But history offers a dark warning to anyone ready to write off the 2009 H1N1 virus. 译 文： ┌───┬───────────────────────────────── │第二段│ └───┘ 　原　文： 　In each of the four major pandemics since 1889, a spring wave of relatively 　mild illness was followed by a second wave, a few months later, of a much 　more virulent disease. This was true in 1889, 1957, 1968 and in the 　catastrophic flu outbreak of 1918, which sickened an estimated third of 　the world's population and killed, conservatively, 50 million people. 　译　文： ┌───┬───────────────────────────────── │第三段│ └───┘ 　原　文： 　Lone Simonson, an epidemiologist at the National Institutes of Health, 　who has studied the course of prior pandemics in both the United States 　and her native Denmark, says, "The good news from past pandemics, 　in several experiences, is that the majority of deaths have happened not 　in the first wave, but later." Based on this, Simonson suggests there may 　be time to develop an effective vaccine before a second, more virulent 　strain, begins to circulate. 　译　文： ┌───┬───────────────────────────────── │第四段│ └───┘ 　原　文： 　As swine flu -- also known as the 2009 version of the H1N1 flu strain -- 　spreads, Simonson and other health experts are diving into the history 　books for clues about how the outbreak might unfold -- and, more 　importantly, how it might be contained. In fact, the official Pandemic 　Influenza Operation Plan, or O-Plan, of the U.S. Centers for Disease 　Control and Prevention, is based in large part on a history lesson -- 　research organized by pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard 　Markel of the University of Michigan. 　译　文： ┌───┬───────────────────────────────── │第五段│ └───┘ 　原　文： 　A cheerful man with thick-rimmed black glasses and a professor's manner, 　Markel was tapped by the CDC to study what worked and what didn't during 　the 1918 flu disaster. Markel and colleagues examined 43 cities and found 　that so-called nonpharmaceutical interventions -- steps such as quarantines 　and school closings -- were remarkably successful in tamping down the 　outbreak. "They don't make the population immune, but they buy you time, 　either by preventing influenza from getting into the community or slowing 　down the spread," Markel told CNN. 　译　文： ┌───┬───────────────────────────────── │第六段│ └───┘ 　原　文： 　Markel describes a dramatic example in the mining town of Gunnison, 　Colorado. In 1918, town leaders built a veritable barricade, closing 　down the railroad station and blocking all roads into town. Four thousand 　townspeople lived on stockpiled supplies and food from hunting or fishing. 　For three and a half months, while influenza raged in nearly every city 　in America, Gunnison saw not a single case of flu -- not until the spring, 　when roads were reopened and a handful of residents fell sick. 　译　文： ╔════╗ ║题目结尾╠════════════════════════════════ ╰════╯ --
