NEW YORK – A rare, deadly, and highly contagious disease is spreading across the United States, having infected more than 100 people since the beginning of the year, with thousands more at risk. This is not the doomsday Ebola scenario that so many were envisioning when the first case in the US was diagnosed five months ago.
纽约—如今，一场罕见的高传染性致命疾病正在美国蔓延，自今年年初以来已经感染了100多人，并由数千人属于高危人群。这不是埃博拉式的末日情景——许多人在五个月前美国确诊首例埃博拉后担心这一点。这是麻疹的死灰复燃——2000年，美国疾病控制和预防中心宣布，由于有了高效安全的疫苗，这种疾病已被根除。哪里出了问题？
