本土疫情升溫,原本不願意打疫苗的民眾也出來接種。政府宣布,最快 5 月 16 日開始, 65 歲以上長者、18 歲 ~ 64 歲先天免疫功能不全者、長照機構長住者,只要和第 3 劑間隔超過 5 個月,就能施打第 4 劑疫苗。
那麼「該打第四劑嗎?」英文怎麼說?透過對話、翻譯、單字,您也可以用英語尬聊新鮮事!
對話
John: The number of confirmed cases has skyrocketed in recent weeks. When will the fourth vaccine doses be rolled out?
John: 最近幾週確診數暴增。什麼時候會開打第四劑疫苗呢?
Mary: The fourth vaccine doses will be rolled out next week! But, only people aged 65 and above, or those over 60 who are immunocompromised will be able to receive it. If you want to get one, you have to wait.
Mary: 下週第四劑就開打!但只有 65 歲以上的人,或 60 歲以上先天免疫功能不全者才有資格接種。如果你想打,還要再等等。
John: Should I get the fourth vaccine dose?
John: 該打第四劑嗎?
Mary: I’m not sure. According to research, four vaccine doses may prevent severe illness and death in people aged 60 and above. But, there’s no definite answer as to how long the vaccine’s protection will last. Some scholars believe that the fourth vaccine dose will have a huge impact on the immune system.
Mary: 我不確定耶。根據研究,4 劑疫苗對於 60 歲以上的人而言或可避免重症和死亡。但疫苗保護力能持續多久,目前還沒有確切的答案。有學者認為,第 4 劑疫苗會對免疫系統造成巨大影響。
John: Is that so? I have to think about it.
John: 是這樣喔?那我要考慮一下了。

多益模擬試題
People _______ 65 and above, or those over 60 who are immunocompromised will be able to receive a fourth dose of a COVID-19 vaccine beginning next week at the earliest.
(A) age
(B) ages
(C) aging
(D) aged
答案:(D)
解析:
這題考文法。整句已有動詞 will be,不能再有動詞,除非有連接詞,故刪去 (A)、(B)。表達 65 歲以上的人,要用表被動的過去分詞 aged 修飾 people,而不能用表主動的 aging,故 (D) 為正解。
整句意思是:65 歲以上的人,或 60 歲以上的免疫功能不全者,最早將於下週開始接種第四劑 COVID-19 疫苗。
