83岁教皇咳嗽严重，取消多项活动，官方没有公布病因

A coughing Pope Francis told pilgrims gathered for the traditional Sunday blessing that he is canceling his participation at a week-long spiritual retreat in the Roman countryside because of a cold.

教皇在周日传统布道会上咳嗽着向教徒宣布，因感冒他不能参加在罗马近郊举办的为期一周的精神静修活动。

It is the first time in his seven-year papacy that he has missed the spiritual exercises that he initiated early in his pontificate to mark the start of each Lenten season. Such retreats are typical Jesuits, an order to which he belongs.

这是他出任教皇七年来首次缺席该活动，这一活动是他刚出任教皇时发起的，以庆祝每一个四旬斋季节（即大斋节）的开始。这种静修活动是典型的耶稣会士的活动，他就属于这一团体。

The 83-year-old pontiff, who lost part of a lung to a respiratory illness as a young man, has canceled several official engagements this week as he battled an apparent cold.

83岁的教皇年轻时患过呼吸系统疾病，肺部切除了一部分，本周因感冒症状取消了几个官方活动。

His weekly appearance Sunday to pilgrims from a window high above St. Peter’s Square was the first time he has been seen publicly since Ash Wednesday, when he was seen coughing and blowing his nose during Mass.

他周日参加活动时在圣彼得广场上方高高的窗边与教徒见面，这还是“圣灰星期三”（复活节前的第七个星期三）过后他首次露面。弥撒期间他不停咳嗽、擤鼻涕。

Francis paused twice to cough Sunday while addressing the faithful. At the end, he asked for prayers for the spiritual retreat, adding “unfortunately a cold prevents me from participating this year. I will be following the meditation from here.”

教皇周日对教众讲话时因为咳嗽而暂停两次。最后他让大家为精神静修祷告，还说“很不幸，我感冒了，今年不能参加了。我会在这里跟大家一起冥想。”

The Vatican has described Francis condition as “a slight illness,” without giving other details. Francis’ illness, though, has come amid general alarm in Italy over the coronavirus outbreak, which has infected more than 1,100 people, mostly in northern Italy.

梵蒂冈说教皇身体抱恙，但没做出详细说明。教皇发病正值意大利爆发冠状病毒，大家此时都很警惕。疫情已导致超过1,100人感染，其中大多数病例都在意大利北部。
