青岛希尼尔翻译公司（www.sinosenior.com）2016年3月5日了解到：Google’s
charitable arm has donated $1m (?710,000) to Unicef to help stop the
spread of the Zika virus.
谷歌的慈善部门捐赠了一百万美元给联合国儿童基金会，以帮助停止寨卡病毒的传播。
The virus is suspected to be linked to a large number of babies born
with underdeveloped brains in Brazil.
该病毒被认为导致巴西大量新生儿大脑发育畸形。
In February, the World Health Organization declared the Zika virus a
global public health emergency.
今年二月，世界卫生组织宣布寨卡病毒已经成为全球公共卫生危机。
Google said its grant would help to raise awareness, reduce mosquito
populations and support the development of vaccines.
谷歌称，这项捐款将用于提高防范意识、减少蚊虫数量和支持疫苗开发等方面。
"Today we have Google engineers working with Unicef to analyse data,
to determine how to map and anticipate the virus," the company said in a
blog post.
“今天我们的谷歌工程师和联合国儿童基金会一起分析数据，确定如何认清并对抗该病毒。”谷歌的一篇博客写道。
The firm’s team of volunteers is designing open-source software that
will be able to collate data, such as weather and travel information, to
help predict how Zika may spread.
公司的志愿者团队正在开发一组开源软件，用以检查数据，比如天气及出行信息，用以预测寨卡病毒是如何传播的。
Google said it had also updated its search engine to display detailed
information about Zika - available in 16 languages - for visitors to the
US and other countries.
谷歌称其已更新了搜索引擎，显示关于寨卡的详情，这些信息以分别16种语言显示，便于去美国及其他国家的旅游者了解。
The company is also working with popular YouTube channels in Latin
America to produce information videos about the virus.
该公司同时和拉丁美洲的YouTube合作，制作关于该病毒的视频。
The World Health Organisation has identified the Zika virus as a
serious global threat, in the same category of importance as Ebola.
世界卫生组织确认寨卡病毒是严重的全球性威胁，其严重性与埃博拉病毒为同一类别。
But unlike Ebola, where aid organisations focused on getting "boots on
the ground" to treat patients and prevent transmission, with Zika the
attention is on understanding the virus’ link with microcephaly.
但是区别于埃博拉，援助机构的工作重心是在疫区救治病人和预防传播，对抗寨卡的着重点则是理解该病毒和小头畸形的关联。
Microcephaly is when a baby is born with an unusually small head, as
the brain has not developed properly.
小头畸形导致出生的婴儿头部小，大脑发育不全。
