美国有线新闻 CNN 欧盟推出疫苗护照 美国各州态度不一

And the controversial issue of vaccine¹ passports is our first subject this Friday.

本周五的首个话题是存在争议的疫苗护照。

What are they? Vaccine passports are a form of proof that someone has received a coronavirus vaccine.

什么是疫苗护照？疫苗护照能证明某人接种了冠状病毒疫苗。

They could be digital on a phone or issued through a paper certificate.

其可以是手机上的电子证明，也可以是纸质证明。

If they become a requirement, people may need to show vaccine passports to get into concerts, ballgames, businesses and other countries.

如果成为要求，那人们在进入音乐会场馆、球赛场馆、商店和其他国家前可能都要出示疫苗护照。

The European Union is working on a certificate that would show people have been vaccinated² or fully³ recovered from COVID-19 or recently tested negative for the virus

欧盟正在通过纸质证明证实人们已接种疫苗，或已完全从新冠肺炎中恢复，或最近的病毒检测呈阴性，

in order for them to travel across the 27 EU member countries.

以便他们能够自由出入27个欧盟成员国。

In the United States, the Biden Administration says it does not support vaccine passports

在美国，拜登政府表示不支持疫苗护照，

and that the Federal government will not require every American to carry one, but different states have different approaches.

联邦政府也不会要求每个美国人都携带疫苗护照，但不同的州有不同的规定。

New York, for instance, recently became the first state to launch vaccine passports.

例如，纽约州最近成为首个推行疫苗护照的州。

Florida, on the other hand, recently became the first state to ban them.

另一方面，佛罗里达州最近成为首个禁止疫苗护照的州。

And while supporters say they're necessary for American's safety, opponents say they infringe⁴ on American's freedom.

虽然支持者称疫苗护照对美国人的安全是必要的，但反对者认为这侵犯了美国人的自由。
