的目標(biāo)。

 

聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)古特雷斯對(duì)此回應(yīng)稱(chēng)，世界衛(wèi)生組織必須得到支持。

António Guterres, the UN secretary general, declared now was “not the time to reduce the resources for the operations of the World Health Organization or any other humanitarian organization in the fight against the virus.
古特雷斯表示，疫情當(dāng)前，現(xiàn)在不是減少對(duì)世衛(wèi)組織或者任何一個(gè)人道主義組織資源支持的時(shí)候。

“As I have said before, now is the time for unity and for the international community to work together in solidarity to stop this virus and its shattering consequences,” he said in a statement.
我之前說(shuō)過(guò)，國(guó)際社會(huì)現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該團(tuán)結(jié)一致、攜手聚力，共同阻止這個(gè)病毒及其產(chǎn)生的破壞性后果。

世衛(wèi)組織的資金來(lái)源

WHO’s Programme Budget is financed through a mix of assessed and voluntary contributions. Assessed contributions are the dues countries pay in order to be a member of the Organization. The amount each Member State must pay is calculated relative to the country's wealth and population.
世衛(wèi)組織的規(guī)劃預(yù)算資金來(lái)自評(píng)定會(huì)費(fèi)和自愿捐款。評(píng)定會(huì)費(fèi)是國(guó)家作為本組織會(huì)員國(guó)交納的費(fèi)用。每一會(huì)員國(guó)交納的費(fèi)用按本國(guó)的財(cái)富和人口狀況計(jì)算。

Assessed contributions have declined as an overall percentage of the Programme Budget and have, for several years, accounted for less than one quarter of the organization’s financing. The balance is mobilized through voluntary contributions.
評(píng)定會(huì)費(fèi)占規(guī)劃預(yù)算的總百分比有所減少，近幾年占比還不到該組織資金總額的四分之一。其余資金通過(guò)自愿捐款籌集。

However, assessed contributions remain a key source of financing for the organization, providing a level of predictability, helping to minimize dependence on a narrow donor base, and allowing resources to be aligned to the Programme Budget.
但評(píng)定會(huì)費(fèi)仍是該組織資金的一個(gè)主要來(lái)源，它提供了一定程度的可預(yù)測(cè)性，有助于降低對(duì)少量捐助方的依賴(lài)，使資源水平能夠與規(guī)劃預(yù)算保持一致。

WHO assessed contributions are due and payable as of 1 January from all WHO Member States and Associate Members (currently 194 Member States and 2 Associate Members).
世衛(wèi)組織各會(huì)員國(guó)和準(zhǔn)會(huì)員（目前共有194個(gè)會(huì)員國(guó)和兩個(gè)準(zhǔn)會(huì)員）需于1月1日繳付世衛(wèi)組織評(píng)定會(huì)費(fèi)。

Where the total annual assessed contribution for a Member State is $200,000 or greater, that Member's contributions are assessed half in United States dollar and half in Swiss francs, otherwise, contributions are assessed in United States dollars only.
如會(huì)員國(guó)年評(píng)定會(huì)費(fèi)總額為20萬(wàn)美元或更多，則會(huì)費(fèi)一半按美元評(píng)定，一半按瑞士法郎評(píng)定。如會(huì)員國(guó)年評(píng)定會(huì)費(fèi)總額低于20萬(wàn)美元，會(huì)費(fèi)應(yīng)全部按美元評(píng)定。

The US is the WHO's biggest funder, providing $400m last year - just under 15% of its total budget.
美國(guó)是世衛(wèi)組織最大的資金提供方，去年提供了4億美元的資金支持，占該組織總預(yù)算近15%。

The organization launched an appeal in March for $675m to help fight the pandemic.
上個(gè)月，世衛(wèi)組織曾發(fā)起捐款呼吁，希望能為抗擊新冠肺炎疫情籌集6.75億美元的資金。

對(duì)于特朗普關(guān)于世衛(wèi)組織沒(méi)有及時(shí)分享疫情信息的指責(zé)，美國(guó)媒體做了時(shí)間線(xiàn)的梳理。

