Hi everybody, this week, we remained focused on our fight against Ebola.

各位好，本周，我们继续关注抗击埃博拉病魔的情况。
In Dallas, dozens of family, friends and others who had been in close contact with the first patient, Mr. Duncan, were declared free of Ebola—a reminder¹ that this disease is actually very hard to catch.
在达拉斯，与我国首例埃博拉感染者邓肯先生有过密切接触的人，包括他的多位家人、朋友及其他人都被确诊没有感染。这也说明这种病毒不会轻易被感染上。

The city and state of New York have strong public health systems, and they've been preparing for this possibility.

我们已经审议了保护这些勇敢的医护人员的制度方案，接下来，我们将继续依据科学的指导，与各州、地市的官员一起，采取必要的措施，确保美国人民的人身安全和身体健康。
In closing, I want to leave you with some basic facts.

First, you cannot get Ebola easily.

Sadly, Mr. Duncan did not survive, and we continue to keep his family in our prayers.
遗憾的是，邓肯先生没有挺过来，让我们为他的家人祈祷。
At the same time, it's important to remember that of the seven Americans treated so far for Ebola—the five who contracted it in West Africa, plus the two nurses from Dallas—all seven have survived.
与此同时，我们要记住的是，7名感染埃博拉接受治疗的患者，包括5名在西非感染的人和两名在达拉斯感染的护士都挺过来了。
Let me say that again—seven Americans treated;all seven survived.
我要再强调一遍，7名接受治疗的美国人都挺过来了。
I've had two of them in the Oval Office.

And we have to keep leading the global response, because the best way to stop this disease, the best way to keep Americans safe, is to stop it at its source—in West Africa.
同时我们还要领导全球的力量共同应对，因为击败这种病毒最好的方式、保证美国人民安全健康最好的方式就是在西非这一发源地消灭它。
And we have to be guided by the science—we have to be guided by the facts, not fear.
我们要遵循科学指导和事实依据，不要恐慌害怕。
Yesterday, New Yorkers showed us the way.

They did what they do every day—jumping on buses, riding the subway, crowding into elevators, heading into work, gathering¹⁰ in parks.
他们像往常一样，乘公汽、搭地铁、挤电梯、干工作、逛公园。
That spirit—that determination to carry on—is part of what makes New York one of the great cities in the world.
