Be Kind, Stay Home, Save Lives 善待, 呆在家里, 拯救生命。
The three precepts for dealing with COVID-19 are: (1) Be Kind to your fellow beings; (2) Stay at Home and Do Not go out for unnecessary trips; (3) Help to Save Lives of your fellow beings.
处理冠状病毒的三个戒律是:(1)对同胞友善; (2)呆在家里,不要出门不必要的旅行; (3)帮助您挽救同胞的生命。
(in Maori): Ko nga ture e toru mo te whakahaere i a Coronavirus ko: (1) Kia atawhai ki o hoa; (2) Me noho ki te kaainga me te kore e haere mo nga haerenga koretake; (3) Awhina ki te Tiaki i nga Tangata o to hoa tangata.
In an attempt to eradicate New Zealand of the coronavirus, the country is in a complete LockDown mode. As this is an unprecedented situation in the country, there are heaps of questions to be answered and decided.
为了根除新西兰的冠状病毒,该国处于完全锁定模式。由于这是该国前所未有的情况,因此有很多问题需要回答和决定。
For those readers who are not familiar with New Zealand’s policy on Covid-19, Level 4 is a complete lockdown, almost like the lockdown in Wuhan except that it is under a less harsh democratic system.
对于不熟悉新西兰对Covid-19的政策的读者来说,4级是完全的封锁,就像武汉的封锁一样,只是它的民主制度较为宽松。
The public announcement on ‘Living in the conditions of Alert Level 4’ has the following basic rules:
关于“在第4级警报条件下生活”的公开声明具有以下基本规则:
(1) For the safety of all New Zealanders, we have to stay at home and should only travel for essential services, like supermarkets, banks, and chemists. Only those providing essential services are allowed to travel. (2) We are only allowed to make physical contact with those we live with, these people are known to be in our own bubbles. Everyone else must be kept at a social distance of two meters. (3) We are allowed to walk to our nearest park for exercises and fresh air but upon meeting others the social distance rule has to be kept.
(1)为了确保所有新西兰人的安全,我们必须待在家里,并且仅应出差服务,例如超市,银行和化学家。只允许提供基本服务的人员旅行。 (2)我们只被允许与我们所生活的人进行身体接触,这些人被称为自己的泡沫。其他所有人必须保持两米的社交距离。 (3)我们可以步行到最近的公园锻炼身体和呼吸新鲜空气,但在与其他人见面时,必须遵守社交距离规则。
“Act as if you have the Covid-19” is the Prime Minister’s message in her daily conference to the nation yesterday. Read the article in this link: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/412662/covid-19-lockdown-running-as-smoothly-as-could-be-expected-ardern
总理昨天在全国会议上的信中说:“好像你有Covid-19一样”。阅读此链接中的文章:https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/412662/covid-19-lockdown-running-as-smoothly-as-co-be-expected-ardern
New Zealand is fighting coronavirus (COVID-19) with the only method known - social separation. Thus, the country’s borders are closed to all foreigners to prevent the importation of the virus. Citizens returning home to New Zealand will be quarantined for a period of two weeks before allowing them to go home. Cinemas, restaurants, cafes, and social gatherings including contact sports, are prohibited. Businesses are now on a standstill. The NZ Government has already paid out millions for funding the care for the children of essential workers, for providing financial assistance to salaried workers and low-income earners and for the purchase of testing kits and essential preventive gears for the health workers.
新西兰采用唯一已知的方法-社会隔离来对抗冠状病毒(COVID-19)。因此,该国的边界对所有外国人都是封闭的,以防止病毒的进口。返回新西兰的公民将被隔离两个星期,然后才能回家。禁止电影院,饭店,咖啡馆和社交聚会,包括接触运动。企业现在处于停滞状态。新西兰政府已经支付了数百万美元,用于资助基本工人的子女照料,向受薪工人和低收入者提供经济援助,以及为卫生工作者购买测试套件和基本预防用具。
There is a cry for more testings to be carried out, especially at the Airports when New Zealanders return home. There are also cases where suspected cases of the virus are not tested although such tests have been recommended by family doctors. The reason is the lack of the supply of testing kits.
人们要求进行更多的测试,尤其是当新西兰人返回家园时,在机场进行测试。在某些情况下,尽管家庭医生建议进行此类检查,但仍未对可疑病毒病例进行检查。原因是缺少测试套件的供应。
The recovery of the economy will be very slow. Predictions place a period of at least two years for the economy to stand up again, let alone recovery to the pre-Covid-19 level.
经济复苏将非常缓慢。预测至少要花两年时间才能使经济再次站起来,更不用说恢复到Covid-19之前的水平了。
Coronavirus has affected almost the entire western world, almost the entire Peoples’ Republic of China, and many other countries including those in South East Asia. It is difficult to see international travel going back to the days of 2019. Tourism will be virtually dead for the next few years. Property prices will tumble at least for a period of two years.
冠状病毒已影响到几乎整个西方世界,几乎整个中华民国以及包括东南亚国家在内的许多其他国家。很难看到国际旅行可以追溯到2019年。在接下来的几年中,旅游业实际上将死掉。房地产价格将至少下跌两年。
There is apparently no vaccine in sight. 显然看不到疫苗.
We need to pray to the God we know for His mercy. 我们需要向我们所知道的上帝的怜悯祈祷。
