China's first vaccination vehicle will hit the streets in April in Beijing and north China's Hebei province, which will allow people to receive COVID-19 shots near their residence without travelling to vaccination stations.我国首款移动疫苗接种车预计4月在北京、河北等地投用。投用后,接种新冠疫苗的人员不必再到疫苗接种点,而是疫苗接种车主动上门打疫苗。
【单词讲解】
关于“疫苗”的几个词,vaccine就是“疫苗”本身,vaccinate就是“注射疫苗、接种疫苗”这个动作,而其名词形式vaccination就是“接种疫苗”这件事。上文中的COVID-19 shots指“新冠疫苗注射”,这里的shot是相对比较口语化的表达。Shot做名词常见的意思是足球比赛中的“射门”,比如:He has the best shot on the team(他在队里射门能力最强),还有“尝试”的意思,与try类似,比如:Let's give it a shot(我们试试看)。
移动疫苗接种车配置如何?
The interior of the vaccination vehicle resembles that of a bus, but with fewer seats.移动疫苗接种车内部的格局与公交大巴车类似,但是座椅数量缩减。
The vehicle is equipped with a facial recognition system that can check the body temperature of vaccine recipients.
车上配备了人脸识别系统,可以对同时对疫苗接种人员进行测温。
The vehicle is covered by onboard Wi-Fi and 5G network for faster data transmission.
车辆专门设置车载WiFi,可接入5G网络,更快速完成信息传输。
The whole vaccination process will be carried out inside the vehicle. After getting a shot, vaccine recipients will remain under observation at a designated area outside of the vehicle.
整个接种过程都在车内完成,接种完成后可在车外留观区留观。

移动疫苗接种车研发生产方北汽福田介绍,
The manufacturer can produce 12 such vehicles in one day, allowing for large scale use in the future.生产方具备日产12辆车的产能,后期广泛使用时可以迅速进行生产。
【词汇讲解】
这里的allow for是一个固定搭配的短语,表示“顾及到,考虑到”等意思,比如:The design of the system allows for easy upgrades(有了这个系统设计,以后升级就容易了);If you allow for inflation, he's actually earning less money now than he was 10 years ago(如果把通货膨胀考虑在内,他现在挣的钱还没有10年前多)。
