关于新冠病毒及症状的英文表达，你想了解的一切

A new Chinese coronavirus, a cousin of the SARS virus, has the international community on alert. Since the outbreak began in Wuhan China, in December, the number of people infected and patients who have died keeps climbing.

一种新的中国冠状病毒，是SARS病毒的近亲，引起了国际社会的高度警惕。自去年12月中国武汉爆发疫情以来，感染者和死亡患者人数不断攀升。

So here’s what you need to know about the Coronavirus.

所以你需要知道的是冠状病毒。

What is coronavirus?

新冠状病毒是什么？

Coronavirus: Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses common among many species of animals, including humans. In rare cases, the virus makes a jump from animals to humans and more rare, from person to person. Which is what scientists believe happened in this case.

冠状病毒：冠状病毒是一大类病毒，常见于多种动物，包括人类。在极少数情况下，这种病毒会从动物跳到人类身上，而在人与人之间更为罕见。这就是科学家们所相信的发生在这个案例中的情况。

Coronavirus Symptoms

冠状病毒的症状

Typically, coronavirus symptoms include a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache, fever which can last for several days. For those with a weakened immune system, there is a chance that the virus could cause a lower down and much more serious respiratory tract illness, like pneumonia or bronchitis.

典型的冠状病毒症状包括流鼻涕、咳嗽、喉咙痛，可能是头痛，发烧可以持续几天。对于那些免疫系统弱的人来说，这种病毒有可能引起下呼吸道疾病，如肺炎或支气管炎。

There have only been two other coronaviruses that have been known to be deadly. The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, known as MERS virus, that caused severe respiratory problems, and the CDC estimated that 3 out of 4 of every 10 patients infected with MERS had died.

只有另外两种冠状病毒被认为是致命的。中东呼吸综合征，称为MERS病毒，引起严重的呼吸问题，疾控中心估计，每10名感染MERS的患者中有3人死亡。

Another one is the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS. Now, that had an average death rate of around 10%, with older people being the most vulnerable.

另一种是严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）。现在，平均死亡率在10%左右，老年人是最脆弱的。

How do coronaviruses spread?

冠状病毒是如何传播的？

Viruses can spread from human contact with animals. Scientists think MERS, for example, started in camels, and they suspect that SARS started with civet cats. As for human to human transmission, often it happens when someone is within 3 feet of the infected person. And with this new virus, we don’t know yet when exactly someone becomes contagious, how sick they are when they do. Depending on how virulent the virus is a cough, a sneeze, a handshake could cause an exposure.

病毒可以从人类与动物的接触中传播。例如，科学家认为MERS是从骆驼开始的，他们怀疑SARS是从麝猫开始的。至于人与人之间的传播，通常发生在距离感染者不到3英尺的地方。有了这种新病毒，我们还不知道什么时候会有人传染，他们传染的时候病得有多严重。根据病毒的毒力大小，咳嗽、打喷嚏、握手都可能导致暴露。

Can you prevent it?

你能阻止它吗？

There is no vaccine to protect against this family of viruses. There is no specific treatment for coronaviruses. Most of the time, symptoms are going to go away on their own.

没有疫苗可以预防这类病毒。冠状病毒没有特殊的治疗方法。大多数时候，症状会自行消失。

Those who catch the virus are advised to do the basics, drink plenty of fluids, sleep as much as possible. Symptoms as well can be relieved by taking pain or fever medications, but id they do get worse, it’s recommended to see a doctor.

建议那些感染病毒的人做基本的事情，多喝水，尽可能多睡觉。服用止痛药或退烧药也能缓解症状，但如果症状确实恶化，建议去看医生。你可以通过避开生病的人，避免触摸你的眼睛、鼻子和嘴，当然，也可以用肥皂和水洗手至少20秒来减少感染的风险。
