Taiwan’s COVID-19 Spike Threatens to Unravel Its Success Story
臺灣COVID-19疫情爆發，可能破壞其成功故事
4.完整新聞內文:
While it’s not too late to turn the tide, Taiwan’s recent spike in
coronavirus cases has revealed flaws in the island’s internationally lauded
containment measures.
儘管現在扭轉局勢還爲時不晚，但臺灣最近冠狀病毒感染病例的激增，暴露了臺灣受到國
際讚譽的遏制措施的缺陷。
As countries around the world locked down in 2020, Taiwan shone as a beacon
of normalcy. Despite its geographical proximity to China, the island had
remarkable success in containing the coronavirus, recording zero locally
transmitted cases for an eight-month period between April and December and
avoiding business and school closures.
在2020年世界各國陷入封鎖之際，臺灣閃耀着一盞正常的燈塔。儘管地理位置靠近中國，
但臺灣在遏制新冠肺炎疫情方面取得了顯著成功，在4月至12月的8個月時間裏，沒有記錄
到任何本土傳播病例，也沒有關閉企業和學校。
That’s all over now. Taiwan has recorded 1,824 domestic infections since May
14. Before that date, it had recorded a total of only 135 local infections.
The government has instituted a nationwide public mask mandate, along with
new restrictions on businesses and public gatherings.
現在一切都結束了。自5月14日以來，臺灣已有1824例國內感染病例。在此之前，當地總
共只有135例感染病例。政府已經在全國範圍內制定了一項公衆佩戴口罩的規定，同時還
對商業活動和公衆集會進行了新的限制。
“The outbreak is still at its peak,” Health Minister Chen Shih-chung said
at a Friday news conference.
衛生部部長陳時中在週五的記者會上說:「疫情仍處於高峰期。」
Taiwan has faced both domestic and international pressure to respond to its
first true domestic COVID-19 outbreak. Taiwan’s government had touted its
success in combating the virus to help boost its international presence and
win support from new allies as it combats an increasingly belligerent Chinese
regime. The island’s semiconductor manufacturers are also being pressed to
ramp up production to combat a global chip shortage, an effort which has
already been exacerbated by Taiwan’s worst drought in decades.
臺灣首次真正應對國內新冠肺炎疫情，面臨國內外雙重壓力。在與日益好戰的中國大陸政
權作戰時，臺灣政府曾吹噓自己在抗擊病毒方面取得的成功，有助於增強其國際存在感，
並贏得新盟友的支持。臺灣的半導體製造商也面臨着增產的壓力，以應對全球芯片短缺，
而臺灣數十年來最嚴重的乾旱已經加劇了全球芯片短缺的局面。
Things began to unravel when an outbreak emerged in April at the Novotel
airport hotel at Taoyuan International Airport, which had been used to house
quarantining pilots. Taiwan last month reduced quarantine requirements for
non-vaccinated pilots to three days. But the hotel put some pilots and crew
members in a second building used to house domestic guests.
今年4月，桃園國際機場的諾富特機場旅館爆發疫情後，情況開始明朗。該酒店曾被用作
隔離飛行員的住所。臺灣上月將未接種疫苗試點的檢疫要求降至三天。但該旅館將一些機
師和機組人員安置在另一棟用於接待國內客人的建築裏。
The city government of Taoyuan, where the hotel is located, said last week it
had received a public complaint in February that the Novotel was being “used
illegally.”
該旅館所在的桃園市政府上週表示，它在2月份收到了民眾投訴，稱諾富特旅館被「非法
使用」。但政府直到5月8日才對該酒店進行罰款，此前臺灣已經記錄了29例與該旅館疫情
有關的病例。
The virus eventually spread to the “tea houses” of Taipei’s Wanhua
district – adult entertainment venues that were frequented by infected
pilots and crew members. Chen Chien-jen, an epidemiologist and Taiwan’s
former vice president, told the BBC that contact tracing was made difficult
as people who tested positive were unwilling to declare they had visited the
tea houses.
病毒最終蔓延到臺北萬華區的“茶館”——受感染的機師和機組人員經常光顧的成人娛樂
場所。流行病學家、臺灣前副總統陳建仁(Chen Chien-jen)告訴英國廣播公司(BBC)，由
於檢測呈陽性的人不願宣佈他們去過茶館，因此很難追蹤接觸者。
Taiwan’s Control Yuan, a government ombudsman body, said Friday it would
look into the tea houses and investigate why authorities had not cracked down
on them. A sex worker advocacy group, meanwhile, urged the public to stop
discriminating against workers at the tea houses, saying they have long been
a part of the district’s economy and offer many services that are not
related to sex.
臺灣政府監察機構監察院星期五說，將調查這些茶館，並調查當局爲什麼沒有對它們進行
打擊。與此同時，一個性工作者維權組織敦促民衆停止歧視茶館工作人員，稱茶館長期以
來一直是該地區經濟的一部分，提供許多與性無關的服務。
Taiwan has also come under scrutiny for its long-standing strategy of
administering few COVID-19 tests, even among those who show symptoms. This
helped create a sentiment that Taiwan would remain free from the virus as
long as it did not penetrate the country’s borders.
臺灣也因其長期以來很少進行COVID-19檢測的策略而受到關注，即使是對有症狀的人也不
進行檢測。這助長了一種情緒，即只要病毒不擴散到臺灣，臺灣就不會受到病毒的影響。
But locally transmitted cases of the virus are now continuing to increase and
have spread to several hospitals. Taiwan’s cabinet said Friday it had not yet
reached the criteria to institute a full lockdown, but some city mayors have
told their citizens to prepare for further restrictions on activity.
但當地傳播的病毒病例目前仍在繼續增加，並已擴散到幾家醫院。臺灣行政院週五表示，
尚未達到全面封鎖的標準，但一些城市的市長已經告訴市民，要爲進一步限制活動做好準
備。
Taiwan has struggled to obtain vaccines, and the domestic rollout has been
slow. Chen, the health minister, urged the United States on Friday to provide
assistance in obtaining COVID-19 vaccines, which one Taiwanese diplomat in
New York has argued will help protect the island’s semiconductor industry.
臺灣一直在努力獲得疫苗，國內的推廣也一直緩慢。臺灣衛生部長陳時中週五敦促美國提
供援助，以獲得COVID-19疫苗。一名駐紐約的臺灣外交官表示，這將有助於保護臺灣的半
導體行業。
