BBC News:歐洲爆發(fā)麻疹病例

 
 
Hello, I'm Jerry Smit with the BBC news.
 
大家好，我是杰瑞·施密特，歡迎收聽BBC新聞。
 
New figures from the World Health Organization show there were more reported cases of measles in Europe in the first six months of the year than in any twelve month period this decade. The organization has called for immediate measures to be taken. Here's Danny Aeberhard. The figures are worrying. There're already nearly eight times higher than for the whole of 2016. At least 37 people have died. More than half the cases have been in Ukraine, but France, Russia, Greece and Italy are among the other countries that have registered more than a thousand cases so far this year. Most of those affected are children under sixteen. The WHO is pushing to ensure that at least 95 percent of people are vaccinated, the threshold for preventing outbreaks. But it's hampered in part due to fears over vaccine safety, unfounded according to the scientific consensus.
 
世界衛(wèi)生組織的新數(shù)據(jù)表明，歐洲上半年報道的麻疹病例比十年來任何一年內(nèi)的病例還要多。世衛(wèi)組織呼吁立即采取措施。以下是丹尼•艾伯哈德的報道。麻疹病例的數(shù)量令人擔(dān)憂，如今這一數(shù)字比2016年全年增長了近八倍?，F(xiàn)在已至少有37人死亡，超過一半的病例都是在烏克蘭，但截止到目前，法俄希意等國家的病例也超過了一千個。大多數(shù)感染者為16歲以下的兒童。世衛(wèi)組織正積極確保95%的民眾注射過疫苗，這是防止疾病爆發(fā)的一道門檻。但卻因擔(dān)心疫苗安全而受到了阻礙，但從科學(xué)共識的角度看，這種擔(dān)心毫無根據(jù)。
 
Advocates for victims of child sex abuse by Roman Catholic clergymen say they are disappointed by Pope Francis's letter condemning priests' behavior and promising to hold them accountable. One American activist said a better disciplinary system is needed while others have urged the pontiff to spell out exactly what measures will be taken to hold priests and church leaders responsible for their actions. Kallen May has this report. Abuse victims have complained the letter does not set out what that accountability means. In one paragraph of his letter, the Pope sharply CRIticizes clericalism, the practice of holding priests and bishops in higher regard than laypeople, in many cases, protecting them and their reputations. Changing that aspect of catholicism will be a substantial hurdle to riding the church of the stain of abuse.
 
兒童遭到羅馬天主教牧師性侵，擁護(hù)者表示稱，他們對教皇弗朗西斯的信感到失望，他在信中譴責(zé)了牧師的行為，并承諾追究他們的責(zé)任。一名美國活動人士指出需要建立一個更完善的懲戒制度，其他人呼吁教皇闡明要采取的確切措施，要讓牧師和教會領(lǐng)袖對自己的行為負(fù)責(zé)，以下是凱拉•梅的報道。受害者表示教皇的信并沒有闡明問責(zé)的含義。在其中一段中，教皇嚴(yán)厲斥責(zé)教權(quán)主義，相比于普通人，人們更尊敬牧師和主教，并在一些情況下保護(hù)他們以及他們的名譽(yù)。洗清教會污點的最大障礙應(yīng)該是改變教權(quán)主義的這一方面。
