疫苗是用來預(yù)防疾病，尤其是流行性疾病的一種有效方法。隨著新冠肺炎（COVID-19）在全球的感染率居高不下，一些國家開始采用打疫苗、或接種疫苗的方式來實(shí)現(xiàn)免疫。疫苗接種備受關(guān)注,隨著政府批準(zhǔn)國藥集團(tuán)的一款新冠病毒滅活疫苗上市，北京、武漢等多個城市已開始對重點(diǎn)人群有序開展疫苗接種工作。那么今天我們學(xué)習(xí)一下疫苗用英文怎么說呢？

一 、“疫苗”的英文是 vaccine [?v?ksi?n]

coronavirus disease 新冠病毒

例：

Traditionally it might take six to nine months to formulate the right vaccine.

從傳統(tǒng)上來說，配制出適當(dāng)?shù)囊呙缈赡苄枰辆艂€月的時間。

This vaccine protects against some kinds of the bacteria.

這種疫苗能抵抗這些細(xì)菌中的某幾種。

（細(xì)菌的復(fù)數(shù)bacteria [b?k?t??ri?] ，單數(shù)是bacterium [b?k?t??r??m]）

vaccine的動詞形式是vaccinate [?v?ks?ne?t] 給…接種疫苗

因?yàn)槭墙臃N疫苗，是被動的

所以“打疫苗”可以說get vaccinated

例：

Most people got vaccinated when they were young.

大部分人在小時候都打過疫苗。

inject 注射

inject vaccine打疫苗

例：

A number of politicians got injected with vaccine on TV.

另外，“打疫苗；接種疫苗”也可以用be vaccinated

例：

The children were vaccinated against the major childhood diseases.

孩子們接種了預(yù)防主要兒童疾病的疫苗。

We are going to the hospital to be vaccinated for the COVID-19.

我們要去醫(yī)院打新冠疫苗。

有的疫苗需要打兩劑 = 2 doses

dose [d??s] (藥的)一劑

a dose of penicillin 一劑青霉素

a dose of vaccine 一劑疫苗

例：

The label says to take one dose three times a day.

標(biāo)簽上寫著每次一劑，每日三次。

二、幾種常見的疫苗名稱：

COVID-19新冠疫苗

Influenza vaccine 流感疫苗

Polio vaccine 小兒麻痹疫苗

rabies vaccine/tetanus vaccine狂犬病疫苗

pertussis vaccine百日咳疫苗

四、"群體免疫"英文怎么說？

“群體免疫” = herd immunity [h??d ??mju?n?ti]

herd有“人群”的意思

例：
