WHO declares international emergency over coronavirus
世卫组织宣布新型冠状病毒疫情为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件
世界卫生组织的这一宣布表明世界对疫情的重视程度，也使得该组织更容易在全球范围协调各国政府的应对措施。The announcement by the World Health Organization shows the importance the world attaches to the outbreak of coronavirus and make it easier for the organization to coordinate the response of governments on a global scale.
The World Health Organization has declared an international emergency over the new coronavirus epidemic -- a decision many experts regarded as overdue, as the number of confirmed cases rose close to the total of 8100 people worldwide who fell ill during the Sars outbreak in 2003.
随着全球范围的新型冠状病毒确诊染病总人数已经超过2003年非典（SARS）爆发期间确诊病人的总人数，世界卫生组织（WHO）周四宣告，新型冠状病毒疫情是“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”。许多专家认为世卫组织早就应该做出这个宣布。
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, said: “The main reason for this declaration is not because of what is happening in China, but because of what is happening in other countries. Our greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, and which are ill-prepared to deal with it.”
世卫组织总干事谭德塞(Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus）表示：“做出这一宣布的主要原因，不是对中国的不信任，而是担心疫情在卫生条件不佳的国家扩散。
句子结构
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus,
WHO director-general,
said:
"The main reason for this declaration is not because of | what is happening in China, but because of {what is happening in other countries}.
Our greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, || and which are ill-prepared to deal with it."
第一个 what 为关系代词，引导宾语从句；第二个 what 也是关系代词，引导宾语从句；for the virus to spread 为不定式，作后置定语，for the virus 为不定式逻辑主语；which 为疑问代词，引导特殊疑问句【语法点1:特殊疑问句，见文末】，to deal 为不定式作后置定语。
Declaring a public health emergency of international concern is an important symbolic step, signalling how seriously the world takes the epidemic of respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus nCoV. In practical terms, it becomes easier for the WHO to coordinate the responses of governments around the world.
世卫组织的这一定性，是具有重要象征意义的一步，表明世界对最初在中国武汉爆发的新型冠状病毒疫情的重视程度。就实际层面而言，这一宣布也使得世卫组织更容易在全球范围协调各国政府的应对措施。
句子结构
Declaring a public health emergency of international concern is an important symbolic step, signalling | how seriously the world takes the epidemic of respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus nCoV.
Declaring 为动名词，在这里作主语；signalling 为现在分词作状语；how 为连接副词，引导宾语从句；caused 为过去分词作后置定语。
In practical terms, it becomes easier || for [the] WHO to coordinate the responses of governments around the world.
Becomes 为系动词作谓语，采用一般现在时；easy 为形容词作表语；to coordinate 为不定式。
词句分析
积累句型：Something is an important symbolic step, signalling how seriously the world takes something. 做……是具有重要象征意义的一步，表明世界（可改为其他人）对某事的重视程度。

Earlier on Thursday, Russia has ordered the closure of its huge land border with China, as Moscow scrambles to prevent the deadly coronavirus infection spreading from its southern neighbour.
周四早些时候，俄罗斯下令关闭漫长的俄中陆地边界。莫斯科方面正在紧急行动起来，以阻止致命的冠状病毒疫情从其南方邻国传播至境内。
句子结构
[Earlier on] Thursday, Russia has ordered the closure of its huge land border with China, || as Moscow scrambles to prevent the deadly coronavirus infection spreading from its southern neighbour.
Order 为谓语，采用现在完成时；as 为连词，引导状语从句，to prevent 为不定式作宾语；spreading 为动名词，infection 为动名词的逻辑主语。
词句分析
Scramble 本意是“（急速而艰难地）移动；攀登”，英文释义为：to move or climb quickly but with difficulty, often using your hands to help you. 所以文中表示莫斯科方面正在紧急行动起来。
例如：“起火的飞机降落后，惊慌失措的乘客奋力向舱门口跑去”，As the burning plane landed, the terrified passengers scrambled for the door (= tried to reach the door quickly).
除此之外，scramble 还有“争抢”的意思，英文释义：to compete with other people for something there is very little of. 比如，昨天我们学会的“市民们争抢口罩”就可以这样说： Citizens are scrambling to buy surgical masks to meet their needs in the future, some of them even have a stockpile of masks that will last several months.
Scramble 还有“打乱（单词或字母使之不再有任何含义）”的意思，比如，“他兴奋时通常会语无伦次”，He had a habit of scrambling his words when excited.
