  AEIS单词备考就从每天做的词汇练习、语法练习、完型练习中的不认识的词汇里面积累,这些才是考试中,概率最大的词。我们要抓大放小。

  所以,一定要先准备一个单词积累的小笔记本,记上每一个词,甚至是出自哪一道题,这样可以方便复习的时候参考哦!

  今天我们继续学习关于疫情事件中的英语表达。

  流行病 ≠ popular disease

  popular /ˈpɑːpjələr/

  adj. 收人欢迎的;喜爱的;当红的;通俗的

  popular 是一个偏向褒义的词,流行起来的前提是大家都喜欢的。

  比如:

  popular music 流行音乐

  popular game 受大众喜欢的游戏

  a popular singer 一个受欢迎的歌手

  disease (疾病)是一种大家都敬而远之的东西,自然不能用popular修饰。

  关于“流行病”该怎么翻译,我们先看看世卫组织的声明

  For the first time, the World Health Organization called the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, a pandemic.

  世界卫生组织首次称新型冠状病毒COVID-19为全球大流行疾病。

  pandemic/pænˈdem.ɪk/

  adj.(of a disease) existing in almost all of an area or in almost all of a group of people, animals, or plants

  (疾病)大规模流行的,广泛蔓延的

AEIS积累:新冠肺炎疫情已具有大流行特征,“流行病” 可不是 popular disease!

  例:

  In some parts of the world malaria is still pandemic.

  在世界上一些地区疟疾仍在大规模流行。

  n.a pandemic disease

  大流行病

  例:

  a pandemic of influenza

  流感大爆发

  an influenza pandemic

  流感大爆发

  To understand what is apandemic, we have to talk about what anoutbreak, anepidemicand apandemicmean.

  为了理解什么是pandemic,我们必须讨论outbreak、epidemic和pandemic的意思是什么。

  outbreak

  n. a time when something suddenly begins, especially a disease or something elsedangerous or unpleasant

  (尤指疾病、危险或不快之事的)发作,暴发,突然发生

  例:

  an outbreak of cholera/food poisoning/rioting/war

  霍乱/食物中毒/骚乱/战争的暴发

  An outbreak occurs when there is an increase, often suddenly, of the number of cases of that disease, above the usual expected number of cases in a particular area.

  当该疾病的病例数突然增加,超过某一特定地区通常预期的病例数时,就会发生outbreak。

  epidemic/epɪ demɪk/

  n.the appearance of a particular disease in a large number of people at the same time

  (疾病的)流行,传染

  例:

  a flu epidemic

  流感的传播

  An outbreak is the term used for a more limited area, and epidemic is used for larger, more widespread populations. Epidemics are usually confined to one city or region, or even a country.

  Outbreak指向的区域范围更小,而epidemic则指范围更广、人口更多的地区。Epidemic通常限于一个城市或地区,甚至一个国家。

  A pandemic is an epidemic that has spread over several countries and continents, and affects a large group of people.

  Pandemic是一种已经蔓延到几个国家和大洲,并影响到一大群人的流行病。
