　　MERS is an infection of the lungs caused by a virus known as a coronavirus and is written as MERS-CoV.

　　Coronaviruses can cause illness similar to the common cold in the winter months. This coronavirus is different than these viruses and has never been seen in humans before.

　　Most people who became ill with MERS had traveled to, lived in, or were in close contact with someone who had traveled to the Arabian Peninsula.

　　Most people who got infected with MERS became severely ill with a respiratory illness with symptoms such as: fever, cough, shortness of breath.

　　中東呼吸綜合征是由一種冠狀病毒引起的肺部感染疾病，也叫做MERS-Cov。

　　冠狀病毒能在冬季引起類似感冒的疾病，但這種冠狀病毒與感冒病毒不同，此前未曾在人類身上發(fā)現(xiàn)過。

　　大多數(shù)患中東呼吸綜合征的人都曾經(jīng)到過或居住在阿拉伯半島地區(qū)，又或者與到訪過該地區(qū)的人有過密切接觸。

　　大多數(shù)患者會(huì)表現(xiàn)出嚴(yán)重的呼吸系統(tǒng)疾病癥狀，包括：發(fā)燒、咳嗽以及呼吸急促。

　　【講解】

　　文中的MERS就是“中東呼吸綜合征”的意思，即為Middle East Respiratory Syndrome，其中syndrome意為“綜合征”，是醫(yī)學(xué)術(shù)語，指機(jī)體同時(shí)出現(xiàn)的一系列癥狀，如：Lemon juice can help to prevent economy-class syndrome by improving blood circulation. (檸檬汁能夠改善血液循環(huán)，有助于預(yù)防經(jīng)濟(jì)艙綜合征。)

　　最后一句中的infect是及物動(dòng)詞，意為“傳染，感染”，后面常接with表示“把……傳染給……”，如：The water was infected with germs. (這些水被細(xì)菌污染了。)
