【知识点】
冠状病毒(coronavirus)是一类主要引起呼吸道、肠道疾病(respiratory and intestinal diseases)的病原体。这类病毒颗粒的表面有许多规则排列的突起(a fringe of bulbous surface projections ),整个病毒颗粒就像一顶帝王的皇冠(royal crown),因此得名“冠状病毒”。冠状病毒除人类以外,还可感染猪、牛、猫、犬、貂、骆驼、蝙蝠、老鼠、刺猬等多种哺乳动物以及多种鸟类(mammals and birds)。
【关于新型冠状病毒】
2019-nCoV, as it's been labelled, is understood to be a new strain of coronavirus that has not previously been identified in humans.
这种新型冠状病毒(2019-nCoV)此前未在人类身上发现过。
Coronaviruses are a broad family of viruses, but only six (the new one would make it seven) are known to infect people.
冠状病毒是一个庞大的病毒家族,目前已知会感染人类的有六种(新发现的这种是第七种)。

【相关报道】
Scientists believe an animal source is "the most likely primary source" but that some human-to-human transmission has occurred.
科学家认为动物是“较有可能的初始感染源”,不过,也有一些人传人的病例。
Signs of infection include respiratory symptoms,fever, cough,shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.
感染症状包括:呼吸道症状,发烧,咳嗽,呼吸短促,呼吸困难等。
【阅读理解】
A new Chinese coronavirus,a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 1000 people since the outbreak(爆发) began in Wuhan,China,in December.Scientist Leo Poon,who first decoded the virus,thinks it likely started in an animal and spread to humans.
"What we know is it causes pneumonia(肺炎) and then doesn't respond to antibiotic(抗生素) treatment,which is not surprising,but then in terms of mortality(死亡率),SARS kills 10% of the individuals,"Poon,a virologist(病毒学家) at the School of Public Health at The University of Hong Kong,said.
The World Health Organization offered guidance to countries on how they can prepare for it,including how to monitor for the sick and how to treat patients.
Here are seven things you should know about a coronavirus.
What is a coronavirus
Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals.In rare cases,they are what scientists call zoonotic[ˌzəʊəˈnəʊtɪk](人畜共患病),meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Coronavirus symptoms(症状)
The viruses can make people sick,usually with a mild(轻度)to moderate(中度)upper respiratory tract illness(上呼吸道疾病),similar to a common cold.Coronavirus symptoms include a runny nose,cough,sore throat,possibly a headache and maybe a fever,which can last for a couple of days.
For those with a weakened immune system,the elderly and the very young,there's a chance the virus could cause a lower,and much more serious,respiratory tract illness like a pneumonia or bronchitis [brɒŋˈkaɪtɪs](支气管炎).
There are a handful of human coronaviruses that are known to be deadly.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome(中东呼吸综合征),also known as the MERS virus,was first reported in the Middle East in 2012 and also causes respiratory problems,but those symptoms are much more severe.Three to four out of every 10 patients infected with MERS died,according to the CDC,
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome(严重急性呼吸综合征),also known as SARS,is the other coronavirus that can cause more severe symptoms.First identified in the Guangdong province in southern China,according to the WHO,it causes respiratory problems but can also cause diarrhea [ˌdaɪəˈriə](腹泻),fatigue(疲劳),shortness of breath, respiratory distress(呼吸窘迫)and kidney failure(肾衰).Depending on the patient's age,the death rate with SARS ranged from 0-50% of the cases,with older people being the most vulnerable.
How it spreads
Viruses can spread from human contact with animals. Scientists think MERS started in camels,according to the WHO.With SARS,scientists suspected civet cats(狸猫) were to blame.
When it comes to human-to-human transmission of the viruses,often it happens when someone comes into contact with the infected person's secretions [sɪˈkriːʃ(ə)n](分泌物).
Depending on how virulent [ˈvɪrələnt] (有毒的) the virus is,a cough,sneeze or handshake could cause exposure.The virus can also be transmitted by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth,nose or eyes.Caregivers(护理人员) can sometimes be exposed by handling a patient's waste,according to the CDC.
