世界卫生组织25日警告说,墨西哥和美国发生的猪流感疫情已经构成具有国际影响的公共卫生紧急事态。现在墨西哥首都墨西哥城各级学校已经停课,美国进入了公共卫生紧急事态。今天我们来看看,猪流感的英文应该怎么说吧。
世界卫生组织在报道中写道:In response to cases of swine influenza A(H1N1), reported in Mexico and the United States of America, the Director-General convened a meeting of the Emergency Committee to assess the situation and advise her on appropriate responses.
作为对在墨西哥和美国爆发的猪流感的回应,世卫组织总干事召集了一次紧急会议来评估事态发展以及对总干事给出合理回应做出建议。
这里的swine influenza就是猪流感。也可以简称为swine flu。猪流感病毒swine influenza virus(感谢沪友指正)也可以简称SIV,我们以前都听说过H5N1型高致病性禽流感,这次的猪流感病毒类型为H1N1型。H被称为红细胞凝聚素,N被称作神经氨酸苷酶,它们都是糖蛋白,分布在病毒表面。H有115个亚型,N有19个亚型(在甲型病毒的情况下)。由于H和N的组合不同,病毒的毒性和传播速度也不相同。
我们顺便说说和猪有关的词,swine,pigs和hogs,这三个词都可以指猪这种动物。swine是猪比较通用的说法,而pig可以侧重指小猪,hog就可以偏指那些份量已经可以上市或者接近上市的猪。被阉割的公猪叫barrow,小母猪叫做gilt,不要以为知道一个pig就可以横扫英语世界哦。
