今天我们要学的词是quarantine
Quarantine是隔离的意思。"Mayor Nagin of New Orleans and his wife have been placed under quarantine after another passenger on their flight to China showed H1N1 flu like symptoms," 新奥尔良市市长纳金和夫人乘坐的飞往中国的班机上一名乘客发现H1N1甲型流感疑似症状,纳金夫妇因此被隔离观察。
在新西兰,一家托儿所里的一个一岁男孩上周五被证实患有H1N1甲型流感。"Thirty-seven children from the childcare center have been put under quarantine," 托儿所的37个孩子已经被隔离观察。
