Now let's get started.
现在，让我们开始吧。
Our headline, what we know about Hantavirus cases tied to deadly cruise ship outbreak.
我们的头条新闻是：关于与那艘致命游轮疫情相关的汉坦病毒病例的现有了解。
So this is a ship.
所以，这是一艘船。
What type of ship?
这是什么类型的船？
It's a cruise ship.
这是一艘游轮。
It's a ship you use to go on cruises.
这是一艘用于乘船游览的船只。
So cruise, that's what you can use as the verb, you go on cruises.
所以，“cruise”（乘游轮旅行）就可以用作动词，表示人们会去乘游轮旅行。
Or you could say this year we're
或者你也可以这样说：今年我们……
going on a cruise to Alaska, for example, and an outbreak suggests that there's a sudden and potentially widespread of something dangerous.
例如，如果人们正在阿拉斯加乘坐游轮旅行，而突然爆发的疫情表明某种危险物质正在迅速且可能广泛地传播。
And in this case, that something dangerous is a virus called hantavirus.
在这种情况下，这种危险物质是一种名为汉坦病毒的病毒。
Let's read this again.
我们再读一遍吧。
What we know about.
我们所了解到的……
Notice this isn't a question form.
请注意，这并不是一种提问的形式。
The question form would be what do we know about?
问题的形式可以是：“关于……我们了解些什么？
What do we know about hantavirus?
我们对汉坦病毒了解多少？
What do you know about going on a cruise?
你对乘游轮旅行了解多少？
So that would be the question, but here it's a statement.
那么，这本来应该是一个问题，但实际上这里给出的是一个陈述而已。
What we know about hantavirus cases tied to.
关于与汉坦病毒相关的病例，我们所了解的情况如下：
So tied to this is the same as connected to or linked to, which means you have people on a cruise getting sick,
与此密切相关的是“connected to”或“linked to”这一概念，它们表示在游轮上旅行的人可能会生病。
you have hantavirus.
你感染了汉坦病毒。
They're not 2 separate things in some way they're related.
它们并不是完全独立的两个事物，而是彼此之间存在某种联系的。
They're connected.
它们是相互连接的。
So that's tied to.
所以这与……有关联。
So because this is written in statement form, we know that the article will give us that information.
由于这篇文章是以陈述的形式写成的，我们可以确定它会提供我们所需要的信息。
It will tell us what they know about hantavirus.
它会告诉我们他们对于汉坦病毒了解多少信息。
Don't worry about taking these notes.
别担心记这些笔记的事情。
I summarize everything in a free lesson PDF.
我把所有内容都总结在一份免费的课程PDF文件中。
You can find the link in the description.

Now let's keep reading.
现在，让我们继续阅读吧。
Health officials around the world are monitoring a deadly hantavirus outbreak.
世界各地的卫生官员正在密切关注一场致命的汉坦病毒疫情的蔓延情况。
Linked to.
已关联。
So remember we have tied to, but I said you could also use connected to.
所以请记住，我们已经使用了“tied to”这个表达方式；不过我也说过，你也可以使用“connected to”来表达同样的意思。
Linked to it means the same thing.
Linked to it” 的意思与前者相同。
It means there's a relationship between AB whatever A&B are.
这意味着无论 A 和 B 是什么，它们之间都存在某种关系。
In this case, it's the virus and the people on the ship getting sick linked to a Dutch flagged cruise ship.
在这种情况下，问题出在病毒以及船上乘客的生病情况上；这艘游轮悬挂的是荷兰国旗。
So a Dutch flagged cruise ship means that the cruise ship operates under the laws and regulations of the country of origin,
因此，一艘悬挂荷兰国旗的游轮意味着该游轮需遵守其所在国的法律和法规。
