Boris Johnson said he was very confident that the current vaccines delivered a high degree of protection against serious illness on Professor Jonathan Van Tam, whose England's deputy chief medical officer said it was unlikely in his view that the South African variant would become dominant here in the short term.

鮑里斯-約翰遜說，他非常有信心，目前的疫苗在喬納森-範-塔姆教授身上提供了高度的保護，防止嚴重的疾病，英格蘭的副首席醫療官說，在他看來，南非的變種不太可能在短期內成為這裡的主導。

Now tonight in England, people aged 70 or older who haven't yet being called for their vaccination are being asked to contact the NHS to book an appointment.

現在今晚在英國，70歲以上的老人如果還沒有被叫去打疫苗，請聯繫NHS預約。

That was in response to a small study in South Africa which suggested the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine offered only limited protection against mild to moderate infection from the main variant there.

這是對南非的一項小型研究的迴應，該研究表明，牛津阿斯利康疫苗對那裡的主要變種的輕度至中度感染提供了有限的保護。

147 cases off the South African vary it have been detected in the UK on people in several areas like Worcester are being tested in a bid to prevent it spreading further.

你認為能不能讓南非的變種在英國基本被壓制？

The early modeling data do not suggest a transmissibility advantage for this virus on.

早期的模型數據並不能說明這種病毒在傳播性上的優勢。

Because of that, there is no reason to think the South African variant will catch up or overtake our current virus in the next few months on.

正因為如此，沒有理由認為南非的變種會在未來幾個月內趕上或超過我們目前的病毒上。

That's good news because vaccines are highly effective at protecting against the Kent variant, which is dominant here.

Focus on BBC News As we've been reporting, new vaccines are already in development to protect against the new South African variant off coronavirus, the next phase of the pandemic could increasingly become a game of catch up.

聚焦BBC新聞 正如我們一直在報道的那樣，新的疫苗已經在開發中，以防止新的南非變種關閉冠狀病毒，下一階段的流行病可能會越來越多地成為一個追趕的遊戲。

As more new variants emerge on new vaccines are developed to tackle them, our science editor, David Sugarman, considers what might lie ahead around the world.

隨著更多的新變種出現在新的疫苗上被開發出來以解決它們，我們的科學編輯大衛-舒格曼（David Sugarman）考慮了世界上可能存在的問題。

There's now a race between the virus and the vaccines between the threat of new variants on efforts to stay ahead of them on the outcome matters to us all.

現在是病毒和疫苗之間的競賽，新變種的威脅之間的努力，以保持領先於他們的結果對我們所有人都很重要。

While the first wave of countries, including the UK, should see the majority of their populations vaccinated this year, others won't reach that stage till next year, and many will have to wait for the year after or even longer.

Until we're all protected, then then it could be that a variant in another country mutates so the current vaccines are no longer effective, and that will come back.

直到我們都被保護起來了，那麼就可能是其他國家的變種變異了，所以現在的疫苗不再有效，那就會回來。

So even those people who are vaccinated they're still going to be a risk of these future future variance.

所以即使是那些接種了疫苗的人，他們仍然會有這些未來的變異的風險。

The virus is changing all the time, and when it infects human cells, it takes over and gets them to make millions of copies.

病毒無時無刻不在變化，當它感染人體細胞後，它就會接管並讓人體細胞產生數百萬份。

But they won't all be the same.

但他們不會都一樣。

Each batch may have some random genetic mistakes, mutations that air usually unimportant, but a few might prove dangerous.

每個批次可能有一些隨機的基因錯誤，突變的空氣通常不重要，但少數可能證明是危險的。

So the first task is to track these changes, and that's done by studying the genetic code of the virus Since December 2019, when it was first confirmed in Wuhan, scientists have monitored what's effectively a family tree with hundreds of different branches.

是以，第一個任務是跟蹤這些變化，這是通過研究病毒的遺傳密碼來完成的自2019年12月在武漢首次被證實以來，科學家們已經監測到這實際上是一個有數百個不同分支的家族樹。

Each of these lines represents one of the many different variants that's emerged over the course of the past year.

每一條線都代表了過去一年中出現的眾多不同變種中的一種。

And it's only by doing this genetic research that we can spot the variants that are worrying.

而只有通過這種基因研究，我們才能發現那些令人擔憂的變異。

In the UK, Brazil and South Africa, half a million British Corona virus samples have gone through genetic screening So far.

在英國、巴西和南非，到目前為止，已有50萬個英國電暈病毒樣本經過基因篩查。

Thes machines are among those that have done most of the analysis, but few countries could work on this almost industrial scale.

Thes機器是那些做了大部分分析的機器之一，但很少有國家能在這種幾乎工業化的規模上工作。

So there's a lot we don't know about how the virus is changing.

所以對於病毒的變化，我們還有很多不知道。

Any one of those additional strains around the world could confer on advantage for the virus, allow it to reinfect people even though they've been vaccinated on.

這些額外的菌株中的任何一個在世界各地可能賦予優勢的病毒，允許它重新感染的人即使他們已經接種疫苗上。