CNBC報(bào)道稱(chēng)：

WHO started sounding the alarm on the outbreak of a new coronavirus in China, in mid-January, designating the now Covid-19 pandemic as a global health emergency on Jan 30 when there were just 8,200 cases in 18 countries across the world.
世衛(wèi)組織1月中旬開(kāi)始發(fā)出警報(bào)，稱(chēng)一種新型冠狀病毒疫情在中國(guó)暴發(fā)，1月30日就宣布如今被稱(chēng)為新冠肺炎大流行病的疫情為國(guó)際關(guān)注的突發(fā)公共衛(wèi)生事件，當(dāng)時(shí)全球只有18個(gè)國(guó)家報(bào)告了8200例確診病例。

The WHO’s global emergency declaration on Jan 30 was nearly a month before Trump tweeted that “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA” and six weeks before he declared a national emergency on March 13.
1月30日，世衛(wèi)組織宣布國(guó)際關(guān)注的突發(fā)公共衛(wèi)生事件，過(guò)了將近一個(gè)月，特朗普還在發(fā)推特說(shuō)，“美國(guó)把新冠病毒控制得很好”，過(guò)了6個(gè)星期，他才在3月13日宣布美國(guó)進(jìn)入國(guó)家緊急狀態(tài)。

Two days earlier, on March 11, WHO officials declared the outbreak a pandemic, when there were just 121,000 global cases.
在此兩天前，3月11日，世衛(wèi)組織官員宣布新冠肺炎疫情全球大流行，當(dāng)時(shí)全球只有12.1萬(wàn)病例。

包機(jī) charter flights

民航局4月15日介紹，國(guó)際客運(yùn)航班調(diào)整以來(lái)，平均每天入境旅客維持在兩三千人左右。此外，疫情發(fā)生以來(lái)，民航局安排臨時(shí)航班（包機(jī)）赴疫情嚴(yán)重國(guó)家接回中國(guó)公民。

Sixteen Chinese charter planes flew to Iran, Italy, Britain, the United States and Spain from March 4 to April 13, bringing back home 2,744 Chinese, including 1,449 students studying abroad, Xiong Jie, spokesperson for the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), said at an online press conference.
民航局新聞發(fā)言人熊杰在網(wǎng)絡(luò)發(fā)布會(huì)上表示，3月4日至4月13日，民航局共安排16架次包機(jī)協(xié)助在伊朗、意大利、英國(guó)、美國(guó)、西班牙的2744名中國(guó)公民回國(guó)，其中留學(xué)生1449名。

【單詞講解】

Charter這個(gè)詞在表示“包租、租用”之意時(shí)既可以用作動(dòng)詞，也可以用作形容詞，比如：They chartered a boat for deep-sea fishing.或者The charter boat is used for deep-sea fishing.（他們包了一條船用來(lái)深海捕魚(yú)。）所以，我們這里說(shuō)到的“包機(jī)”用charter plane/flight或chartered plane/flight都是可以的。

未來(lái)幾周，民航局將根據(jù)國(guó)務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制部署，及時(shí)啟動(dòng)重大航空運(yùn)輸保障機(jī)制。

按照國(guó)務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制的具體部署，執(zhí)行的重大運(yùn)輸任務(wù)主要包括安排臨時(shí)航班（包機(jī)）赴疫情嚴(yán)重國(guó)家接回中國(guó)公民任務(wù)（ bring Chinese studying or living abroad back home）、援外醫(yī)療專(zhuān)家組（chartered flights to send medical experts to countries hit hard by COVID-19）和相關(guān)省份聯(lián)合工作組包機(jī)任務(wù)和援非物資運(yùn)輸任務(wù)（send medical materials to African countries）三方面。

The CAAC will provide convenience to overseas students in countries severely affected by the virus and who are in difficulties to "help them return home in a step-by-step and orderly fashion.
民航局將按照逐步、有序的方式，對(duì)疫情嚴(yán)重國(guó)家、確有困難急需回國(guó)的留學(xué)人員回國(guó)提供便利。

Data showed that as of Tuesday, China had sent a total of 575 charter flights carrying 134 medical professionals and working staff and 9,544 tons of anti-epidemic supplies to 64 countries including the United States, Italy and Japan to help them combat the virus.
數(shù)據(jù)顯示，截至4月14日，共執(zhí)行相關(guān)客、貨包機(jī)任務(wù)575架次，運(yùn)送134名援外醫(yī)療專(zhuān)家組和聯(lián)合工作組人員，運(yùn)輸抗疫物資9544噸，涉及美國(guó)、意大利、日本等64個(gè)國(guó)家。

