五招對(duì)付豬流感 中英文對(duì)照

1、Swine flu has yet to escalate into a global pandemic, but here's what to do if it does豬流感還沒有升級(jí)為全球性的大規(guī)模流行病，但是如果真的發(fā)生了這種情況，你應(yīng)該按照如下5種方法來做。5 Ways to Protect Yourself (and Others) from Swine Flu面對(duì)豬流感，保護(hù)你自己(以及別人)的5種方法Experts say that the steps you should take to shield yourself from swine flu are not m

2、uch different than those you might take to ward off seasonal flu。專家們說防止豬流感的方法和防止季節(jié)性流感的方法沒有很大的差別。1. Don't touch your face1.不要觸摸你的臉Above all, keep your hands away from your eyes, mouth and nose, all of which serve as pathways for the virus to enter your respiratory tract, says Allison Aiello, an e

3、pidemiologist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health in Ann Arbor。Allison Aiello說，首先，不要用手摸你的眼睛、嘴以及鼻子，這些都容易使病毒進(jìn)入你的呼吸道。Allison Aiello是位于安娜堡的密歇根大學(xué)公共健康學(xué)院(University of Michigan School of Public Health in Ann Arbor)的一名流行病學(xué)專家。2.

5、ecting virus particles," she explains. Soap should therefore be effective against all flu viruses。Aiello說，如果你必須接觸臉的話，那么在這之前，你需要用香皂和熱水搓洗你的手，把你的手指甲以及所有的指甲縫在熱水中洗20到30秒。 Aiello解釋說： “香皂除了能把可能含有病毒顆粒的塵土洗掉外，因?yàn)橄阍碇羞€含有表面活性劑(洗衣粉的主要成分)，它還能破環(huán)保護(hù)病毒顆粒的類脂層?！币蚨阍韺?duì)于所有的流感病毒都是有效的。3.

6、k nearby? Then use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, Aiello advises. About a quarter-size spot, rubbed all over the hands until the sanitizer evaporates (usually 10 to 15 seconds)， should do it. Alcohol can inactivate viruses by destroying the structure of their proteins, she notes。就近沒有洗手池？Aiello建議說，

7、那么就使用含酒精的洗手液。把洗手液到一些到手上，大約25分硬幣那樣的面積，然后搓滿全手，直到洗手液蒸發(fā)掉(通常需10到15秒)，這個(gè)方法一般都奏效。Aiello解釋說，酒精通過破環(huán)病毒蛋白質(zhì)的結(jié)構(gòu)，從而使病毒失去活性。4. Cover your nose and mouth4.遮住你的鼻子和嘴When someone sneezes or coughs, liquid droplets packing flu viruses can travel as far as three feet (one meter) through the air and descend on your nose

8、or mouth, so it's best to maintain at least an arm's-length distance when talking to someone who shows signs of infection, says Louise Dembry, director of epidemiology at YaleNew Haven Hospital in Connecticut. And to protect others, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or s

9、neeze, and clean your hands afterward, she says, noting that viruses can remain infectious for hours, if not longer, when they linger on the skin or other surfaces such as keyboards and subway poles。當(dāng)一個(gè)人打噴嚏或者咳嗽的時(shí)候，含有流感病毒的小液滴能在空氣中傳播3英尺(一米)，從而降落到你的鼻子或者嘴上，所以，來自康涅狄格州紐黑文的耶魯大學(xué)醫(yī)院(YaleNew Haven Hospital in

10、Connecticut)的流行病學(xué)主任Louise Dembry說，當(dāng)和有感染跡象的人交談的時(shí)候，最好保持一臂遠(yuǎn)的距離。另外為了保護(hù)其他人，當(dāng)你自己咳嗽或者打噴嚏的時(shí)候，用紙巾遮住你的嘴和鼻子，打完噴嚏和咳嗽后，需要洗手。當(dāng)病毒停留在皮膚或者其它表面上的時(shí)候，比如鍵盤以及地鐵的扶手柱，病毒在幾個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)，甚至更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間內(nèi)，仍具有傳染力。5. Consider buying a mask in case you need it in the future5.考慮買一個(gè)口罩以防萬一你用得著From press photos, it seems that Mexico's entire popu

Some research suggests that maskseither the surgical variety or respirators called N95's specially designed to filter out water droplets containing viruses

12、reduce the risk of contracting the flu or other respiratory pathogens by as much as 80 percent, but research by Aiello's team suggests that masks do little unless used in conjunction with diligent hand washing。從媒體的圖片上看，好像墨西哥的全國(guó)人民都戴上了手術(shù)口罩，不過根據(jù)Aiello的觀點(diǎn)，口罩對(duì)抑制流感傳播的有效性仍然沒有定論。有些研究表明口罩-不管是手術(shù)用口罩還是名為N95

13、's的專門用于過濾掉含病毒水滴的防毒口罩-能減少感染流感或者其它呼吸性病原體的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)達(dá)80%，但是 Aiello的研究小組的研究表明，如果不經(jīng)常洗手，戴口罩幾乎不起作用。According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is "extremely limited" data on the effectiveness of face masks and respirators for blocking flu spread in communities. The agency

15、 who have respiratory infections (caring for a sick family member, for example)。根據(jù)美國(guó)疾病控制與防治中心(U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)的說法，面罩和防毒口罩對(duì)阻止流感在社區(qū)中傳播的有效性的數(shù)據(jù)“非常有限”。不過，該中心建議，在豬流感傳播已經(jīng)確認(rèn)的地區(qū)，如果我們不能避免“擁擠的環(huán)境或者和其他人緊密接觸”，我們還是要使用面罩和防毒口罩：在擁擠的地方使用面罩，需要與患有呼吸道感染的人近距離接觸時(shí)候戴防毒口罩(比如照顧家庭中的病患)。Vocabulary
