Italy fast-tracks new doctors

意1万名医学生提前上岗

Italy will rush 10,000 student doctors into service, scrapping their final exams, in an effort to help the struggling health service cope with the novel coronavirus outbreak. The crisis has pushed hospitals to breaking point at the epicenter in northern Italy and left other regions scrambling to strengthen their own health systems as the number of infected rises nationwide.

为了帮助困难重重的卫生服务部门应对新型冠状病毒疫情，意大利将取消1万名医学生毕业前的最后考试，让他们提前开始工作。随着意大利全国范围内感染人数的增加，位于疫情中心的意大利北部的医院已经达到强度极限，其他地区也正匆忙加强其卫生系统。

University Minister Gaetano Manfredi said the government would let this year's medicine graduates start work some eight or nine months ahead of schedule and waive mandatory exams they normally sit for before qualifying.

大学部长加埃塔诺·曼弗雷迪称，政府将让今年的医学院毕业生提前大概八、九个月开始工作，并免除他们获得从业资格前须参加的强制性考试。

"This means immediately releasing into the National Health System the energy of about 10,000 doctors, which is fundamental to dealing with the shortage that our country is suffering," he said. The graduates will be sent to work in general practitioners' clinics and at old peoples' homes, freeing up more experienced colleagues who will be sent to the rapidly filling hospitals.

"这意味着立即向国家卫生系统输送约1万名医生，对于缓解我国正在遭受的医生短缺情况至关重要。"这些医学生将被送往全科医生诊所和养老院工作，从而腾出更多经验丰富的医生，让他们赶赴迅速饱和的那些医院。

Spaniards begin renting out dogs

西班牙人为出门租狗遛?

Offers of a dog have begun popping up on Spanish online marketplaces as the coronavirus quarantine measures went into effect. Adverts seen on MilAnuncios.com include a hunting dog in Valencia, charging 25 euros for a "walk". It comes as a royal decree approved mid-March has severely restricted freedom of movement in Spain.

随着新冠肺炎疫情期间隔离措施的实施，西班牙网络市场开始出现租狗信息。在MilAnuncios.com网站的广告中，人们可以看到瓦伦西亚的一位客户出租加那利猎犬，他的收费是"遛狗一次"25欧元(约合人民币192元)。本月中旬，西班牙通过了一项皇家法令，严格限制居民外出。

Residents must stay indoors, only leaving home – one per car – for food, medicine, medical assistance, essential work, caring for loved ones or other justifiable activity. Anyone breaking the rules can be fined, depending on the category of their infraction.

居民必须待在室内，只能一车一人离家购买食品、药品、就医、去工作、照顾亲人或从事其他正当活动。任何违反规定的人将根据违反程度被处以罚款。

But the government has assured residents they may walk their pets, so long as they observe social distancing measures such as keeping 1m apart from other members of the public. MilAnuncios.com said they will not permit the renting out of pets, allowing residents to "laugh off" the coronavirus restrictions. They are eliminating all the ads that appear in this regard.

但政府也明确表示，居民只要按照规定与他人保持社交距离，比如与其他人间隔1米，就可以带宠物出去散步。MilAnuncios.com网站表示，他们不会允许出租宠物，让居民绕开为遏制疫情而出台的限制措施。他们正在删除所有这类广告。

Japan mulls postponing Olympics

安倍:东京奥运可能推迟

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday hinted at the possibility that the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games could be postponed this summer if they could not be held in their complete form. "If it is difficult to hold the games in such a way, we have to decide to postpone it, giving top priority to the health of the athletes," the Japanese leader said.

日本首相安倍晋三23日暗示，如果无法举办一届"完整"的奥运会和残奥会，今夏的东京奥运会和残奥会可能被推迟举行。安倍当天说，如果举办一届完整的奥运会变得非常困难，我们就不得不决定推迟奥运会，因为首先要考虑运动员的健康。

Abe had previously said that Japan was still pushing ahead to host the Games in their "complete form," meaning as per the current schedule and in front of spectators. The latest remarks from the Japanese leader come on the heels of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) saying that it is exploring a number of scenarios amid the global coronavirus pandemic, including postponing the Games.

此前安倍曾说，日本仍然在朝着举办一届"完整的"奥运会努力，"完整"意味着依既定日程举办，而且不会取消观众。安倍此番最新讲话之前，国际奥委会表示正在探寻在全球新冠疫情下举办东京奥运的多种可能性，其中包括推迟奥运会的选项。

Abe said the IOC will ultimately make a final decision on the matter. He added, however, that neither the IOC or Japan have discussed the idea of cancelling the quadrennial Games, nor is such a scenario tabled to be discussed.

安倍表示，国际奥委会将就此事作出最终决定，但是国际奥委会和日本均没有讨论过，此后也不会讨论是否取消这一四年一度的赛事。

美联储开启无限量宽松

The US Federal Reserve announced on Monday it will purchase US treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities with no limit to help markets function more efficiently amid coronavirus uncertainty.

