請(qǐng)看《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》的報(bào)道:
The Ministry of Health warned that cases of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) will possibly increase in the following months since June and July are the peak seasons for the disease.
衛(wèi)生部發(fā)出預(yù)警信息表示,今后幾個(gè)月手足口病的發(fā)病數(shù)量將有所增加,6、7月份為該病高發(fā)期。
HFMD, characterized by fever, sores in the mouth and rashes on hands and feet, is not a new infection and is common among infants and children, experts say. It can be triggered by various viruses and usually does not lead to death.
專家表示,手足口病是嬰兒和兒童常見(jiàn)的一種疾病,典型的癥狀有:發(fā)熱,口腔潰瘍,以及手足皰疹等。有多種病毒可導(dǎo)致手足口病,一般不會(huì)致死。
該報(bào)道中,hand-foot-mouth disease 就是“手足口病”,英文報(bào)道中常用HFMD來(lái)簡(jiǎn)稱此病。與其相關(guān)的表達(dá)有:sores in the mouth(口腔潰瘍),rashes on hands and feet(手足皰疹),slight fever(低燒),blister(水泡)等, 相關(guān)英文報(bào)道中的mouth ulcers 也是“口腔潰瘍”的意思。