There have been no confirmed cases of the respiratory illness in Russia but Vladimir Putin’s government is anxious to prevent the virus from crossing a land border that stretches for more than 4,000km. Moscow has already blocked Chinese tour groups from entering the country.
俄罗斯尚无这种呼吸道疾病的确诊病例，但弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)领导的政府急于防止该病毒越过总长逾4000公里的俄中陆地边界。莫斯科方面已经禁止中国旅游团入境。
句子结构
There have been no confirmed cases of the respiratory illness in Russia || but Vladimir Putin's government is anxious to prevent the virus from crossing a land border (that stretches for more than 4,000km).
There 引导 there be … 句型，表示“有”的意思，been 为系动词作谓语，采用现在完成时；but 为并列连词，连接并列句，表转折；to prevent 为不定式作状语；that 为关系代词，引导定语从句，修饰前面的 border。
Moscow has [already] blocked Chinese tour groups from entering the country.
Blocked 为谓语，采用现在完成时，entering 为动名词，作介词宾语。
The growing disruption to the world’s second-largest economy came as China said 170 people had died and nearly 7,800 cases had been confirmed worldwide. The number infected with the coronavirus was also set to overtake the worldwide total of those who contracted the similar Sars infection 17 years ago. Just over 8,000 people were infected in the Sars outbreak in 2003 that killed 774 people.
世界第二大经济体遭受日益加剧的打击之际，如今全球范围内的新型冠状病毒感染的人数已经超过17年前类似的非典病毒在全球感染的人数。根据中国新浪网的《实时动态追踪》，中国全国（包括港台澳）已有9720人确诊感染新冠病毒，213人死亡。2003年非典疫情爆发期间，全球感染人数略高于8000人，其中774人死亡。

除了中国确诊的7711个病例外，在中国大陆以外大约有100个确诊病例，例如中国香港，日本，太过和新加坡的确诊病例都超过了两位数。
句子结构
[In addition to the 7,711 coronavirus cases in China], about 100 infections have been confirmed outside the Chinese mainland, with cases in Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and Singapore all reaching double digits.
Confirmed 为谓语，采用现在完成时和被动语态；all 为同位语【语法点2:all的用法】，reaching 为现在分词作状语。
The spread of the virus rippled through global markets with China’s currency weakening past a key level and global stocks under pressure.
疫情蔓延在全球市场上引发冲击波，人民币汇率跌破一个关键水平，全球股市受到压力。
句子结构
The spread of the virus rippled through global markets [with China's currency weakening past a key level and global stocks under pressure].
Rippled 为谓语，采用一般过去时；weakening 为现在分词，构成“with + n + 现在分词”复合宾语结构。
词句分析
Ripple 有两层意思，表意是“a small wave on the surface of water，细浪，涟漪”，例如，“湖面泛起阵阵涟漪”，The stone she threw caused ripples to spread across the lake. “微风在水面吹起阵阵涟漪”，The breeze rippled the water.
本文采用的是其深层含义：a sound or feeling that spreads through a person or group of people, gradually increasing and then becoming smaller. （声音的）传播起伏；（感情的）逐渐扩散。比如，“一阵激动/不安等顺着脊背传遍了他全身”，A ripple of excitement/unease flowed up her spine.
文中表示“跌破一个关键水平”用的是“weaken past a key level”，这里表示“下降，下跌”使用的是“weaken”，比如，“长期熬夜打游戏使得他的成绩跌破到一个很糟糕的水平”，Staying up late playing games for a long time weakened his score past a very bad level. 意思等同于 drop to。
As the economic ramifications of the coronavirus outbreak became clearer, Pantheon Macroeconomic said reduced tourist spending could knock 0.1 per cent off China’s GDP in the first half of the year. China’s economy grew at its slowest pace for almost three decades last year.
随着冠状病毒疫情的经济影响逐渐变得明朗，万神殿宏观经济(Pantheon Macroeconomics)表示，游客支出减少可能会使中国今年上半年的国内生产总值(GDP)损失0.1%。去年中国经济以近30年来最慢的速度增长。
词句分析
积累句型：as the economic ramifications of xxx became clearer，随着xxx的经济（可以按情况改成环境等名词）影响逐渐变得明朗。例如，“随着使用塑料袋的环境影响逐渐变得明朗”，As the environmental ramifications of using plastic bags has become clearer.
Grow at its slowest pace，缓慢增长
