世卫组织强调新冠病毒来自大自然

周五，世界卫生组织重申新型冠状病毒来源于自然。

Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO Health Emergencies Program, told a virtual press conference from Geneva that scientists ho are examining the geic sequences of the virus have assured "again and again that this virus is natural in origin."

世卫组织卫生紧急项目负责人 迈克尔·瑞安在新冠肺炎疫情例行发布会上表示，经过许多已查看（病毒）基因序列的科学家确认，确信新冠病毒来自自然界。

Ansering a question from the press, Ryan said that for WHO the real question no is hat the natural host for this virus is and ho the animal human species barrier as breached.

瑞安表示，当前最重要的问题是确定其自然宿主，以更多了解病毒，了解它是如何打破人与动物间的传播障碍的。

"The purpose of the understanding is that e can put in place the necessary prevention and public health measures to prevent that happening again," he said.

他说，“这样做的目的是采取必要的公共卫生预防措施，确保此类情况不再发生。”

Last month, the WHO said that all available evidence has suggested that the ne coronavirus has an animal origin, and is not a virus "manipulated or constructed" in a lab or somehere else.

上个月，世界卫生组织表示，所有现有证据表明，新型冠状病毒来源于动物，而不是在实验室或其他地方“操纵或构建”的病毒。

WHO spokesperson Fadela Chaib told a press conference on April 21 that there is certainly an intermediary host, another animal, that transmitted the disease from bats to humans.

世卫组织发言人法德拉·查艾比（Fadela Chaib）在4月21日的新闻发布会上说，肯定存在中间宿主，另一种动物，将这种病从蝙蝠传播给人类。

"WHO is, as I said, a science-based anization, and e think the origin is animal," the spokesperson said, "It (the novel coronavirus) most probably has its ecological reservoir in bats, but ho the virus came from bat to human is still to be seen, to be discovered."

发言人说“如我所说，世卫组织是一个科学组织，我们认为其起源是动物。它（新型冠状病毒）很可能在蝙蝠中具有生态储藏空间，但这种病毒是如何从蝙蝠传到人类的，仍然有待观察和发现。”

She pledged that the WHO eles all countries to support efforts to find the origin of the virus, noting that several orking groups, including Chinese experts, are very active trying to find the origin of this virus.

她表示，世卫组织欢迎所有国家支持寻找该病毒起源的努力，并指出包括中国专家在内的几个工作组都在积极寻找该病毒的起源。
