高中英语中英双语阅读素材：加拿大新冠肺炎病例大幅上升，医院可能人满为患等 加拿大新冠肺炎病例大幅上升，医院可能人满为患 OTTAWA (REUTERS) - Canada is seeing a massive spike in Covid-19 cases which could overwhelm the hospital system, an emotional Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday (Nov 20), imploring Canadians to stay home as much as possible. 渥太华(路透社)-加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多(Justin Trudeau)周五(11月20日)情绪激动地表示，加拿大新冠肺炎病例大幅增加，可能会让医院系统不堪重负，他恳求加拿大人尽可能呆在家里。 A second wave is ripping across the country, forcing several of the 10 provinces to reimpose restrictions on movement and businesses. Cases continue to spike and authorities complain some people are being more careless about taking precautions. 第二波浪潮正席卷全国，迫使10个省份中的几个省份重新实施行动和商业限制。病例继续激增，当局抱怨一些人在采取预防措施时更加粗心。 Trudeau, saying a normal Christmas is quite frankly right out of the question, spoke shortly after Theresa Tam, chief public health officer, predicted new daily cases could soar to 60,000 by the end of the year from less than 5,000 now. 在特鲁多发表讲话之前不久，首席公共卫生官谭恩美(Theresa Tam)预测，到今年年底，每日新增病例可能会从目前的不到5000例飙升至6万例。特鲁多表示，“坦率地说，一个正常的圣诞节是不可能的”。 Cases across the country are spiking massively... were really at risk of seeing case loads go up and hospitals get overwhelmed, said a clearly upset Trudeau. 明显心烦意乱的特鲁多说：“全国的病例都在大量增加……我们真的有可能看到病例数量增加，医院不堪重负。” He dismissed the idea of Ottawa invoking emergency powers to reintroduce the kind of widespread national shutdown that provinces imposed earlier in the year, saying Im not looking to bring in a federal hammer to try and do things. 他驳斥了渥太华援引紧急权力重新启动各省在今年早些时候实施的那种大范围全国停摆的想法，他说，“我不打算用联邦政府的锤子来尝试和采取行动。” Tam said the worst case scenario, a spike to 60,000 daily cases, would occur if people became more sociable. 谭说，最糟糕的情况是，如果人们变得更善于社交，每天会出现6万例病例。 Even if current restrictions on gatherings are maintained, new daily cases will jump to over 20,000 by Dec 31. 即使维持目前对集会的限制，到12月31日，每天新增病例将跃升至2万多例。 Only if people reduce their personal contacts can the situation be kept stable and even then, the experience of European nations strongly suggests more curbs