美国联邦储备委员会(美联储)23日宣布，将购买美国国债和机构抵押贷款支持证券，不设额度上限，以帮助市场在新冠病毒带来不确定性的情况下更有效地运转。

For the first time, the Fed will back purchases of corporate bonds, backstop direct loans to companies and "soon" will roll out a program to get credit to small and medium-sized business. It also said it will expand asset purchases by as much as needed to stabilize financial markets.

美联储将首次支持购买企业债券并直接向企业提供贷款，并将"很快"推出一项向中小企业提供信贷的计划。美联储还表示，将尽可能大地扩大资产购买规模，以稳定金融市场。

Earlier this month, the Fed pledged to buy at least $500 billion in US treasuries and at least $200 billion in agency mortgage-backed securities over the coming months.

British told to stay at home

英颁布居家令为期三周

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced new curbs on movement in the United Kingdom to halt the spread of novel coronavirus, urging people to simply stay at home. From Monday night, people are only allowed to leave their homes for very limited purposes.

为遏制新型冠状病毒的传播，英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊宣布在全国范围内实施更加严厉的人流限制措施。自23日晚开始，所有民众不许出门，只有几种情况例外。

"Shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible. One form of exercise a day - for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household. Any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person," Johnson said.

约翰逊说："可以购买必要生活物品，建议尽可能减少次数。一天进行一种运动，例如跑步、散步、骑自行车，可以独自一人也可以与家庭成员一起。购买医疗必需品，或是去照看弱势群体。"

But he restricted travel only to and from essential work, such as NHS, where this cannot be done from home. Johnson said police will have the power to enforce rules when people do not comply. Parks will remain open for exercise but gatherings will be dispersed. All public assemblies of more than two people, excluding people who live together, will be banned, the prime minister said.

约翰逊说，只有从事像NHS这样无法在家办公的关键性岗位的民众可以去上班或从工作地点回家。他还说，当民众不遵守这些规定时，警方将有权力强制执行。公园照旧开放，可以去锻炼，但聚会人群将被驱散。禁止两个以上不是同住的人在公共场所聚会。

Prince Charles tests positive

英王储查尔斯感染新冠

The heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, on Wednesday became the most prominent public figure in the UK to be confirmed as having coronavirus, in a development that raises questions about the risk the virus poses to senior royals. "He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual," Clarence House said.

英国王储查尔斯王子25日成为英国被确诊感染新型冠状病毒的最知名公众人物，这一事态发展引发了有关新冠病毒对王室高级成员构成风险的疑问。克拉伦斯宫表示："他有轻微症状，但除此之外健康状况良好，过去几天照常在家工作"。

The prince's wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, had also been tested but did not have the virus, the statement said. "It is not possible to ascertain from whom the prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks," the statement added.

声明称，查尔斯王子的妻子康沃尔公爵夫人也接受了新冠病毒检测，结果呈阴性。声明还称，无法确定查尔斯王子是从谁那里感染的病毒，因为最近几周他出席了许多的公务活动。

The prince's illness raises questions about the potential risk from the virus to his mother, the Queen, who is 93, and the Duke of Edinburgh, her husband, who is 98. However, Buckingham Palace, the queen's official residence, said the monarch remained in good health.

查尔斯王子感染新冠病毒，令外界对病毒可能给他的母亲、93岁的女王及其98岁的丈夫爱丁堡公爵带来的潜在风险产生疑问。但女王的官邸白金汉宫表示，女王身体状况良好。

Virus can still be beaten

世界面临'第二个窗口期'

The chief of the World Health Organization said on Wednesday that the world has squandered the first window of opportunity to defeat COVID-19 in the past two months and should not squander the second one now.

世卫组织总干事谭德塞25日表示，过去两个月世界已经浪费了击败新冠肺炎疫情的第一个机会窗口，现在出现了第二个机会窗口，不要再浪费。

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the unprecedented measures taken by many countries have come at significant social and economic cost, such as closing schools and businesses, cancelling sporting events and asking people to stay home.

谭德塞说，目前许多国家都采取了空前的措施，像关闭学校和企业、取消体育赛事、要求人们待在家里，付出了巨大的社会和经济代价。

"We call on all countries who have introduced so-called 'lockdown' measures to use this time to attack the coronavirus," he said. "You have created a second window of opportunity." He warned that the last thing any country needs is to open schools and businesses, only to be forced to close them again because of a resurgence.

"我呼吁现在采取了'封锁'措施的国家，利用这段时间来对抗病毒，你们创造了第二个机会窗口。"谭德塞警告称，所有国家最不需要的是开放学校和企业后，因为疫情反弹而不得不再次关闭。
