翻译练习：Covid-19 Is Here To Stay(3)

And economies have adapted. They are still suffering, of course. J.P. Morgan, a bank, predicts that the peak-to-trough decline in the first half of the year in the 39 economies it follows will be around 10% of GDP. But workers stuck in Zoom hell have discovered that they can get a surprising amount done from home. In China Starbucks designed "contactless" ordering, cutting the time customers spend in its coffee shops, Supply chains that struggled now run smoothly. Factories have found ways to shifts, shield staff behind plastic and change work patterns so that personal contact is minimised.

经济已经开始适应。当然，他们的处境仍然艰难。摩根大通银行预测，在39个经济体中，上半年下跌幅度会有GDP的10%。不过处于Zoom视频会议困境中的工作者们发现他们可以在家中完成数量惊人的工作。在中国，星巴克设计了“无接触”点餐，缩短了顾客在咖啡店的时间，曾经努力挣扎的供应链如今运转如丝。工厂纷纷错班生产，通过塑料板保护全体员工，改变工作模式把个人接触降到最低。

Now that nationwide lockdowns are done, governments can make sensible trad-offs - banning large indoor gatherings, say and allowing the reopening of schools and shops. Sometimes, as in some American states, they will loosen too much and have to reverse course. Others will learn from their mistakes.

现在全国性的封锁已经完成，政府可以理智地权衡政策——比如禁止大型室内集会，但允许学校和商店重启。有时，美国的一些州放松太多，不得不再次收紧，而其他州可以从这些错误中学习。

The problem is that, without a cure or a vaccine, containment depends on people learning to change their behaviour. After the initial covid-19 panic, many are becoming disenchanted and resistant. Masks help stop the disease, but in Europe and America some refuse to wear one because they see them as emasculating or, worse, Democratic. Thorough handwashing kills the virus, but who has not relapsed into bad old habits? Parties are dangerous but young people cooped up for months have developed a devil-may-care attitude. Most important, as the months drag on, people just need to earn some money. In the autumn, as life moves indoors, infections could soar.

问题是，只要没有治疗方法或者是疫苗，控制疾病只能依靠人们学习改变他们的行为。在初次新冠疫情恐慌之后，许多人开始不再抱有幻想与抵触防疫措施。口罩有助于防御疾病，但是在欧洲和美国的一些人拒绝戴口罩，因为他们认为戴口罩很娘娘腔，更糟糕的人认为不戴口罩才是民主党。彻底地洗手杀死病毒，但是谁没有“旧病复发”的情况呢？聚会是很危险的，可是把年青人关起来几个月已经让他们变得不管不顾。最重要的，这么多月的拖延，人们只是需要去挣点钱。在秋天，随着生活进入了室内，传染有可能高涨。
