尽管疫苗的出现降低了新冠死亡率，全球新冠死亡人数从400万增加到500万相比从300万增加到400万用时更长，但是全球的疫情形势仍然不容乐观。
欧洲的新冠病例还在不断增加，俄罗斯的单日新增病例和死亡人数创下了疫情暴发以来的新高，还有许多贫困国家的疫苗接种率极低。世卫组织警告称，疫情离结束还早得很。

More than five million people are known to have died of Covid-19 worldwide, 19months since the pandemic began, according to Johns Hopkins University.
约翰斯·霍普金斯大学的数据显示，疫情暴发19个月以来，世界范围内已有超500万人死于新冠肺炎。
Vaccines have slowed the death rate, but some health experts say the true tollcould be far higher.
虽然疫苗延缓了死亡率的增长，但是一些卫生专家表示，真实死亡人数可能比这个数字高得多。
The milestone comes amid warnings from health officials that cases and deathsin some places are rising for the first time in months.
就在新冠死亡人数破500万之际，卫生官员警告称，一些地区的新增病例和死亡人数数月以来首次出现增长。
Nearly 250 million cases of the virus have been recorded worldwide.
世界范围内记录的新冠确诊病例已达到了近2.5亿例。
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the pandemic's real global deathtoll could be two to three times higher than official records.
据世界卫生组织估计，真实的全球新冠死亡人数可能比官方记录数据高两到三倍。
How much testing individual countries carry out will have a bearing on theirdeath figures. Very few deaths have occurred in Africa, for example, comparedto other continents and this is likely to be one factor.
一个国家开展新冠病毒检测的频率将会影响该国的新冠死亡数据。举例而言，相比其他大陆，非洲的新冠死亡人数很低，检测频率可能是其中一个因素。
In the US, more than 745,800 people have died, making it the country with thehighest number of recorded deaths.
美国已有超74万5800人死于新冠肺炎，这使美国成为报告新冠死亡人数最高的国家。
It is followed by Brazil, with 607,824 recorded deaths, and India, with458,437. But health experts believe these numbers are under reported, partlybecause of deaths at home and those in rural communities.
仅次于美国的是巴西和印度，新冠死亡人数分别达到60万7824人和45万8437人。但是卫生专家认为真实死亡人数不止这些，部分原因是有些患者在家中或农村社区去世，死亡数据没有上报。
It has taken the world longer to reach the latest one million deaths than theprevious two.
这次全球新冠死亡人数新增100万比前两次用时更长。
It took over 110 days to go from four million deaths to five million. That iscompared to just under 90 days to rise from three million to four million.
全球新冠死亡人数从400万增加到500万用了110多天的时间。相比之下，从300万增加到400万只用了不到90天的时间。

While vaccines have helped reduce the fatality rate, the WHO warned last weekthat the pandemic was 'far from over'.
尽管疫苗有助于降低死亡率，但是世卫组织上周警告称，疫情还“远远没有结束”。
Its director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus pointed to a rise in cases inEurope, where countries with low vaccination rates are seeing soaringinfections and deaths.
世卫组织总干事谭德塞指出，欧洲的新冠病例数量还在增长，其中疫苗接种率低的国家感染和死亡人数大增。
Last week, Russia recorded its highest number of daily cases and deaths sincethe start of the pandemic. Russia accounts for 10% of the last million deathsrecorded globally.
上周，俄罗斯报告了疫情暴发以来最高的单日新增病例数量和死亡人数。在全球新增的100万新冠死亡人数中，俄罗斯占据了10%。
Bulgaria and Romania have some of the world's worst Covid mortality rates, andtheir hospitals are struggling to cope. They have the two lowest vaccine ratesin the European Union.
保加利亚和罗马尼亚的新冠死亡率是全世界最高的，两国的医院都已经不堪重负。这两个国家的疫苗接种率也是欧盟最低的。
More than seven billion vaccine doses have been administered worldwide, butthere is a gap between rich and poor nations.
目前全球已接种逾70亿剂疫苗，但是富裕国家和贫困国家的疫苗接种率差距很大。
Only 3.6% of people in low income countries have been vaccinated, according toOxford University's Our World in Data.
牛津大学以数据看世界网站称，低收入国家仅有3.6%的人口接种了疫苗。
Dr Tedros said that if the vaccine doses had been distributed fairly, 'wewould have reached our 40% target in every country by now'.
谭德塞博士表示，如果疫苗被公平分配，“我们现在应该已经达到了各国疫苗接种率40%的目标。”
'The pandemic persists in large part because inequitable access to toolspersists,' he said.
他说：“疫情还在持续，很大程度上是因为疫苗分配不均。”
Vaccines have allowed many countries to gradually open up, with most of theworld now easing restrictions.
疫苗允许多个国家逐步开放国门，现在世界大部分国家已经开始放松限制措施。
On Monday, Australia reopened its borders for the first time in 19 months.
本周一（11月1日），澳大利亚19个月以来首次重开边境。

Since 2013, the "Prison Inside Me" facility in northeast Hongcheonhas hosted more than 2,000 inmates, many of them stressed office workersand students seeking relief from South Korea's demanding work and academicculture.
监狱对大多数人来说都是避之不及的地方，但对渴望从日常生活的煎熬中获得片刻休息的韩国人来说，在模拟监狱中"入狱"一天是种解脱。2013年以来，韩国东北部洪川郡的"内心牢笼"已接待逾2000名住客，其中多是不堪压力的上班族和学生，他们想要逃避韩国负担繁重的职场和课业文化。
Prison rules are strict. No talking with other inmates. No mobile phones orclocks. Clients get a blue prison uniform, a yoga mat, tea set, a pen andnotebook. They sleep on the floor. There is a small toilet inside the room,but no mirror.
这座"监狱"的规定相当严格：不得与"狱友"交谈，不准使用手机、钟表。每名"囚犯"会得到一套蓝色囚服、一块瑜伽垫、一套茶具、一支笔和记事本。他们睡在地板上，"牢房"里有一个小马桶，但没有镜子。
Some customers are wary of spending 24 or 48 hours in a prison cell, untilthey try it, co-founder of the mock prison Noh Ji-Hyang said. "After a stay inthe prison, people say, 'This is not a prison, the real prison is where wereturn to,'" she said.
这座模拟监狱的联合创始人卢智香(音)称，有些客人对在牢房里关上24或48小时持谨慎态度，直到亲身尝试"入狱"。她说："住过我们监狱的人都说，'这儿不是监狱，我们要回去的地方才是真正的监狱'。"
