10月19日,全球累計新冠確診病例超4000萬例。歐洲疫情近期快速反彈,新冠病例增速已超過美國。面對來勢兇猛的第二波疫情,歐洲各國紛紛加強了限制措施,重新進(jìn)入疫情最高警戒狀態(tài)。
Governments across Europe have introduced more restrictions to combat the spread of COVID-19, with a combination of nationwide and specific regional measures and curfews imposed as the continent faces its "second wave."
面對“第二波疫情”的來襲,歐洲各國政府采取了包括宵禁在內(nèi)的面向全國和特定地區(qū)的更多限制措施以阻止新冠病毒的傳播。
The number of globally recorded coronavirus cases passed 40 million on Monday, according to Johns Hopkins University, and while more than half of those cases come from the US, India and Brazil, an increasing proportion of new daily recorded cases are emerging from Europe.
根據(jù)約翰斯·霍普金斯大學(xué)的統(tǒng)計,本周一(10月19日)全球累計新冠確診病例超4000萬例。盡管超半數(shù)病例來自美國、印度和巴西,歐洲的單日新增確診病例數(shù)所占比例也在擴大。
In total, over 7 million cases have been recorded in Europe since the start of the pandemic, according to the European Center for Disease Control, with 241,291 deaths.

Ireland’s government has announced that, starting Wednesday, it is returning the country to a full-scale lockdown for six weeks, reinstating restrictions close to those that were in place in the spring at the height of the first wave of the pandemic.
愛爾蘭政府宣布,從本周三(10月21日)起,將對國家實施長達(dá)六周的全面封鎖,并恢復(fù)春季第一波疫情高峰時采取的限制措施。
The new lockdown will raise restrictions from Level 3 to Level 5, banning all house visits, closing all but essential retail stores, and requiring people to stay within a 5-kilometer radius of their homes.
新的限制措施將把封鎖級別從3級升至5級,禁止一切上門拜訪、關(guān)閉必需品零售店以外的所有商店,要求人們在以家為中心5公里的半徑內(nèi)活動。
In the UK, the four nations of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland retain the power to set their own "lockdown" measures. In England a three-tier system remains in place, with varying restrictions imposed depending on whether an area is on "medium," "high" or "very high" alert.
在英國,蘇格蘭、英格蘭、威爾士和北愛爾蘭保留自定封鎖措施的權(quán)力。英格蘭目前實行的是三級封鎖限制措施,根據(jù)一個地區(qū)疫情的中、高或極高風(fēng)險警報采取不同的限制措施。
London moved into the category of “high” alert, meaning household mixing has been banned in indoor spaces, and the authorities have not ruled out more stringent measures for the coming winter. A 10 pm curfew on restaurants and bars and a ban of more than six people from gathering has been in place for several weeks.
倫敦已經(jīng)被劃為“高風(fēng)險區(qū)”,這意味著不同家庭間的室內(nèi)聚會將被禁止,當(dāng)局也不排除在即將到來的冬季采取更嚴(yán)格限制措施的可能性。數(shù)周前倫敦就開始實施宵禁,餐廳和酒吧必須在晚上10點前關(guān)門,并禁止6人以上的聚會。
Wales moved to impose a "fire break” lockdown for over two weeks from this Friday. All non-essential stores as well as hospitality businesses will have to close from 6 pm. In Scotland, all bars and restaurants have been shuttered to combat the spread of COVID-19. Schools in Northern Ireland shuttered for two weeks on Monday, and restaurants are now limited to take-out services only for a four-week period.
威爾士從上周五(10月16日)開始為期兩周多的“防火墻”封鎖。所有出售非必需品的商店和服務(wù)場所都必須在下午6點前關(guān)門。蘇格蘭關(guān)閉了所有酒吧和餐廳以阻止新冠病毒的傳播。北愛爾蘭的學(xué)校從本周一開始關(guān)閉兩周,餐廳在未來四周內(nèi)只能提供外賣服務(wù)。
Nine cities, including Paris, have been placed under a 9 pm to 6 am curfew in France. Over the weekend the country reported over 57,000 new coronavirus cases. And in Belgium, all bars and restaurants have been ordered to shutter for the next four weeks.
在法國,包括巴黎在內(nèi)的9座城市都已實施從晚上9點到早上6點的宵禁。上周末法國報告新增新冠肺炎確診病例逾57000例。比利時下令所有酒吧和餐廳在未來四周內(nèi)不得營業(yè)。
In a recent interview with ABC News, the WHO’s Dr Margaret Harris said that “people did believe” that they would get a “break” in the summer during the pandemic, which may in part explain why cases have risen since Europe opened up.
世界衛(wèi)生組織的瑪格麗特·哈里斯博士近日在接受ABC新聞的采訪時表示,“人們確實相信”今年夏季他們可以在疫情期間得以“喘息”,這也許能部分解釋為什么歐洲開放后病例增多。
"And, unfortunately, people sort of did behave as if it had gone away and it hadn't, and that's why numbers have been steadily increasing since the middle of June,” she said.
她說:“不幸的是,人們表現(xiàn)得好像疫情已經(jīng)過去了,但實際上并沒有,這就是新增確診病例數(shù)自六月中旬以來穩(wěn)定增加的原因。”
