SUMMARY：
对于埃博拉病毒我们还没准备好！
CONTENT：
You discovered the Ebola virus in 1976. How?
My lab received a blood sample from a Belgian nun who had died in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). She was diagnosed with yellow fever, but when we isolated the virus, it didn't look like anything we knew. Under the electron microscope it looked like a worm.
Then we got news from the World Health Organization of a major epidemic with a very high mortality rate in Zaire. We were told to stop all investigations because our lab wasn't equipped to deal with dangerous viruses. So we sent the virus to the US Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. They confirmed that it was a new virus.
What happened next?
The next step was to figure out how the virus was transmitted and to stop the epidemic. So I went with a team to the epidemic zone in the equatorial forest in the northern part of Zaire. It was my first time ever in Africa, and I was just 27 so I had zero experience. But we did the detective work, unravelling how this virus was spreading.

参考译文1：
您在1976年是如何发现埃博拉病毒的？
当时我的实验室收到了一份来自一位死于扎伊尔（也就是现在的刚果民主共和国）的修女的的血液样本。她被诊断为黄热病，但是当我们分离出病毒时，似乎是我们从未见过的一种病毒，这种病毒在电子显微镜下的形态像蠕虫。然后我们收到来自世界卫生组织的消息，在扎伊尔正流行着一种致死率非常高的疾病。我们被告知停止一切研究因为我们的实验室当时不具备处理危险病毒的设施。于是我们将样本送往美国亚特兰大疾病控制中心。他们确认这是一种新型病毒。
接下来发生了什么？
接下来的步骤就是找出该病毒的传播途径，阻止其传播。于是我便跟随一支调查小队深入发病流行区，位于扎伊尔北部的赤道森林。那是我第一次到非洲，当时我27岁什么经验也没有。但是我们开展了调查工作，研究这种病毒是如何传播的。
