抗疫是一场漫长的拉锯战,任何人都不能掉以轻心,12月8日,成都市新增4例新冠肺炎确诊病例和1名无症状感染者。而美国疫情,一天之内新增确诊23.7万,新增死亡3000+,双刷新历史新高。
防疫、隔离是2020年的主色调。
Cambridge Dictionary has revealed its word of the year is “quarantine”.
《剑桥词典》发布消息称,其评选出的2020年度词汇是“隔离”。
The dictionary's editors said that it was the third most searched-for word of the year, but comes in at number one once you discount words that recur almost every year, such as “hello” and “dictionary”.
该词典的编辑们说,“隔离”在今年的搜索量中排名第三,但如果去掉“你好”和“词典”这类几乎每年都出现的词,“隔离”就跃居榜首。
该词典也称,在封锁期间,“隔离”有了新的含义,因此也有了新的定义: 疫情期间的“隔离”指的是“禁止人们离家或自由旅行的一段时间,这样人们就不会感染或传播疾病。”
"A general period of time in which people are not allowed to leave their homes or travel freely, so that they do not catch or spread a disease."
