原文及翻译
Scientists develop a preventive flu shot for people to take as winter begins. This shot is not guaranteed to prevent the flu; scientists can only guess at which virus might be the most dangerous in the upcoming season. The shot protects against only that particular virus.
科学家们研制出一种预防流感的疫苗,供人们在冬季开始时使用。这种疫苗并不能保证能预防流感;科学家们只能猜测哪种病毒在即将到来的季节可能是最危险的。这种疫苗只能预防那种特定的病毒。
For those who do not get the shot, influenza spreads among them easily. It takes only a sneeze, a cough, or a touch. Victims frequently get ill from shaking hands, opening doors, or handling money.
对于那些没有接种疫苗的人来说,流感很容易在他们之间传播。只需打个喷嚏、咳嗽或触摸一下。受害者经常因握手、开门或处理钱而生病。
Most infected people will have a fever, sore throat, and cough, but the symptoms are often mild and last for only a week. For many others, however, symptoms can be so severe and prolonged that victims end up in bed for weeks, or in the hospital, or even in the cemetery.
大多数感染者会发烧、喉咙痛和咳嗽,但症状通常很轻微,只持续一周。然而,对于许多其他人来说,症状可能非常严重和持久,以至于受害者最终在床上躺了数周,或者住院,甚至在墓地里。
