美国有线新闻 CNN 美国天气转暖 民众不顾疫情涌向海滩（在线收听）

While summer in the northern hemisphere doesn't officially start until June 20th, Memorial Day is seen as the unofficial beginning of the season. And with warmer weather descending on much of the United States, people were out and about packing beaches in some places as they reopened.

虽然北半球从6月20日开始正式进入夏季，但通常人们将阵亡将士纪念日视为夏季的开始。随着美国大部分地区逐渐转暖，一些地区重新开放后，人们开始外出，海滩再次人满为患。

A lot of folks were seen without masks and apparently ignoring social distancing rules and Americans were cautioned not to let their guard down. The White House's Coronavirus Task Force coordinator says wearing masks is crucial to keep the disease from spreading. They help prevent droplets from someone's sneeze or cough from reaching other people.

许多人没有戴口罩，显然他们无视了社交距离规定，有关部门提醒美国民众，不要放松警惕。白宫冠状病毒应对工作组协调员表示，佩戴口罩对防止冠状病毒传播至关重要。戴口罩有助于防止某人打喷嚏或咳嗽时喷出的飞沫溅到其他人。

One question submitted to CNN is about whether you can catch COVID-19 by going to the pool. The Centers for Disease Control says a pool or hot tub that's well maintained and disinfected is not likely to carry the virus from one person to another.

CNN收到的一个提问是，人们在泳池游泳是否会感染新冠肺炎。美国疾病控制中心表示，妥善维护和消毒的泳池或热水浴缸不太可能传播病毒。

So you probably won't get it from the water. But health officials say you can still catch it from other people there, so they're advising Americans to stay at least six feet away from others even at the pool.

因此，大家可能不会在水中感染。但卫生官员表示，人们仍然可能被泳池中的其他人感染，因此，他们建议美国民众在泳池中也要和别人保持至少六英尺的距离。

Different nations have different levels of coronavirus cases. The US has confirmed the most with more than 1.6 million positive diagnoses since the disease first arrived. Brazil and Russia have each confirmed more than 300,000 cases and the United Kingdom and Spain have each seen more than 200,000.

不同国家的冠状病毒疫情程度也各不相同。美国是全球确诊病例最多的国家，目前确诊人数已超过160万人。巴西和俄罗斯的确诊病例都超过30万例，而英国和西班牙的确诊病例也已超过20万例。

Nations are also at different stages when it comes to their responses. To reopen or not to reopen, that is the question many are asking. And when restrictions should be lifted, that is the challenge many are facing.

各国在应对疫情方面也处于不同阶段。是否重新开放？这是许多人都在问的问题。何时解除限制措施？这是许多人面临的挑战。
