　　With nations in West Africa facing the biggest andmost complex outbreak of Ebola Hemorrhagic Feverin history, the United States is stepping upassistance to confront the disease.

　　随着西非国家面临历史上规模最大且病情最为复杂的埃博拉出血热疫情,美国加大援助对抗这种疾病。

　　An additional 50 U.S. disease control specialists willsoon travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the nations at the center of the epidemic, toprovide technical assistance and help health officials there with emergency operations. Theywill also help bolster medical laboratories in the region that test for the disease, and helpscreen air travelers to identify passengers who may have been infected.

　　额外的50名美国疾病控制专家小组很快将动身赶往疫情中心国家几内亚、利比里亚和塞拉利昂提供技术援助并帮助那里进行紧急手术的卫生官员。他们也将帮助提高该地区医学实验室对于埃博拉病例的检测,并且监控航空旅客识别可能被感染的乘客。

　　Top U.S. health officials discussed further aid with leaders from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeriawho are attending the U.S.-African Leaders Summit in Washington this week. Medical suppliesand expertise are badly needed to combat a disease that has killed at least 900 people andinfected more than 1700, African officials say.

　　美国高级卫生官员与出席本周华盛顿美国非洲领导人峰会的利比里亚，塞拉利昂和尼日利亚领袖们共同商讨进一步援助行动。非洲官员表示对抗这种已造成至少900人死亡,超过1700人感染的疾病，严重稀缺的就是医疗用品和专业知识。

　　There is no known cure for Ebola, which is spread through contact with bodily fluids and causessymptoms including fever, headaches, vomiting and diarrhea, and can lead to internalbleeding. Supportive care, such as replacing lost fluids and administering drugs, can improve apatient's chances of survival.

　　目前尚无已知治疗方法的埃博拉病毒通过体液接触传播,引起的症状包括发热、头痛、呕吐和腹泻,甚至还能使病人内出血。援助性护理,如更换流失的水分和药物管理,可以提高病人的生存几率。

　　Two Americans who contracted Ebola while working in a clinic in Liberia are receivingexperimental antibody treatments after medical evacuation to the U.S. If further testingproves the antibodies effective, they may offer hope against future cases of the disease inAfrica, but they are unlikely to be ready for widespread use in the current outbreak, medicalexperts say.

　　在利比里亚诊所工作期间感染埃博拉病毒的2位美国人经过医疗疏散到达美国后接受了实验抗体治疗。如果进一步的测试证明该抗体有效,他们可能为未来非洲的病患提供希望,但医学专家表示他们不太可能准备在当前疫情蔓延的情况下广泛使用。

　　U.S. health agencies responded quickly to requests from West Africa when the scope of theproblem was known. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention coordinated testingof samples from suspected cases of Ebola infection. The U.S. Agency for InternationalDevelopment is funding a mobile laboratory in Guinea that can quickly do tests in suspectedcases of the disease. Under another USAID grant, protective equipment is being provided tohealth care workers treating the sick. Monies have been provided to fund a public informationcampaign to help people protect themselves from infection.

　　美国卫生机构对于对于发现这种疾病的规模西非的请求迅速作出回应。美国疾病控制和预防中心协调检测埃博拉感染疑似病例样本。美国国际开发署正在资助一个在几内亚的移动实验室,这样很快就能对疑似病例进行测试。在美国国际开发署资助下,防护设备提供给医护人员治疗病人。资金也很快到位用以资助公共信息运作帮助人们保护自己免受感染。

　　Such health crises threaten us all and require a wide-ranging, international response. As seenin efforts on other health threats such as HIV/AIDS and malaria, the United States is helpinglead the way.

　　这样威胁到我们所有人的健康危机需要广泛的,国际的响应。与应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病和疟疾等其他健康威胁所做出的努力一样,美国正在带头对抗埃博拉。
