　　The Lagos cases were traced to a traveler from Liberia, and Nigerian officials thought they hadbasically contained the spread. But the health organization’s statement said one person inLagos escaped a quarantine in early August and sought treatment from a doctor in PortHarcourt, nearly 400 miles away. That doctor became infected and developed symptoms after afew days, was hospitalized on Aug. 16 and died of Ebola less than a week later.

　　拉各斯的病例可以追溯到一名来自利比里亚的旅客身上。尼日利亚官员本来以为，他们已经基本控制住了疫情的蔓延。不过，世卫组织的声明称，拉各斯有一人在8月初逃脱了隔离，跑去近400英里(约合640公里)外的哈科特港寻求治疗。治疗此人的医生随即感染上了病毒，几天后出现症状，于8月16日入院治疗，不到一周后死于埃博拉。

　　Even as he developed symptoms, the statement said, the doctor “continued to treat patientsat his private clinic, and operated on at least two.” Moreover, the statement said, before hewas hospitalized the doctor “had numerous contacts with the community, as relatives andfriends visited his home to celebrate the birth of a baby.”

　　声明中表示，即便是在出现症状后，这名医生仍“继续在他的私人诊所中治疗病患，还至少对两人实施了手术”。此外，文中称，在入院治疗之前，这名医生“已与社群进行了多次接触，因为亲友纷纷前往他的住所庆贺一名婴儿的诞生”。

　　It said visitors to his hospital room had included members of his church who performed ahealing ritual that could have exposed them as well.

　　声明还说道，前往病房探望他的包括一些教友。这些人进行的祈祷治愈仪式也可能让他们受到病毒侵袭。

　　The other two confirmed cases in Port Harcourt are the dead doctor’s wife, who is also adoctor, and another patient at the same hospital. The W.H.O. statement said thatepidemiologists were monitoring “more than 200 contacts” and that 60 were consideredespecially vulnerable.

　　哈科特港的另外两个确诊病例分别为，身亡医生的妻子——她同样是一名医生——以及同一所医院的另一名病人。世卫组织的声明表示，流行病学专家正在监控“逾200名接触者”，其中60人被认为风险尤其高。

　　It said the Ebola outbreak in Port Harcourt had “the potential to grow larger and spread fasterthan the one in Lagos.”

　　文中称，哈科特港的埃博拉疫情“有可能比拉各斯发展得范围更广、扩散得更快”。

　　Discovered in 1976, Ebola is an aggressive virus that causes high fevers, extreme weaknessand internal bleeding, with a fatality rate as high as 90 percent.

　　于1976年发现的埃博拉病毒发病凶猛，能导致高热、极度虚弱和内出血，致死率高达90%。
