我知道你们都快被憋疯了，所以我准备整理一些外媒报道中较难的GRE单词，有这样的语境背诵起来应该会更容易吧。

　　1. 患病感染

　　如果是人得病，那么比较正式的说法是contract和succumb to

　　例句1: The doctor was “99% sure” she had contracted the mysterious pneumonia-like illness sweeping China’s central city of Wuhan。

　　例句2: A UScitizen diagnosed with the coronavirus died in Wuhan, China on Thursday, becoming the first American to succumb to the novel virus, one that has already killed more than 700 others.

　　2. 遏制病毒的传播

　　用stop the spread就太low 了，这种一般都是公众海报级别的词汇。在正式的报道的中，我们用contain或者是curb。

　　例句1: The World Health Organization on Friday hailed a fall in the number of new infections for a second consecutive day, which could signal some progress in containing the outbreak.

　　例句2: U.S.Officials Promise ‘Aggressive Measures’ to Contain Coronavirus.

　　例句3: Macau Asks Casinos to Suspend Operations to Curb Coronavirus Spread

　　看我们这些工作在一线contain coronavirus的战士们！

　　3. 隔离，来个大词，quarantine

　　例句: Yu Lin Yin was in Wuhan, China, when he secured a spot on a plane to the U.S. carrying almost 200 people. He is now in quarantine in California.

　　经常往返国际航班的朋友们并不陌生quarantine这个词。这个单词前最quar可能让你想起有“四”的感觉，比如quarte，四分之一，quartile 四分卫点，quardruple，四倍。没错这个单词也是和“四“有关的。

　　在黑死病盛行的14世纪，古意大利的拉古萨城要求所有停靠船只都强制隔离forty days，四十天，在意大利语中被称之为“Quaranta Giorni“， 久而久之就演变成了今天的quarantine。e

　　4. 封锁 lockdown

　　例句：The severity of the coronavirus outbreak led to a lockdown of Wuhan city and Hubei province -- with more than 58 million people -- along with some other areas of China.

　　5. epidemic 传染病

　　The epidemic has brought much of China to a virtual standstill, even far from Wuhan.

　　很多人可能想起了pandemic。从规模来说epidemic指的是某一个特定区域的传染病，而pandemic你看到了pan就能想象到规模很大了，涉及到在多个国家甚至全球就可以用pandemic了。但是很多流行病学家对这两个词在某些情况下也不是很好确定。一张小图送给大家用来区分这两个单词：

　　总之，团结起来，在这场灾难面前我们不做deserter！
