en-us	Coronavirus outbreak highlights need to address threats to ecosystems and wildlife 

zh-cn	随着世界继续承受着人类活动对野生动植物栖息地带来的空前破坏，越来越多的疾病由动物传染到人类身上。
en-us	Diseases passed from animals to humans are on the rise, as the world continues to see unprecedented destruction of wild habitats by human activity. 

zh-cn	科学家认为，由于病原体很容易传播到家畜和人类，栖息地的不断退化可能会加速进化进程并导致疾病的多样化。 
en-us	Scientists suggest that degraded habitats may encourage more rapid evolutionary processes and diversification of diseases, as pathogens spread easily to livestock and humans. 

zh-cn	世界卫生组织指出，野生动物可能是2019年新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）的来源，这一病毒已感染了全球成千上万的人，同时给世界经济带来极大的压力。
en-us	The World Health Organization reports that an animal is the likely source of the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19), which has infected tens of thousands of people worldwide and placed a strain on the global economy. 

zh-cn	世卫组织目前在其网站上提供每日病例数更新。 
en-us	It is providing daily updates on its website. 

zh-cn	根据世界卫生组织的说法，蝙蝠是COVID-19最有可能的携带者，但世卫组织补充说，这种病毒可能是由另一个中间宿主（家畜或野生动物）传播给人类的。 
en-us	According to the World Health Organization, bats are the most probable carrier of the COVID-19 but added that it is possible that the virus was transmitted to humans from another intermediate host, either a domestic or a wild animal. 

zh-cn	新冠病毒是人畜共患传染病，这意味着它会在动物和人类之间传播。
en-us	Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. 

zh-cn	先前的调查发现，严重急性呼吸道综合征（SARS）病毒是从果子狸传播给人类的，而中东呼吸综合征(MERS) 病毒主要由受感染的单峰骆驼传给人。 
en-us	Previous investigations found that the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome was transmitted from civet cats to humans, while the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome passed from dromedary camels to humans. 

zh-cn	世界卫生组织在一份声明中说：“因此，作为基本规则，人类应避免食用生的或未煮熟的动物产品。
en-us	"Therefore, as a general rule, the consumption of raw or undercooked animal products should be avoided," said the World Health Organization in a statement.  

zh-cn	小心处理生肉、生牛奶或生的动物器官，以免未煮熟的食物导致交叉污染。” 
en-us	"Raw meat, raw milk or raw animal organs should be handled with care to avoid cross-contamination with uncooked foods."

zh-cn	这项声明是在中国立法机关采取行动制止野生动植物贸易和所有野生动物消费的几天前发表的。 
en-us	The statement came a few days before China’s legislature took action to curb the trade of wildlife and consumption of all wild animals.

zh-cn	联合国环境规划署（UNEP）野生动植物负责人多琳·罗宾逊（Doreen Robinson）表示：“人与自然是一个相互联系的统一系统的一部分，大自然提供了食物、药品、水、清洁的空气以及许多其他使人们得以繁荣发展的资源和益处。 
en-us	Doreen Robinson, the Chief of Wildlife at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) said, "Humans and nature are part of one connected system, and nature provides the food, medicine, water, clean air and many other benefits that have allowed people to thrive.

zh-cn	然而，像所有系统一样，我们需要了解其工作原理，以免让事情失控发展，导致我们面临越来越多的负面后果。”
en-us	Yet like all systems, we need to understand how it works so that we don’t push things too far and face increasingly negative consequences."

zh-cn	联合国环境署《2016前沿报告》预测了一些令人担忧的新兴环境问题，人畜共患传染病威胁着经济发展、破坏动物和人类福祉以及生态系统的完整性。
en-us	UNEP’s Frontiers 2016 Report on Emerging Issues of Environment Concern shows zoonoses threaten economic development, animal and human well-being, and ecosystem integrity. 

zh-cn	在过去的几年中，几种新出现的人畜共患疾病可能引发全球大流行病而成为全球关注的头条新闻。 
en-us	In the past few years, several emerging zoonotic diseases made world headlines as they threatened to cause, major pandemics. 

zh-cn	其中包括埃博拉病毒、禽流感、裂谷热、西尼罗河病毒和寨卡病毒。 
en-us	These include Ebola, bird flu, Rift Valley fever, West Nile virus and Zika virus disease. 

zh-cn	根据这一报告，在过去的20年中，新兴疾病的直接损失已超过1000亿美元，如果爆发成为全球性大流行病，这一数字将跃升至几万亿美元。 
en-us	According to the report, in the last two decades, emerging diseases have had direct costs of more than US$100 billion, with that figure jumping to several trillion dollars if the outbreaks had become human pandemics. 

zh-cn	从环境角度来看，解决生态系统和野生动植物面临的多重且相互作用的威胁对于防止人畜共患病的发生至关重要，包括栖息地丧失和碎片化、非法贸易、污染、入侵物种以及不断加剧的气候变化。 
en-us	From the point of view of the environmental community, it is important to address the multiple and often interacting threats to ecosystems and wildlife to prevent zoonoses from emerging, including habitat loss and fragmentation, illegal trade, pollution, invasive species and, increasingly, climate change.