On April 5, the administration arranged for a chartered flight to transport 37.6 tons of medical supplies to 18 countries in central and western Africa.
4月5日，民航局安排一架次包機(jī)運(yùn)送援助中西非18個(gè)國(guó)家的37.6噸物資。

消費(fèi)券 coupons

為活躍消費(fèi)市場(chǎng)，從4月19日起，武漢市人民政府將陸續(xù)向全體在漢人員投放5億元的“武漢消費(fèi)券”，以支持全市商貿(mào)和文旅行業(yè)復(fù)工、復(fù)產(chǎn)、復(fù)市。

The municipal government of Wuhan will hand out the vouchers weekly via the online platforms of Alibaba, Meituan Dianping and Tencent. The above three e-commerce giants will also offer their own coupons worth a total of 1.8 billion yuan, which may be used together with the government-issued vouchers. The first stage of distribution will be from April 19 to May 31, and the second stage from June 1 to July 31.
“武漢消費(fèi)券”將在阿里巴巴、美團(tuán)點(diǎn)評(píng)、騰訊等3家企業(yè)自有線(xiàn)上平臺(tái)上按周投放，總體投放分兩期執(zhí)行。其中，第一期為4月19日至5月31日，第二期為6月1日至7月31日。阿里巴巴、美團(tuán)點(diǎn)評(píng)、騰訊等3家企業(yè)還匹配了總價(jià)值約18億元的消費(fèi)券，消費(fèi)者可將“武漢消費(fèi)券”與3家企業(yè)的消費(fèi)券疊加使用。

【單詞講解】

這里說(shuō)到“消費(fèi)券”時(shí)用了voucher和coupon兩個(gè)詞，根據(jù)《劍橋英語(yǔ)詞典》的解釋?zhuān)瑅oucher指的是a piece of paper that can be used to pay for particular goods or services or that allows you to pay less than the usual price for them（可以直接用來(lái)購(gòu)買(mǎi)或者以低于定價(jià)的金額購(gòu)買(mǎi)特定商品或服務(wù)的紙質(zhì)憑證），coupon是：a piece of paper that can be used to get something without paying for it, or at a reduced price（可以免費(fèi)或者以折扣價(jià)格獲得某物的紙質(zhì)憑證）。從這個(gè)解釋來(lái)看，二者意思很接近，基本可以互相替換使用。

如果詳細(xì)區(qū)分一下的話(huà)，coupon多指“優(yōu)惠券”，比如，快餐店推出的15元午餐券、第二杯半價(jià)的冷飲券等，消費(fèi)者拿著這種券去消費(fèi)的時(shí)候，就可以券上的金額購(gòu)買(mǎi)對(duì)應(yīng)的產(chǎn)品。而voucher多指“代金券”，比如，餐廳推出的消費(fèi)滿(mǎn)300元送50元代金券，下次消費(fèi)時(shí)，這50元代金券就可以直接在結(jié)賬時(shí)使用。

首期“武漢消費(fèi)券”根據(jù)不同消費(fèi)種類(lèi)設(shè)置不同面額（face value）。

餐飲消費(fèi)券和超市（便利店）消費(fèi)券包含10元和20元兩種面額，商場(chǎng)消費(fèi)券和文體旅游消費(fèi)券包含50元和80元兩種面額。

Consumers will be able to use the vouchers for offline payments in restaurants, shopping malls, supermarkets, convenience stores and cultural and tourist sites.
消費(fèi)者可在餐館、商場(chǎng)、超市、便利店以及文化旅游點(diǎn)線(xiàn)下消費(fèi)時(shí)使用消費(fèi)券。

隨著國(guó)內(nèi)新冠肺炎疫情得到控制，各地為了擴(kuò)大居民消費(fèi)，促進(jìn)消費(fèi)回補(bǔ)和潛力釋放陸續(xù)發(fā)放消費(fèi)券。

So far, more than 20 provinces and cities in China have launched voucher campaigns, worth over 5.6 billion yuan.
到目前為止，國(guó)內(nèi)已有20多個(gè)省市發(fā)放了價(jià)值超過(guò)56億元的消費(fèi)券。

A survey conducted by Alipay shows that over 10 million businesses have benefited from the nationwide voucher campaigns, with over 90 percent of them being micro, small and medium-sized businesses.
支付寶調(diào)查顯示，有1000多萬(wàn)家企業(yè)從全國(guó)各地的消費(fèi)券活動(dòng)中受益，其中90%以上為中小微企業(yè)。

