别再挠头啦，"Don't leave house"隔离的英文这样说
前几天，一则“隔离用英文怎么说”的视频上了热搜，视频来自由上海市公安局和上海广播电视台携手合作，东方卫视和哔哩哔哩联合出品的全景式警务纪录片《派出所的故事》推出的三期抗疫特辑。
这专门制作三集战“疫”特别节目《抗疫实录》，把镜头对准抗击新冠肺炎的最前线，用镜头记录下全市公安民警在这场疫情阻击战中的战斗剪影。
在系列节目“抗疫实录（三）”中，曹家渡派出所的马晓亮和周世奇接到一起特殊的警情。
一名外国女子刚抵达上海，租住小区的保安由于语言问题无法与她交流，这样就无法进行疫情防控期间严格执行的返沪人员信息登记。保安不得已只能选择向民警求助。
视频里民警小哥不太流利但非常管用的“中式英语”逗笑了一众网友，大家纷纷表示，在看这个视频之前，自己也从来没想到“隔离”到底用英语怎么说。
视频里民警小哥的翻译，嗯……还真是“妙”啊。
来“康康”网友们精彩纷呈的内心活动
所以
“在家隔离”到底用英语怎么说呢？
在疫情防控中的“隔离”，对应的英文quarantine。
以下是CGTN（中国国际电视台）新闻报道中出现的几个例子：
1. 做动词，be+...ed 被动
例句：
Epidemic prevention authorities in Wuhan, Hubei province, have issued a No 10 Notice, requiring suspected cases and their close contacts be quarantined at designated facilities for further medical observation.
2. 做名词
1）quarantine area （隔离区）
例句：
When he arrives at the hospital at 7:30 every morning, Peng takes his own temperature. "Whoever has a fever must take a break that day. Before we enter the quarantine area, it takes 10 minutes to don our protective gear," he said, adding that the process involves wearing three layers of clothing.
2) stay in quarantine （隔离）
例句：
The man, who drove from Qianjiang in Hubei to Shenzhen on Jan 26, did not stay indoors after signing a promise to stay in quarantine and check his body temperature daily.
3) under quarantine（在隔离中）
例句：
Cruise ship Diamond Princess under quarantine in Japan.
4) release from quarantine（解除隔离）
例句：
China Women’s National Football Team cleared for release from quarantine.

disinfect 消毒
消毒不要翻译成kill viruses，这个表达不规范。infect是感染和携带病菌的意思，dis是否定前缀，所以disinfect就是消毒。除了消灭医学病毒，disinfect还表示给电脑杀毒。
例句：
It is necessary to disinfect our rooms regularly.
定期给房间消毒是很有必要的。
contagious disease 传染病
外国人多用contagious8disease表示传染病，infectious 也是传染性的，但更强调动作，contagious更强调传染的性质，所以传染病用英语应该contagious disease。
例句：
The contagious disease is fearful,we d better stay at home recently.
这个传染病很可怕，我们近期最好还是呆在家里。
misinformation 不实信息
类似的词语还有
start a rumour 造谣
refute a rumour 辟谣
这种假消息用英语说就misinformation，谣言是rumour。大家要注意，造谣不是make a rumour，而是start a rumour，辟谣是refute a rumour。
例句：
That is misinformation,you have been fooled again.
那是假消息，你又上当了。
看完上面的内容，是不是觉得自己的知识储备又丰富了一点呢？
