CCTV9英语新闻：来自32个国家的卫生官员出席埃博拉病毒会议_在线英语听力室

(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Health officials from 32 nations have met in Cuba to discuss plans to contain the Ebola epidemic¹.

The meeting was organized by ALBA, a nine-nation bloc² led by socialist³ allies Venezuela and Cuba. They held a summit in Havana last week in which presidents and prime ministers pledged cooperation on Ebola.

The nations met to coordinate⁴ a region-wide response if the virus was to spread in the Americas. Experts warned, despite a handful of Ebola cases in the Americas, it's only a matter of time before more cases of the virus surface, unless it is contained in West Africa. Cuba says it is preparing to train health professionals from around the Americas, and the US said it appreciated this effort.
