Daegu has held onto its defensive habits three months after it was one of the hardest-hit cities in the world
南韓大邱是全球遭疫情重創最嚴重的城市之一，三個月後仍嚴守防疫模式。
-hold onto: 緊抓著不放
-habit: 習慣
-hard-hit: 遭嚴重打擊、災難影響
🇰🇷South Korea experienced the biggest Covid-19 outbreak apart from China in February and March. Daegu’s single-day peak of 741 cases on Feb. 29 surpassed that of any other city in the world that day. South Korea succeeded at flattening the infection curve, in Daegu and elsewhere, by testing widely and using tech-heavy tactics to trace the disease across the population.
中國除外，南韓在二、三月時經歷了最大的新冠疫情爆發，大邱在2月29日達單日741人確診的高峰，超越當天全球的其他任何城市。南韓藉由大量檢測、使用高科技對策追蹤疫情在人口中的擴散，成功趨緩大邱和其他地方的感染率。
-peak: 高峰、頂點，也可當動詞：到達高點
-flatten the curve: 壓扁（成長）曲線，在此指趨緩疫情
-tech-heavy: technology-heavy，形容科技含量很重
🏙Social-distancing measures were relaxed nationwide in early May. But in recent weeks, fresh clusters totaling hundreds of cases have emerged largely in the Seoul metropolitan area, at logistic centers, night clubs and schools. Daegu, about 180 miles southeast of Seoul, has kept operating much as it did when it was South Korea’s outbreak center.
五月初，全國已放寬保持社交距離的措施，但近幾週出現了上百件新的集體感染案例，主要發生在首爾市區，物流中心、夜店和學校。離首爾180英里的大邱仍維持著防疫措施，跟當地先前為南韓的疫情爆發中心點時一樣。
-metropolitan: 首都的、大都市的
-cluster: 簇、串、群落
-logistic center: 物流中心，logistic是後勤、物流
😷Daegu residents must wear face masks in public, rather than follow the national policy that only suggests people use them. Locals are required to get tested immediately if they show any virus symptoms, such as coughing, rather than stay home when feeling ill as the broader guidelines recommend. Daegu still conducts more than 2,000 Covid-19 tests a day.
大邱市民必須在公共場所戴口罩，而非遵照僅建議人民使用口罩的全國政策。當地人若出現像咳嗽等病症，必須立刻接受檢測，而非如一般建議當生病時待在家，大邱每天仍進行超過兩千起新冠病毒的檢測。
-symptom: 症狀、徵兆
-recommend: 推薦、提倡
-conduct: 進行
未完待續...
我們能如何借鏡大邱市的嚴謹態度呢？