“未見(jiàn)異?！苯】禒顟B(tài) health status of "no sign of abnormality"

Beijing will allow commuters from the neighboring regions of Hebei province and Tianjin to apply for the health status of "no sign of abnormality" in its health mini-program to facilitate their commute, said Li Sufang, deputy head of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform.
北京市發(fā)展改革委副主任李素芳表示，本市及津冀地區(qū)往返人員可以通過(guò)“北京健康寶”小程序申請(qǐng)“未見(jiàn)異?！】禒顟B(tài)”，為其出行提供便利。

近日，依托國(guó)家政務(wù)服務(wù)平臺(tái)，北京健康寶在原有功能基礎(chǔ)上，拓展完成了京津冀往返、商務(wù)出行及入境進(jìn)京等功能。

Those who will be granted the status of "no sign of abnormality" should have stayed in low-risk areas in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region for the last 14 days, are not confirmed cases, suspected cases, close contacts or silent carriers recorded by national or local health aothorities, and not under home-based or concentrated observation.
近14日駐留地為京津冀低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)地區(qū)的人員，且不屬于國(guó)家或北京市衛(wèi)健部門(mén)掌握的確診、疑似、密接、無(wú)癥狀感染人員，及不在北京市居家或集中隔離的人員，可獲得“未見(jiàn)異?！苯】禒顟B(tài)。

獲得“未見(jiàn)異?！苯】禒顟B(tài)的，入住酒店期間，可憑此在多場(chǎng)景有效使用。

在便利商務(wù)出行方面，天津、河北以外省市低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)地區(qū)來(lái)京出差人員，按照北京市酒店入住管理的相關(guān)措施，持有7日內(nèi)核酸檢測(cè)陰性證明（negative result of nucleic acid test within 7 days），或在酒店進(jìn)行核酸檢測(cè)呈陰性并接受酒店健康管理，入住酒店后，依據(jù)酒店入住登記信息，可通過(guò)“健康寶”申請(qǐng)健康狀態(tài)。

穩(wěn)就業(yè) ensure employment

4月21日，人社部舉行一季度新聞發(fā)布會(huì)，介紹了一季度人力資源和社會(huì)保障工作進(jìn)展情況。

To offset COVID-19's impact on the job market, China has taken measures to ensure employment and promote work resumption, according to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MHRSS).
人社部表示，為了對(duì)沖新冠肺炎疫情對(duì)就業(yè)市場(chǎng)的影響，我國(guó)采取了一系列措施穩(wěn)定就業(yè)，推進(jìn)復(fù)工復(fù)產(chǎn)。

一是拓渠道。全面推進(jìn)復(fù)工復(fù)產(chǎn)，加快恢復(fù)和穩(wěn)定就業(yè)。

In the first quarter of 2020, the ministry has helped over 10,000 central and local key enterprises recruit nearly 500,000 people to ensure the orderly production of medical supplies and daily necessities.

二是穩(wěn)崗位。打出了“免減緩返補(bǔ)”的援企穩(wěn)崗擴(kuò)就業(yè)政策組合拳。

The ministry exempted employers from 232 billion yuan social security fees by the end of March to reduce labor costs, and handed back another 38.8 billion yuan for the employers' portion of jobless benefits to 3.02 million businesses that didn't lay off workers. Nearly 10 billion yuan were given out in a separate move to encourage employers to hire unemployed people.

The ministry will further expand employment channels and enhance online hiring services for college graduates, whose number is expected to hit a record 8.74 million this year.
人社部將進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)展高校畢業(yè)生就業(yè)渠道，推動(dòng)在線(xiàn)招聘服務(wù)。今年我國(guó)高校畢業(yè)生為874萬(wàn)，再創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄。

天問(wèn)一號(hào) Tianwen-1

4月24日，國(guó)家航天局在2020年中國(guó)航天日線(xiàn)上啟動(dòng)儀式上公布：中國(guó)行星探測(cè)任務(wù)（planetary exploration missions）被命名為“天問(wèn)（Tianwen）系列”，首次火星探測(cè)任務(wù)（first Mars exploration mission）被命名為“天問(wèn)一號(hào)”，后續(xù)行星任務(wù)依次編號(hào)。

