自疫情以来，“健康码”就一直和人们的生活息息相关。


眼眶可以红，健康码一定不可以红！

那大家知道“健康码”的英语怎么说吗？
“核酸检测”和“隔离”的英语又怎么说呢？

health code

health code 健康码
健康码的“码”，其实就是“二维码”。

“二维码”的英文是 QR Code，所以“健康码”的英语就是：Health QR code～

可以简写成：Health code.

例句：

The health QR code has been launched across the country.
全国各地都设置了健康码。

Mobile platforms are now trying to move beyond a simple scan of a QR code for a retail transaction.

移动平台已经不满足于提供扫描二维码的零售交易支付服务，现在正在努力拓展其他业务。

nucleic acid test

nucleic acid test
nucleus /ˈnuːkliəs/，acid /ˈæsɪd/
“核酸”这个专有名词对应的英文就是"nucleic acid"。
nucleic acid test 就是“核酸检测”。

例句：

Passengers on flights to China are required to provide negative nucleic acid test results before boarding.

搭乘来华航班的乘客在登机前必须提供核酸检测阴性证明。

China has proposed a global mechanism recognition of health certificates based on nucleic acid test results in the form of internationally accepted QR codes. We hope more countries will join this mechanism.

中方提出建立基于核酸检测结果、以国际通行二维码为形式的健康码国际互认机制，希望更多国家参与。

quarantine

官方给出的“隔离”对应的英文是：
quarantine [ˈkwɒrəntiːn]
这个词除了“隔离；隔离期”，还有“检疫”的意思。

quarantine 这个词最早来源是古罗马的拉丁语，和表示“四分之一”的quarter来源相同，原本含义是指“40天”。
quarantine 最早诞生于14世纪黑死病流行的意大利。而它有“隔离”的意思，也是从那时开始的。

例句：

No mammals other than people may enter the country without lengthy quarantine.除人之外，所有的哺乳动物进入这个国家都必须经过长期隔离。

Finally, they must take a third test after completing quarantine in China.

最后，他们必须在中国隔离期满后进行第三次核酸检测。

对我们很多人来说，这已经成为了疫情封锁期间的必做活动。

For some of us, lockdown has made the dark a little less forbidding.

对我们当中的一些人来说，疫情期间的封锁规定让黑暗变得不那么可怕了。

shutdown & resumption of work

shutdown 停业；停工；关闭

一旦封城，很多企业就不得不停工。

例句：

政府关门产生了众多后果，其中主要经济数据也受到了影响。

Inspecting equipment after two shutdown proved that adopted measures were very effective.

“复工”对应的英文是：resumption of work

resumption 恢复

take one's temperature

take one's temperature 测体温

temperature 是“温度、体温”的意思。

中国警方会定期给他所在的酒店打电话，政府派出的医生每过几天就会来给他量体温。

护士和医生每天来四次，为来自加利福尼亚州的他测量体温和血压。那名审讯员来得则没这么频繁。审讯员有时会朝他大喊大叫，说他是骗子，让85岁的他不要再表现得像个三岁的孩子。
