近日，墨西哥推出了一款只遮住鼻子的新型鼻罩，研究人員稱，這種鼻罩是為了降低人們在吃飯時感染新冠病毒的風(fēng)險。然而世界衛(wèi)生組織在佩戴口罩的建議中則表示，要預(yù)防感染新冠病毒，需要遮蓋鼻子、嘴和下巴。

墨西哥研究員發(fā)明鼻罩預(yù)防新冠

Researchers in Mexico have sniffed out a new COVID-19 mask designed for people to wear only over their noses while they eat.
墨西哥研究人員發(fā)明了一種預(yù)防新冠的新型面罩，這種戴在鼻子上的面罩專為用餐中的人設(shè)計。

The nose masks — worn under a full mask with similar behind-the-ears straps — were unveiled in a demonstration video where a man and woman sit down for lunch, according to Reuters.
據(jù)路透社報道，在一段演示視頻中，一男一女坐下用餐時，亮出了戴在口罩之下、繩帶掛在耳后的鼻罩。

In the video, the pair takes off their normal masks to reveal their nose-only gear before chowing down at an outdoor table.
視頻顯示，兩人摘下了正常的口罩，露出了只遮住鼻子的鼻罩，隨后在一張戶外餐桌上大快朵頤。

網(wǎng)友：這是掩耳盜鈴，自欺欺人！

有網(wǎng)友在推特上為鼻罩叫好，稱其將“減少新冠傳播”，但更多的網(wǎng)友則對這一發(fā)明嗤之以鼻。

Human cells that give people a sense of smell are a key entry point for coronavirus, making nose coverings important, according to Johns Hopkins University. But the World Health Organization recommends that people wear masks covering their nose, mouth and chin to best protect from the virus.
根據(jù)約翰霍普金斯大學(xué)的研究，與嗅覺有關(guān)的人體細(xì)胞是冠狀病毒入侵的關(guān)鍵目標(biāo)，因此鼻子遮擋物至關(guān)重要。但是世界衛(wèi)生組織建議人們戴口罩時遮住鼻子、嘴和下巴，以最大限度地保護(hù)自己免受病毒的侵害。

And Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studies have shown that more mask material is generally better than less. Last month, a CDC study showed that double-masking can significantly decrease the spread of the coronavirus.
而美國疾控中心的研究表明，口罩用料多總比少好。上個月，疾控中心的一項研究表明，雙重遮蔽可以顯著減少新冠病毒的傳播。

The report didn’t note the name of the Mexican researchers, their company or when the nose masks could become available to the public.
該報道沒有提到墨西哥研究人員的名字、公司，也沒有提到口罩何時會提供給公眾。
