1月熱詞：

新冠肺炎疫情 COVID-19 pandemic

2020年1月，湖北省武漢市等多個地區(qū)發(fā)生新型冠狀病毒感染的肺炎疫情。

冠狀病毒（coronavirus）是一類主要引起呼吸道、腸道疾病（respiratory and intestinal diseases）的病原體。這類病毒顆粒的表面有許多規(guī)則排列的突起（a fringe of bulbous surface projections），整個病毒顆粒就像一頂?shù)弁醯幕使冢╮oyal crown），因此得名“冠狀病毒”。冠狀病毒除人類以外，還可感染豬、牛、貓、犬、貂、駱駝、蝙蝠、老鼠、刺猬等多種哺乳動物以及多種鳥類（mammals and birds）。

【關于新型冠狀病毒】

2019-nCoV, as it's been labelled, is understood to be a new strain of coronavirus that has not previously been identified in humans.

這種新型冠狀病毒（2019-nCoV）此前未在人類身上發(fā)現(xiàn)過。

Coronaviruses are a broad family of viruses, but only six (the new one would make it seven) are known to infect people.

冠狀病毒是一個龐大的病毒家族，目前已知會感染人類的有六種（新發(fā)現(xiàn)的這種是第七種）。

Scientists believe an animal source is "the most likely primary source" but that some human-to-human transmission has occurred.

科學家認為動物是“最有可能的初始感染源”，不過，也有一些人傳人的病例。

Signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.

感染癥狀包括：呼吸道癥狀，發(fā)燒，咳嗽，呼吸短促，呼吸困難等。