國(guó)家航天局總工程師葛小春介紹，

The name comes from the long poem "Tianwen," meaning Heavenly Questions or Questions to Heaven, written by Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC), one of the greatest poets of ancient China.
“天問(wèn)”來(lái)自中國(guó)偉大詩(shī)人屈原的長(zhǎng)詩(shī)《天問(wèn)》。

移動(dòng)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)接入流量 mobile data traffic

在國(guó)務(wù)院聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制4月25日舉辦的新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上，工業(yè)與信息化部信息技術(shù)發(fā)展司一級(jí)巡視員李穎透露，今年3月戶(hù)均移動(dòng)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)接入流量達(dá)到近12月以來(lái)的最高點(diǎn)。

In the first quarter of 2020, China's mobile data traffic consumption soared 39.3 percent from the same period of last year, Li told the press conference. In March alone, the average household usage of mobile traffic reached 9.5 GB, the highest level in almost a year, reflecting the rapid growth of information consumption, Li added.

【單詞講解】

Traffic這個(gè)詞可做名詞或動(dòng)詞使用，用法很多，不過(guò)大多數(shù)都跟人員、物品、信息、交通工具等的運(yùn)送、流動(dòng)有關(guān)，比如：上班路上遭遇“堵車(chē)”可以直接說(shuō)I am stuck in traffic，飯店的客流量可以說(shuō)restaurant traffic，法律打擊的“毒品交易”則是drug traffic。在信息技術(shù)領(lǐng)域，traffic指的是：the information or signals transmitted over a communications system（通過(guò)一個(gè)通信系統(tǒng)傳輸?shù)男畔⒒蛐盘?hào)），我們一般稱(chēng)為“流量”。

Tourists are asked to pay close attention to the situation of epidemic risks released by local authorities and the latest epidemic prevention and control measures of their destination, according to a statement on the official website of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
文旅部官網(wǎng)發(fā)布的提示指出，游客要密切關(guān)注各地疫情防控部門(mén)發(fā)布的疫情風(fēng)險(xiǎn)情況，了解目的地最新疫情防控政策。

Tourists are urged to carry out self-protection measures including wearing masks and washing their hands frequently, as well as keeping their distance from others while taking transportation and visiting parks. The use of serving chopsticks and spoons during meals is also recommended, the statement said.
游客要做好自我防護(hù)，戴口罩、勤洗手，在乘坐交通工具、入園游覽時(shí)，自覺(jué)與其他游客保持間距。就餐時(shí)使用公筷公勺。

提示同時(shí)要求游客避免扎堆，錯(cuò)峰出游。

The statement also asked tourists to learn in advance about ticket reservations and other measures of scenic spots and devise their itineraries to avoid peak times.
提示建議游客提前了解景點(diǎn)的門(mén)票預(yù)約等措施，間隔入園、錯(cuò)峰旅游。

文旅部提醒游客，自覺(jué)遵守旅游目的地和景區(qū)疫情防控制度，接受測(cè)量體溫（take temperature）、查驗(yàn)健康碼（check health QR code）、分時(shí)限流、保持間距（social distancing）等要求，對(duì)于由此產(chǎn)生的排隊(duì)等待給予充分理解。

景區(qū)要強(qiáng)化流量管理，嚴(yán)防人員聚集。游客需提前預(yù)約，且建議分時(shí)段游覽。

零號(hào)病人 patient zero

Chinese scientists said on Monday that it is very unlikely the novel coronavirus was man-made, and finding patient zero is a formidable task that requires global collaboration to succeed.
中國(guó)科學(xué)家4月27日表示，新冠病毒是人造的可能性很低，追溯“零號(hào)病人”難度很大，需要全球各國(guó)攜手展開(kāi)工作。

【名詞解釋】

“零號(hào)病人（patient zero）”往往用來(lái)指稱(chēng)第一個(gè)受感染的流行病患者（the first person infected with the virus in an epidemic）。確認(rèn)“零號(hào)病人”，對(duì)于病毒溯源和疫情防控有著重要價(jià)值。

