世卫:人类将在2022年战胜新冠疫情

The head of the World Health Organization has said he is optimistic the coronavirus pandemic will be defeated in 2022, provided countries work together to contain its spread.

世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞表示，只要各国联起手来抑制病毒蔓延，他对于人类在2022年战胜新冠疫情充满乐观。

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesu warned against "narrow nationalism and vaccine hoarding" in a new year’s statement.
谭德塞博士在新年寄语中称，要警惕“狭隘的民族主义和疫苗囤积”。

Global COVID-19 cases now stand at 287 million, while nearly 5.5 million have died.
目前全球新冠肺炎病例总数达到了2.87亿，近550万名患者已经丧生。

Coronavirus remains part of daily life: a disease that has shut borders, split families and in some places made it unthinkable to leave the house without carrying a mask.
新冠病毒仍然是日常生活的一部分。疫情导致边境关闭、家人分离，在某些地方，不戴口罩甚至出不了门。

Despite all this, Tedros sounded a positive note in his speech, noting there are now many more tools to treat the disease.
尽管如此，谭德塞博士还是在寄语中表明了积极的态度，并指出如今应对和治疗新冠的手段比以前多很多。

But he warned continuing inequity in vaccine distribution was increasing the risk of the virus evolving.
但是他警告称，疫苗分配中持续的不平等将增加病毒变异的风险。
