艾滋病的防治

  A：王先生，早上好!非常感谢您抽时间接受我们的采访。请您介绍一下中国目前艾滋病传播情况。

  B：Well, in China, HIV/AIDS has become a very serious problem related to social development. There’ve been cases of people being accidentally infected with HIV/AIDS, through accepting contaminated blood from hospitals, babies acquiring the disease from their mothers, having improper sexual relationships. From the time we discovered the first AIDS patient in 1985, our country has entered a period of rapid increase in AIDS infections. Experts estimate that more than 900,000 people had been infected with HIV by the end of last year. If we don’t take some efficient measures, this number will double by 2010.

  A: 您认为增长这么快的主要原因在哪里?

  B：First, because of poverty, people lack education ａｎｄ　information about the prevention of HIV/AIDS. Second, ignorance. People do not pay much attention to this problem. Third, they lack proper resources, things like training, money ａｎｄ　information. According to reports, we do not yet have an efficient medicine to cure HIV/AIDS.

  A: 政府已经采取了哪些具体的措施来控制艾滋病在中国的蔓延呢?有什么国际合作吗?

  B：We have already got very strong support from the international community, especially on the technical side. ａｎｄ　on the domestic front, we’ve recognized that making our people understａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　raising their awareness is very important. So, common sense, health education ａｎｄ　behavioral changes are the only way fｏｒpeople to avoid HIV infection.

  A: 贵国政府在发布警报以及增强公众对艾滋病传播危险性的认识方面一直都在怎么做?特别是在农村地区?您认为要解决这个问题还应该进一步做些什么?

  B: Firstly, I think the government should improve our monitoring system, ａｎｄ　secondly, NGOs should try their best to mobilize all the resources we can use to help the people, especially people at the grass roots ａｎｄ　the rural areas, to let them know the terrible results of the spreading of the disease ａｎｄ　how to prevent HIV/AIDS. I think we should do more advocacy work among the people.

  A: 非常感谢您回答我们这么多问题。预祝你们在与艾滋病的斗争中取得成功。

  B：Thank you.
