精讲点拨:
1.In the early 19th century,when an outbreak of cholera hit Europe,millions of people died from the disease.
解析:该句为复合句。In the early 19th century,millions of people died from the disease. 是主句;when引导定语从句,修饰先行词the early 19th century。
翻译:在19世纪早期霍乱爆发时,数百万人死于这场疾病。
2.One theory was that bad air caused the disease.Another was that cholera was caused by an infection from germs in food or water.
解析: 两句均为复合句。两个that都引导表语从句。
翻译: 一个理论说坏的气体引发疾病,另一理论则说霍乱是通过食物或水中的细菌感染引起的。

约翰.斯诺战胜“霍乱王”
在英国医生约翰:斯诺向人们展示如何战胜霍乱之前,霍乱曾是世界上最令人怒惧的疾病之一。它可导致严重腹泻、脱水甚至死亡。十九世纪初,霍乱暴发,肆虐欧洲,数百万人丧命。由于当时无人知道如何预防或治疗霍乱,年轻的约翰.斯诺医生很泪丧。后来,他成了一位名医,甚至照料分娩的维多利亚女王。然而,他始终没有放弃彻底根除霍乱的愿望。
关于霍乱的蔓延方式,当时医生大体上有两种截然不同的看法。一种看法是空气污染引发, 另一种看法是食物或饮用水中的细菌感染导致霍乱。斯诺赞同第二种看法。这一看法是正确的,但他仍需要证据。因此,1854年伦敦暴发霍乱时,斯诺便开始调查。他发现霍乱疫情在两条街道上尤为严重,十天内就有500多人死亡。他决心查明原因。
