Infectious diseases, such as malaria and flu, have long been part of human history. The feature article below describes the fight against a certain type of infectious disease.Before you read the article, think about the following questions:
What do you know about infectious diseases
I know that infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Once inside the body, they can cause a range of symptoms from mild to severe.
Some infectious diseases can be passed from person to person.Some are transmitted by insects or other animals. One may get others by consuming contaminated food or water or being exposed to organisms in the environment. I also know that Covid-19 and malaria are both infectious diseases that can have significant impacts on human life.
con·tam·in·ate /k n t m ne t/ 污染;弄脏;玷污,毒害,腐蚀（人的思想或品德）
What can you personally do to fight infectious diseases
I can learn more about various types of infectious diseases and their preventive measures, and keep people around me informed too. I can also ensure that I practise good hygiene, such as washing my hands regularly, avoiding close contact with people who are infected, and wearing a face mask in public places.
informed/ n f md/见多识广的; 了解情况的
hy·giene / ha d i n/ 卫生
Fighting the hidden enemy
An enemy appeared without warning, attacking its unsuspecting victims with efficiency.This silent and invisible enemy swiftly moved through communities and secretly crossed borders. The world soon learnt that the enemy we faced was Covid-19.一个敌人毫无征兆地出现，利落地对毫无防备的人们发起攻击。这个沉默而隐形的敌人在社区中快速穿行，悄然跨越国界。全世界很快就知道了，我们面对的敌人就是新型冠状病毒感染。
hidden/ h d n/隐形的,隐秘的;不易察觉的,潜在的
un·sus·pect·ing / ns spekt / 毫不怀疑的;无危险意识的;无戒备心的
Covid-19 is caused by a new strain of coronavirus. Once entering the body, the virus multiplies inside the cell quickly and infects neighbouring mon symptoms can include fever, tiredness, a dry cough, a headache and loss of taste or smell. 新型冠状病毒感染是由一种新型冠状病毒引起的。这种病毒一旦进入人体，就会在细胞内迅速繁殖，然后感染邻近细胞。常见症状包括发热、乏力、干咳、头痛、味觉或嗅觉丧失等。
strain（动、植物的）系，品系，品种；（疾病的）类型
neigh·bour·ing / ne b r / 邻近的；附近的；毗邻的
However,in some cases, the virus causes the body’s own immune system to overreact, resulting in the body killing its own healthy cells. Consequently, the disease can become worse, causing damage to the body’s organs and tissues.
但在某些情况下，病毒还会导致人体免疫系统发生过激反应，使得人体杀死自身的健康细胞。于是，病情会进一步恶化，造成器官和组织损伤。
over·react (to sth)/ v ri kt/ 反应过激，反应过火（尤指对不愉快的事情）
Covid-19 is a highly infectious disease that can be transmitted easily and swiftly from person to person. This typically happens when people take in respiratory droplets and particles from an infected person. They can also catch Covid-19 by touching a surface or an object contaminated with the virus, and then touching their own mouth, nose or
eyes.新型冠状病毒感染传染性很强，容易在人与人之间快速传播。这一般发生在人们吸入了感染者的呼吸道飞沫和微粒时。此外，人们用手摸过被病毒污染的物体表面，再触摸口鼻或眼睛，也会导致新型冠状病毒感染。
con·tam·in·ate sth (with sth)/k n t m ne t/ 污染；弄脏
Research shows that there are certain settings that allow the virus to spread more easily. For instance, it favours cool, dry conditions and crowded indoor spaces with poor
ventilation. △What makes this disease even more dangerous is that infected people who show no symptoms may become unknowing carriers and spreaders of the virus.研究表明，某些环境会让病毒更易传播。例如，病毒喜欢凉爽、干燥的地方，以及拥挤且通风不良的室内空间。无症状感染者可能会在不知不觉中携带和传播病毒，这进一步增加了这种疾病的危险性。
set·ting/ set / 环境；背景
un·know·ing / n n /没意识到的；未察觉的；无知的
In early 2020, the threat posed by Covid-19 came to be fully recognized on a global scale. It spread rapidly across the world, affecting millions of people. More dangerously, new and even more infectious variants of the virus, such as the Delta and Omicron variants, gradually began to emerge in various parts of the world, presenting an increased threat to the health of the world’s population.2020 年初，全球开始对新型冠状病毒感染带来的威胁有了充分认识。它在世界各地迅速传播，感染了数百万人。更危险的是，世界各个地区逐渐开始出现德尔塔和奥密克戎等病毒新变种，它们传播力更强，对全世界人民的健康构成更加严重的威胁。
present引起，造成
Fortunately, the world pulled together to beat this silent and invisible enemy.Governments developed and pursued clear policies in response to the sudden outbreak of the pandemic. For example, the Chinese government constantly followed the principle of “putting the people and their lives above all else”. 幸运的是，全世界人民戮力同心，共同迎战这个沉默而隐形的敌人。面对突如其来的疫情，各国政府都制定并实行了明确的应对政策。比如，中国政府始终坚持“人民至上、生命至上”的原则。
pull together齐心协力；通力合作
pur·sue /p sju / 追求；致力于；执行；贯彻
Governments also joined forces with leading research institutes so that vaccines could be developed, produced,distributed and administered in record time. Doctors and nurses worked round the clock and went wherever they were needed, risking their own lives to tirelessly treat and care for patients. 各国政府还与领先的研究机构联手，以便以最快的速度研发、生产、分发和注射疫苗。医护人员夜以继日，哪里需要就奔赴哪里，甘冒生命危险，不知疲倦地救治和护理病人。

without/beyond doubt毫无疑问；的确
hu·man·kind / hju m n ka nd/ （统称）人；人类

However, we can live more safely if we act wisely.

其次，在公共场所时，可佩戴口罩以避免感染病毒。第三，可通过接种疫苗来提升人体对特定传染病的免疫力。比如，每年打一次流感疫苗，可以降低感染流感的风险。
build sth up增高;加强;创建;开发
im·mun·ity (to sth)/(against sth)免疫力

We need to support each other so that we can march confidently, arm in arm, into a better and more secure future.抗击传染病的漫长历史表明我们生活在人类命运共同体之中。只有团结协作，人人肩负起各自的责任，才能解决国家和全球的问题。只有互帮互助，我们才能满怀信心地携手迈向更美好、更安全的未来。
