Hoop dance inspires Native American youth 印第安青少年表演传统圈舞
文字稿 A major milestone in the fight against Ebola. Tests of an experimental vaccine in Guinea found the pioneering treatment to be up to 100% effective. Nearly 6,000 people received the vaccine; all were free of the virus 10 days later. Guinea was at the centre of the largest outbreak of Ebola in history. First identified at 2016, it swept through West Africa killing 70% of those infected and presenting the World Health Organisation with one of its biggest challenges. More than 11,000 people died and until now there was no known cure.
这是人类抗争埃博拉病毒的一个重大转折点。在几内亚,试验性疫苗的测试结果发现这种开创性治疗方法的有效率高达100%。近六千名感染者在接种了此疫苗十天后,已不再携带病毒。几内亚处于史上最大规模的埃博拉疫情暴发的中心地区。2016年,人们首次发现了这种病毒,此后,疫情在西非迅速蔓延,有70%的感染者死亡。埃博拉病毒给世界卫生组织带来了有史以来最大的挑战之一。目前,死亡人数已超过11000人,而在此试验性疫苗之前,人们还未找到一种能有效治愈该病的方法。
In the interest of preserving culture and identity among Native Americans, Steve LaRance decided to start teaching a traditional hoop dance to young children. The artist lives in New Mexico. He started the Pueblo of Pojoaque Youth Hoop Dancers in 2016, at a time when he felt the younger generation was becoming too distracted by modern influences and technologies.
