中英对照:加国公众不满疫苗接种慢如蜗牛 政府慵懒抗疫

Politicians’ dismissive attitude results in Canada’s slow rollout of vaccination campaign

未能在去年春季及时建立一套完整的测试,追踪系统的加国遭到更为凶猛的二波疫情袭击,给加国经济和大众生活带来重创。疫苗的到来给加国人士带来希望,他们渴望加拿大能在政府强有力的领导下展开一场迅速而有效免疫运动,将新冠病毒一网打尽。但是,加拿大的疫苗注射进程开展缓慢,远远落后全球最疫苗注射最快的国家以色列。加国政府的反复失误引发公众强烈不满和质疑:为什么加拿大在对抗击新冠瘟疫过程中总是缺乏紧迫感?为什么加国领导人总以慵懒,消极的态度对待新冠的袭击?
 
Canada's failed effort in building the test-and-trace system last spring saw a more aggressive second wave wreaking havoc on the economy and Canadian lives. As the vaccine's arrival brings hopes, Canadians expected a more decisive government leadership in rolling out a successful immunization campaign. However, Canada is slow in getting shots into people's arms, lagging far behind Israel, the leading country across the globe. The governments' repeated missteps have prompted burning questions: Why Canada lacks a sense of urgency in Covid 19 responses? Why our political leaders fight the virus with a shocking lassitude?

在战乱中饱经风霜的以色列目前已为900万人口中的100万人注射了新冠疫苗(图),使该国一跃成为全球疫苗接种率最高的国家(每100人中有11.55人接种了疫苗)。视病毒为敌,疫苗为武器的以色列政府将战备紧迫感融入疫苗接种运动中。他们的疫苗采购进程始于数月之前,远远早于世界多个国家和地区。在这场全国性疫苗运动中,以色列政府招募了700名军事护理人员参与疫苗分发和接种,每日接种剂量高达15万剂!以此速度该国在二月底前将有500万人接种了疫苗,从而实现早期的群体免疫!
 
Israel has already rolled out 1 million doses of Pfizer vaccine for its 9 million-population, leaving the country at the highest vaccine rate (11.55 doses per 100 people) across the Globe. Israel, a war-torn country, treats the virus as enemies in battle, infusing urgency into their covid-19 efforts. The procurement process for vaccines started several months in advance, well ahead of many countries globally. It has mobilized a nationwide inoculation campaign, recruiting 700 military paramedics to join the vaccine distribution.  At the rate of injecting 150,000 Israelis a day, five million people will get the shots by the end of Feb., allowing the country to achieve early-stage of herd immunity. 
 
与以色列相比,加拿大接种速度慢如蜗牛。加国目前接种率仅为每100人中的0.26人,比以色列慢44倍。当以色列基本用完库存疫苗时,加国还有30万剂存在冰箱里。三个星期内,加国总共接种了12万人,还不及比以色列一天接种量!
 
In comparison, Canada's inoculation rate was at 0.26, 44 times slower than Israel.  When Israel had almost run out of vaccine, Canada had 300,000 doses sitting in the freezer. It immunized only a total of 120,000 people for over three weeks, fewer than Israel's injected doses a day.

当以色列拿到大批疫苗针剂时,加国才刚刚开始向各地发送疫苗。当900万人口的以色列建立了150个疫苗接种站,具有1450万人口的安省仅仅有17个疫苗诊所。当以色列政府将全民接种运动推向高潮之际,安省却将接种工作搁置去享受圣诞假期!虽有9万6000剂疫苗闲置库存,安省的17家疫苗接种站中仅5家在圣诞假期开门营业。
 
When Israel secured massive vaccine doses, Canada's deliveries just began to trickle in. While Israel has 150 vaccination clinics for 9 million people, Ontario, with a population of 14.5 million, has only 17 vaccination stations across the province. When the drive for Israel's immunization campaign was at its highest pitch, Ontario put its vaccination programs on hold to enjoy the Christmas holidays. When 70% of the 96,000 doses sat in the freezers, only five of 17 vaccination clinics across the province were in operation during the holidays. 
 
安省每日新冠感染人数不断冲破新高,而Covid新毒株正以惊人的速度传播着新冠病毒。如此缓慢的接种速度无疑是疫苗接种战的大敌,必将安省引向深渊。但当加国在新冠疫情困境中苦苦挣扎,难以自拔之际,很多政客却在休闲度假,抑或享受着加勒比海的日光浴,抑或在墨西哥坎昆的度假胜地饮酒狂欢。
 
The record-breaking number of daily cases and the alarming emergence of new Covid variants prompt the lightening fast quest for vaccinations. The delay in getting the shots into people's arms creates vaccine nightmare scenarios. While the country was grappling with a rapidly escalating pandemic crisis, many politicians took a getaway vacation, bathing in the sunshine of Caribbean Island, or drinking wine in the best resort in Cancun, Mexico.
 
不满的安省省民称,省政府在疫苗接种战中的慵懒态度与其在病毒测试项目中的不佳表现遥相呼应。就像他们错过了通过建立测试-追踪系统中消灭病毒的良机,目前正在浪费着通过大面积接种疫苗来控制日益猖獗的瘟疫之宝贵时光。一名读者在给《环球邮报》信中写道:“在这关键时刻我们却以慵懒的步伐步步走向灾难,我们将为政府的平庸抗疫行动付出代价!”
 
Queens Park's slothful performance in the vaccination campaign mirrors the mediocrity of its testing program, condemned Ontarians. Just like Ontario missed the opportunity to curtail the virus in spring by using its test-trace system, it squanders the time to keep the pandemic under control through a mass immunization campaign. "We seem to be sleepwalking into a disaster. We are paying the price for a mediocre government response to the Covid-19 crisis," wrote a reader in a letter to the Globe.
 
正是加国政府的这种官僚作风和政客对其臣民不屑一顾的消极态度导致了加国抗疫的失败,并有负加国大众的期望。没有一种以民众利益为首的真诚信念,并具备一颗为民众服务的拳拳之心,加国政府是根本无法领导全国赢得这场抗疫战争的!
 
The governments' bureaucracy and politicians' deeply entrenched dismissive attitude towards its citizens have caused Canada’s Covid-19 failures and let Canadians down. To lead the country to win the Covid war, they need to act on behalf of Canadians wholeheartedly and with an intense earnest.
