美国有线新闻 CNN 美爆发大肠杆菌疫情 疾控中心调查与莴苣食用有关

 

Celtuce, oak leaf and Swiss chard are all types of what?

莴笋、橡树叶、唐莴苣都属于哪种蔬菜?

Ivy¹, lettuce², rose, or cauliflower?

常春藤，莴苣，玫瑰还是花椰菜?

This may not get as much attention as iceberg³ or butterhead, but they’re all types of lettuce.

这可能不如透明包心菜和球生菜那样吸引人们的注意，但是以上几种都属于莴苣。

AZUZ: Romaine is another type that’s getting attention for the wrong reason. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control is warning that a recent E. coli outbreak is connected to romaine lettuce.

长叶莴苣也因为另种原因得到了人们的关注。美国疾控中心发出警示：最近爆发的大肠杆菌疫情与长叶莴苣有关

And this outbreak looks to be pretty widespread. It’s affected⁴ at least 53 people in 16 states, including eight people at a prison in Alaska. But it’s a lettuce growing area several states away, in Yuma, Arizona, that’s believed to be the source of the outbreak.

疫情波及的范围非常大。影响了16个州53人，其中包括阿拉斯加州监狱的8人。但在亚利桑那州尤马市，有几个州的长叶莴苣种植面积正在扩大，人们认为这是疫情爆发的源头。

Labels on packages often don’t say where the lettuce is from. So, the CDC says people should throw out any romaine in their homes and avoid it at restaurants unless they know for sure that the lettuce isn’t from Yuma.

包装上的标签通常不会说明莴苣的种植地。所以，疾病预防控制中心表示，人们应该在家里扔掉家中所有的莴苣，除非他们知道生菜不是来自尤马，否则不要在餐馆吃莴苣。

No deaths have been reported as of last night. But five victims have developed a type of kidney failure as a result of the bacterial⁵ outbreak.

截至昨晚没相关死亡的报道。但由于细菌的爆发，五名受害者患上了一种肾衰竭疾病。
