由于英国发现新冠病毒变种,近日多个国家对英国实施了旅游和限行禁令。包括瑞典和西班牙在内的很多国家也发现了有关变种病毒的病例。此后,英国又发现了另一种变异新冠病毒,新的变异病毒感染病例与近期的南非旅行史有关。据报道此种变种病毒传播性更强。
In the UK, a new coronavirus variant has led to several countries imposing traveling bans and restrictions to the nation. Many countries including Sweden and Spain reported cases related to the variant. A second variant has also been detected in people who were contacts of cases from recent travel to South Africa. The second variant is believed to be more transmissible.
马上学:Variant作名词,可表示“变体、变种”,病毒变体也可以表达为mutated virus。Variant作形容词时,表示“不同的,有差别的”。
