考点预测+解析

1、"冠状病毒"与"新型冠状病毒"英文怎么说？

coronavirus /kəˈronəvaɪrəs / 冠状病毒

这个词，可分解为两部分：

corona：冠状物 （我们所说的 "日冕" 与 "光圈"，也是这个词）

virus：病毒

【例句1】

Now，the fatal infectious disease caused by "Coronavirus" is called as "Chinese Pneumonia">现在，由于"冠状病毒"所引起的致命性传染病，在网络上被称之为"中国肺炎"。

【例句2】

Before this outbreak, six coronaviruses had been identified in humans. Four caused relatively mild cold-like symptoms while the other two, Sars and Middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers), can be fatal.

此次疫情爆发之前，已知的人类冠状病毒有6种。四种引起相对轻度的类似感冒症状，而另外两种——非典和中东呼吸综合征(MERS)——可能致命。

2、"新型冠状病毒"英文怎么说？

"新型冠状病毒"的英文是 novel coronavirus

这里的 novel 不是"小说"

而是一个形容词，表示"新型的"

比如 a novel feature（新特性）

3、其他常用词汇解析

①fatal /ˈfeɪtl / ：a. 致命的；毁灭性的；灾难性的 （对于目前的状况来看，这的确是很丧的一个词儿！）

②infectious disease/ ɪnˈfekʃəs dɪˈziːz / ：传染病

infectious /ɪnˈfekʃəs /：a.传染的 由 infect （v. 传染；感染）+ ious（形容词后缀）构成

infect / ɪnˈfekt /：v. 传染；感染 由 in （进入，使。。。）+ fect （做） 构成 ——咱可以想一下儿：传染或感染，不正是有害物质或病毒，侵入体内，对健康的肌体做坏事儿——进行破坏吗？

infection / ɪnˈfekʃn /：n. 传染 由 infect + -ion （名词后缀）构成

③pneumonia / nuˈmoʊnɪə / n. 肺炎

这个词，是由 pneumon- （肺）+ -ia （疾病名词后缀）构成

4、冠状病毒的传播途径

①the air by coughing and sneezing

经由空气传播，比如咳嗽、打喷嚏

②close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands

通过人与人之间的近距离接触传播，比如触摸或者握手

③touching an object or surface with the virus>通过触摸物品或感染病毒的用品表面传播，原因在于没洗手就触摸嘴、鼻和眼睛

④rarely, fecal contamination

还有一种比较少见的，就是通过粪便传染

5、如何预防"冠状病毒"

① Clean hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub.

用肥皂或者用含酒精的洗手液洗手。

②Cover nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or flexed elbow.

咳嗽或打喷嚏时，用面巾纸或屈肘捂住口鼻。

③Avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.

避免跟有感冒或流感症状的人密切接触。

疫情相关的书面表达

假定你是李华，你的美国朋友Amy来信询问有关武汉新型冠状病毒（novel coronavirus）的情况。

请你给Amy回信，内容包括：

1. 新型冠状病毒简况；

2. 应对措施；

3. 是否有信心战胜病毒

【参考范文】

Dear Amy,

It is so considerate of you to receive your letter inquiring about novel cononavirus in wuhan. I am writing to tell you about this.

Since the outbreak of an infectious disease in wuhan in December 2019, the Chinese government has decisively closed down the city to prevent the spread of the disease. At the same time, although cases have been found throughout the country, the Chinese people actively face it, together with wuhan to fight the epidemic.

At this particular time, we should go out as little as possible, isolated. If we go out, we must wear protective masks to prevent ourselves from getting infected. In addition, we should keep good healthy habits and keep our body clean.

As many Chinese say, "come on, Wuhan", we believe we can certainly overcome the epidemic!

Yours, Li Hua

亲爱的艾米,

我很高兴收到你的来信，询问有关武汉新型冠状病毒的事情。在此我写信想告诉你这些。自2019年12月起武汉爆发传染性疫情以来，为了防止疫情恶行传播，中国政府已经果断封锁武汉。与此同时，虽然全国各地也陆续发现病例，但中国人民积极面对，与武汉共同抗疫。

在这特殊时刻，我们尽量少外出，自我隔离。如果外出，我们务必要戴好防护口罩，防止自己被感染。另外，我们应该保持良好的健康习惯，勤清洁。

正如很多中国人说的"武汉加油"，我们相信我们一定能战胜疫情！

你的李华
