There are a handful of human coronavirusesthat are known to be deadly.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome（嚴重急性呼吸綜合征）, alsoknown as SARS, is the other coronavirus that can cause more severe symptoms. Firstidentified in the Guangdong province in southern China, accordingto the WHO, it causes respiratory problems but can also cause diarrhea [ˌdaɪəˈriə]（腹瀉）, fatigue （疲勞）,shortness of breath, respiratory distress （呼吸窘迫） and kidney failure （腎衰）.Depending on the patient's age, the death rate with SARS ranged from0-50% of the cases, with older people being the most vulnerable（易受傷害的）.

Whenit comes to human-to-human transmission of theviruses, often it happens when someone comes into contact with theinfected person's secretions [sɪˈkriːʃ(ə)n]（分泌物）.

causeexposure. The virus can also be transmitted bytouching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth,nose or eyes. Caregivers （護理人員） can sometimes be exposed byhandling a patient's waste, according to the CDC.

C. to change sth. into ordinary language

2.       What are the symptomsof the novel Coronavirus ?

Up tonow, there are no specific medicine for preventing or treating the virus, theWHO said, adding that it is working with partners to help accelerate relatingresearch and development work. "People of all ages" can be infectedwith the novel coronavirus, elder people and people with pre-existing medicalconditions are more like to suffer, the WHO said. The organization advisedpeople to wash hands after contacting with pets, which can help protect them against"various common bacteria that can pass among pets and humans." Chinesehealth authorities said on Monday that it received reports of 2,829 newconfirmed cases of novel coronavirus infection and 57 death on Sunday.

VIII.書面表達

vaccine 疫苗     

infect 傳染；使感染

coronavirus  冠狀病毒

health care worker  醫護人員  

genetic code  基因序列

coronavirus 冠狀病毒，這樣稱呼的原因是這種病毒在顯微鏡下呈冠狀，像一頂王冠。而 “王冠”一詞在拉丁語中是corona 。按西方學術概念名稱使用拉丁語（或古希臘語）的習慣，人們將corona與virus 放在一起構成合成詞coronavirus，即“冠狀病毒”。（virus 一詞也來自拉丁語）

(CNN) — Ateam of scientists in Texas, New York and China are at work on a vaccineagainst the new virus that has infected lots of people worldwide. The NationalInstitutes of Health (NIH) is also working on a vaccine. It will take a fewmonths until the first phase of the clinical trials get underway.

 

這種新型病毒是一種冠狀病毒，與引起SARS（重癥急性呼吸系統綜合征）的病毒屬于同一科。SARS于2002年在亞洲被首次報道，導致700多人死亡。自2012年以來已經導致800多人死亡的中東呼吸綜合征（MERS）也是由一種冠狀病毒引起的。

“Thelesson we’ve learned is coronavirus infections are serious and one of thenewest and biggest global health threats,” said Dr. Peter Hotez, a vaccinescientist in Houston. He added that it’s less challenging to develop a vaccinefor coronaviruses than for other viruses such as HIV or influenza. If a vaccineis developed, he said, health care workers might be among the first to receiveit because they are exposed to infected patients.

 

他說，科學家能夠開始研制不到一個月前才被發現的病毒的疫苗，這是“非凡的”。他將這歸功于中國的研究人員，因為他們迅速地對病毒的基因組進行了排序并公布了結果。他說：“當時的SARS，我們花了將近一年的時間來識別和繪制完整的基因序列。現在我們只用了幾周的時間。”

2. 新型冠狀病毒，你需要知道些啥

This isan outbreak of disease that started in Wuhan, one of the central Chinese cities.It’s caused by a novel corona virus that means it’s brand-new. So new thatactually it doesn’t have a name yet.

What are the symptoms?

癥狀是哪些？

We onlyknow about the more severe cases, which is where people have gone on to developviral pneumonia, and those people obviously end up in hospital, and all thedeaths have been amongst those people.

Where have cases beenconfirmed so far?

目前病例確認在哪里？

… andthose who have died tend actually to have underlying conditions as they say,that they’re frail, they may have heart disease or cancer already, and sothey’re vulnerable. Basically their immune systems are not very robust, andthey’re gong to find it very hard to fight off a virus.

How is this virustransmitted?

這種病毒是如何傳染的？

What treatment isavailable?

有無現成治療方法？

How serious is thisoutbreak compared to others in the past?

和過去相比，這次爆發有多嚴重？

And thatwas largely because nobody had ever seen it before, but also the death rate wasat around 10%. And here so far we’re talking about a death rate of 2%, which isa lot less and it does look as if many of those people actually have hadunderlying health problems, which would make it more likely that they woulddie. They could equally have died of flu, so you have to put it into that context,I think.
