The United States announced Monday it will lift COVID travel bans on all air passengers in November if they are fully vaccinated and undergo testing and contact tracing.

美国周一宣布，将于11月解除对所有航空乘客的新冠旅行禁令，前提是乘客完全接种疫苗并接受检测和接触者追踪。

The unprecedented restrictions had kept relatives, friends and business travelers around the world separated for many months as the pandemic grinds on.

随着疫情的蔓延，规模空前的限制让世界各地的亲朋好友和商务旅行者分离数月。

A White House official says the new approach will take effect in early November.

一名白宫官员表示，新措施将于11月初生效。

The travel restrictions currently in place were imposed by then U.S. President Donald Trump 18 months ago as the COVID-19 pandemic first erupted.

目前实施的旅行限制是18个月前时任美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在新冠疫情首次爆发时实行的。

Passengers will need to show they are fully vaccinated before boarding planes bound for the United States as well as providing proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days.

乘客在登机前往美国之前，将需要证明他们已经完全接种了疫苗，并提供三天内新冠检测呈阴性的证明。

Masks will be required and airlines will provide American health authorities with contact tracing information.

乘客需佩戴口罩，航空公司将向美国卫生当局提供接触者追踪信息。

Currently only U.S. citizens, residents and foreigners with special visas are allowed to enter the United States from most European countries.

目前，只有美国公民、居民和持有特殊签证的外国人才能从大多数欧洲国家进入美国。

Canadians voted Monday in a pandemic election that could weaken Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or reward his government's handling of the pandemic.

加拿大人星期一在一场疫情选举中投票，这次选举可能会削弱总理贾斯汀·特鲁多的力量，或者嘉奖他的政府对疫情的处理。

Trudeau gambled on an early election to try to capitalize on the fact that Canada is now among the most fully vaccinated countries in the world.

特鲁多试图利用加拿大现在是世界上接种疫苗最充分的国家之一的事实在提前选举中赌一把。

But the opposition has been relentless in accusing him of calling an unnecessary early vote - two years before the deadline - for his own personal ambition.

但反对派一直在无情地指责他为了个人野心，在最后期限的两年前进行不必要的提前投票。

Polls before the election showed Trudeau's Liberal Party in a neck-and-neck race with the rival Conservatives.

选举前的民意调查显示，特鲁多的自由党与对手保守党势均力敌。

The Liberals appeared likely to win the most seats in Parliament, but not a majority, forcing the party to rely on an opposition partner to pass legislation.

自由党似乎有可能赢得议会的大多数席位，但不足以组建多数派政府，这迫使该党依靠反对党伙伴来通过立法。