中國(guó)醫(yī)學(xué)科學(xué)院病原生物學(xué)研究所所長(zhǎng)金奇說(shuō)，

Finding the first infected case is an "extremely difficult scientific problem that requires a great amount of interdisciplinary research". Scientists have yet to find patient zero for the 1918 influenza pandemic, HIV or the H1N1 influenza in 2009.
追溯“零號(hào)病人”是“非常難的科學(xué)問(wèn)題，需要大量的工作，多學(xué)科交叉”。1918年大流感、艾滋病以及2009年暴發(fā)的H1N1流感等大規(guī)模傳染病都沒(méi)有找到明確的“零號(hào)病人”。

中國(guó)疾控中心病毒病預(yù)防控制所學(xué)者劉培培表示，

The increased number of people with COVID-19 antibodies, as well as the existence of asymptomatic patients, are two main obstacles in finding patient zero.
有新冠肺炎抗體的人數(shù)增加以及無(wú)癥狀感染者的存在是追溯“零號(hào)病人”的兩個(gè)主要障礙。

If patient zero is asymptomatic or has very mild symptoms, he or she may not have seen a doctor and left a medical record.
如果“零號(hào)病人”為無(wú)癥狀或非常輕微的癥狀，那可能沒(méi)有去就醫(yī)，沒(méi)有留下就診記錄。

China and many other countries are also looking for patient zero. He said he hopes countries can work together to tackle this challenging task.
中國(guó)和很多其他國(guó)家都在尋找“零號(hào)病人”，他希望各國(guó)能夠攜手合作應(yīng)對(duì)這個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。

收費(fèi)公路 toll roads

交通運(yùn)輸部4月28日發(fā)布關(guān)于恢復(fù)收費(fèi)公路收費(fèi)的公告。

China's Ministry of Transport announced to restore all tolls across the country from May 6. The move is valid for all toll roads nationwide, including bridges and tunnels, the ministry said in a notice, adding that given vehicles approved by law will continue to be exempted from tolls.
交通運(yùn)輸部發(fā)布公告，自2020年5月6日零時(shí)起，全國(guó)收費(fèi)公路恢復(fù)收費(fèi)（含收費(fèi)橋梁和隧道）。與此同時(shí)，繼續(xù)落實(shí)法定免費(fèi)通行政策。

【單詞講解】

Toll這個(gè)詞可以直接表示“（道路、橋梁）通行費(fèi)”，所以，沒(méi)有必要說(shuō)toll fee，“收費(fèi)站”就可以用toll gate、toll booth表示，咱們國(guó)家一些法定節(jié)假日期間小型車(chē)輛高速公路免費(fèi)通行則可以說(shuō)Most expressways in the country are going toll free for passenger cars with fewer than seven seats during the holiday period. 此外，在有關(guān)災(zāi)難事故的新聞報(bào)道中見(jiàn)到的toll則表示“（傷亡）人數(shù)”，比如death toll（死亡人數(shù)）、the toll of dead and injured mounted（傷亡人數(shù)增加）。

符合《收費(fèi)公路管理?xiàng)l例》及相關(guān)規(guī)定的軍隊(duì)車(chē)輛（含武警部隊(duì)車(chē)輛）（military vehicles），公安機(jī)關(guān)在轄區(qū)內(nèi)收費(fèi)公路上處理交通事故、執(zhí)行正常巡邏任務(wù)和處置突發(fā)事件的統(tǒng)一標(biāo)志的制式警車(chē)（police vehicles），懸掛應(yīng)急救援專(zhuān)用號(hào)牌的國(guó)家綜合性消防救援車(chē)輛（fire and rescue vehicles），經(jīng)國(guó)務(wù)院交通主管部門(mén)或者省、自治區(qū)、直轄市人民政府批準(zhǔn)執(zhí)行搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)任務(wù)的車(chē)輛，鮮活農(nóng)產(chǎn)品運(yùn)輸車(chē)輛（vehicles transporting fresh agricultural products），進(jìn)行跨區(qū)作業(yè)的聯(lián)合收割機(jī)和運(yùn)輸聯(lián)合收割機(jī)（包括插秧機(jī)）的車(chē)輛，繼續(xù)享受免收車(chē)輛通行費(fèi)政策。

此外，保障疫情防控應(yīng)急運(yùn)輸車(chē)輛優(yōu)先便捷通行。

Special needs and fast passes will be set up at expressway toll booths, and guidance of on-site traffic order will be strengthened.
高速公路收費(fèi)站設(shè)置專(zhuān)用快捷通道，加強(qiáng)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)通行秩序引導(dǎo)維護(hù)。
