Their efforts, often creative, included making protective gear for hospitals and frontline health-care workers, producing vital equipment for saving patients’ lives, and, perhaps most importantly, supplying the funds and resources needed to develop a vaccine. Back in March, when many places began experiencing shortages of essential supplies, some companies realized they could help by adapting their production equipment to new uses. For instance, when hand sanitizer became scarce, luxury goods company LVMH, owner of high-end brands like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Givenchy, used three of its perfume factories in France to turn out tons of hand-sanitizing gel for hospital workers. Other big names in fashion, including Ralph Lauren and Carolina Herrera, contributed to relief efforts by producing face masks and medical gowns. And if the correct material wasn’t on hand, no problem. Fanatics, maker of baseball jerseys, stepped up to the plate and produced protective masks and gowns using the same material they normally use to make baseball uniforms. 當新冠病毒在今年初演變成大流行，世界各地的公司和企業領導人都立即加入了這場對抗病毒的奮戰。他們的努力通常具有創意，包括為醫院和前線醫護人員製作防護裝備、生產拯救病人生命的重要設備，以及或許是最重要的，提供研發疫苗所需的資金和資源。 在今年三月，當時許多地方開始面臨必要物資短缺，一些公司意識到他們能藉由調整生產設備改作新的用途來提供協助。舉例來說，手部消毒液供不應求時，奢侈品公司路威酩軒集團（LVMH），旗下擁有高級品牌如路易威登（Louis Vuitton）、迪奧（Christian Dior）和紀梵希（Givenchy），利用在法國的三家香水工廠生產大量的乾洗手給醫院工作人員使用。 其他知名時尚品牌包括雷夫羅倫（Ralph Lauren）和卡羅琳娜海萊拉（Carolina Herrera）生產口罩和醫療用手術袍為救援行動做出貢獻。如果手邊沒有適合的材料也不成問題。棒球衣製造商Fanatics挺身而出，使用他們平常用來製造棒球制服的相同原料來生產防護口罩和手術袍。 8/5 A vital piece of medical equipment for treating COVID-19 patients is the ventilator, a machine that helps patients breathe. As the number of gravely ill patients grew, many hospitals were experiencing drastic shortages of this much-needed device. That’s when automobile companies General Motors, Mercedes-AMG, and Tesla stepped in to help by producing these lifesaving devices. Business leaders also joined in the fight, among the most noticeable being Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who put almost one-third of his $3.6 billion fortune into a coronavirus relief fund. Meanwhile, Bill Gates, Alibaba founder Jack Ma, and others together pledged over US$1.2 billion toward various efforts. The most important goal, though, has been finding a vaccine, and here the contribution of entrepreneurs isn’t lacking either. Through his foundation, Bill Gates plans to fund the construction of factories for seven coronavirus vaccine candidates, with the goal of selecting one or two that would most likely be successful. COVID-19 has produced the biggest health and economic crisis the world has experienced in decades. It’s good to know that such companies and business leaders have, with their global reach, contributed to the fight against this disease. 治療新冠肺炎患者的一樣重要醫療器材就是呼吸器，這是幫助病人呼吸的機器。隨著重症病患數量逐漸增加，許多醫院都面臨這個迫切需要的裝置嚴重短缺。那時汽車公司通用汽車（General Motors）、AMG（Mercedes-AMG）和特斯拉（Tesla）介入幫忙生產這些救命的裝置。 企業領導人也加入這場抗戰，其中最引人注目的就是推特執行長傑克．多西，他將自己三十六億美元的財產近三分之一投入新冠病毒的救濟金。同時，比爾．蓋茲、阿里巴巴創辦人馬雲等都共同承諾了超過十二億美元用於各項行動的捐款。 不過，最重要的目標一直是找到疫苗，在此也不乏企業家的貢獻。比爾．蓋茲計畫透過他的基金會，資助七家新冠疫苗的候選廠商興建工廠，目標是從中選出一、兩家最有可能成功的。 新冠肺炎已造成數十年來全世界所面臨最大的健康和經濟危機。很高興知道有這些公司和企業領導人，以他們的全球影響力致力於對抗這個疾病。 News Report 看新聞學英語 Pandemic Could Cause Famines of “Biblical Proportions” 新冠肺炎疫情可能導致「聖經等級」饑荒 Corporate Contribution 企業回饋 Companies Jump into Coronavirus Fight 企業伸援手，共同面對新冠肺炎 Culture 文化理解 Don’t Stand So Close to Me! 個人空間停看聽 CNN News Taiwan’s Baseball Season Kicks Off—with a New Global Fan Base 台灣棒球季領先全球開打 Dialogue Focus 情境對話 A World of Animals 圖解動物英語 Going to the Zoo! 來去動物園！ Literature 文學花園 A Retrieved Reformation 〈歧路新生〉 Travel 閱讀策略 A Trip to the Fringe 熱鬧非凡的愛丁堡藝穗節 Writing 寫作練習 Translation Practice 翻譯寫作 Human Body 身體常識 Common Myths about the Immune System 免疫系統常見的迷思 People 人物側寫 Justin Bieber: Finding Happiness 小賈斯汀：浪子回頭尋找幸福 Science 科學與生活 Soap: Superhero in the Fight against Coronavirus 肥皂：對抗新冠病毒的大功臣 Plus Talk 會話百分百 Duty-Free Shopping 在免稅店購物 Global 全球議題 A World-Changing Crisis 一場改變世界的危機 Topic Writing 主題式寫作 Choosing a School Club 選擇學校社團
