I heard the explosion when sitting on my bed. I went out of the house and I saw shattered【粉碎的】glass from buildings.

就听着坐在床上，忽悠一下子，咣一下子就爆炸了。完我们就出来看来了，看这玻璃都下来了。

More than 100 firefighters were sent to the scene. Media reports citing multiple sources said a gas pipeline had recently been laid out in the area.

Shenyang government officials said residents whose homes were damaged need to stay in safe locations provided by their local community. 

100余名消防队员已赶赴现场。据记者采访获悉，爆炸区域最近正进行燃气管网改造。爆炸是否与燃气管道的维修有关，仍有待官方调查。此外，爆炸导致线路受损，附近1.5万余户停电。断电期间，移动发电机紧急驰援。沈阳政府表示，当地社区已对事故波及居民进行妥善安置。

Last year we only needed to disinfect the exterior packaging. But this year both the inside and outside of all products need to be disinfected, and samples taken to test for the virus.

去年只是外包装消毒，今年在去年的基础上，又增加了防疫强度，内包装也要进行消毒加核酸检测。

3.U.S. SURGEONS PERFORM SUCCESSFUL PIG-TO-HUMAN ORGAN TRANSPLANT

史上首次！猪肾移植人体手术成功

US surgeons have successfully attached a pig’s kidney to a human body. The experimental procedure【手术】 is providing hope that transplants like this could be a major step in solving the shortage of organs available for transplant. Sun Siqi tells us more.

美国医生成功将猪的肾脏移植到人体。此台实验手术的成功有望解决器官供体不足的难题。

The operation was done last month at New York University’s Langone Health, one of the country’s top academic medical centers. The pig’s genes were altered so that it no longer contained a molecule known to cause immediate rejection by the human body. The patient was brain-dead and had signs of kidney problems. Her family agreed to the experiment before she was scheduled to be taken off life support. For over two days, the kidney was attached to her blood vessels. It was kept outside her body so that researchers could observe it. 

美国最为顶尖的学术医学研究院之一——纽约大学兰贡医疗中心上月实施了该手术。这颗肾脏来自一头实施过基因改造的猪，因此其器官组织内不再含有引发排质现象的物质。接受该台手术的患者为脑死亡病人，其身体出现了肾衰竭迹象。其家人同意在对病人停止生命支持前，进行肾脏移植实验。自术后两天来，为方便医生观察，猪肾一直与患者的大腿血管相连。

First of all, it made, you know, lots of urine, like the amount of urine that you would expect from a human kidney being transplanted into someone. For the 54 hours that we conducted the study, the kidney function perfectly. 

首先，猪肾产生大量尿液。排尿水平与移植的人类肾脏相当。在54小时的试验过程里，该肾脏运作相当正常。

The organ did what a kidney is supposed to do. It filtered waste, produced urine and didn’t trigger【触发】rejection.

猪肾有着人的肾脏一样的功能——过滤废物，产生尿液，并没有触发任何排异反应。

The idea is we would need to identify individuals who have a really low likelihood of being offered a human kidney and have a poor prognosis on dialysis. And where even two years or a year of a functioning kidney would be an important thing. 

我们的想法是来帮助那些不太可能获得人类肾脏的人，以及透析效果不佳的人。哪怕是拥有一两年能运作的[猪的]肾脏，对这些人来说也是弥足珍贵的。

Nearly 107,000 people are currently waiting for organ transplants and more than 90,000 are waiting for a kidney in the US. It can take three to five years for patients to receive a kidney transplant. The scientists involved in this experiment say trials with pig kidneys on critically-ill humans could happen within two years. 

目，约10.7万美国病患等待器官移植，其中超9万人等待肾脏移植。为了匹配肾脏，患者可能要等待3-5年。参与此次实验的科学家们表示，有望在两年内实现对肾衰竭晚期患者的猪肾移植手术。
