Research background
2. Why was the disease called “”King Cholera?
Cholera used to be one of the most feared diseases in the world, until a British doctor, John Snow, showed how it could be overcome. This illness causes severe diarrhoea, dehydration, and even death. In the early 19th century, when an outbreak of cholera hit Europe, millions of people died from the disease. As a young doctor, John Snow became frustrated because no one knew how to prevent or treat cholera. In time, he rose to become a famous doctor, and even attended to Queen Victoria when she gave birth. However, he never lost his desire to destroy cholera once and for all.
1. Who is John Snow?
霍乱曾经是世界上最可怕的疾病之一,直到一位英国医生约翰·斯诺向我们展示了如何才能战胜霍乱。这种疾病会导致严重腹泻、脱水,甚至死亡。19世纪初,欧洲爆发霍乱,数百万人死于霍乱。作为一名年轻的医生,约翰·斯诺变得沮丧,因为没有人知道如何预防或治疗霍乱。很快,他成为了一位著名的医生,甚至在维多利亚女王分娩时照顾她。然而,他从未失去彻底消灭霍乱的愿望.

In general, doctors in those days had two contradictory theories to explain how cholera spread. One theory was that bad air caused the disease. Another was that cholera was caused by an infection from germs in food or water. Snow subscribed to the second theory. It was correct, but he still needed proof. Consequently, when an outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate. He discovered that in two particular streets the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why.
1. What are the two theories? Which theory did John Snow think was reasonable?
2. What did John Snow investigate when another outbreak hit London in 1854?
一般来说,当时的医生有两种相互矛盾的理论来解释霍乱是如何传播的。一种理论认为是空气不好导致了这种疾病。另一种说法是霍乱是由食物或水中的细菌感染引起的。斯诺赞同第二种理论。这是对的,但他还需要证据。因此,1854年伦敦爆发霍乱时,斯诺开始进行调查。他发现有两条街道的霍乱疫情非常严重,十天内有500多人死亡。他决心找出原因。

Snow began by marking on a map the exact places where all those who died had lived. There were multiple deaths near the water pump in Broad Street (especially house numbers 16, 37, 38, and 40). However, some households (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street, and 8 and 9 Cambridge8 Street) had had no deaths. These people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer, and so had not drunk the water from the pump. Snow suspected that the water pump was to blame.
Para. 3
斯诺的开始是在地图上标出所有死去的人居住过的确切地点。Broad Street的水泵附近有多人死亡(尤其是16号、37.38号和40号房子)。但是,有些家庭(如20和21 Broad Street,8和9 Cambridge)没有死亡。这些人在剑桥街7号的酒吧工作。他们得到了免费啤酒,所以没有喝水泵里的水。斯诺怀疑是水泵造成的。

What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street. It seemed that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day.As a result of this evidence, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly, he had the handle of the pump removed so that it could not be used. Through this intervention, the disease was stopped in its tracks.
Para. 3
更糟糕的是,在伦敦的另一个地方,一名妇女和她的女儿在离开布罗德街后死于霍乱。这个女人似乎非常喜欢水泵里的水,所以她每天都要把水送到她家里。作为这一证据的结果,约翰斯诺能够宣布水泵的水携带霍乱病菌。因此,他把泵的手柄取下,使其无法使用。通过这一干预措施,疾病得以遏制。

1.We should drink pure or boiled water.
The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste. Moreover, Snow was later able to show a link between other cases of cholera and the different water companies in London. Some companies sold water from the River Thames that was polluted by raw waste. The people who drank this water were much more likely to get cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water.
事实是,街上水泵的水已经被垃圾污染了,而且,斯诺后来发现了其他霍乱病例与伦敦不同供水公司之间的联系。一些公司出售被未经处理的废水污染的泰晤士河的水。喝这种水的人比喝纯净水或白开水的人更容易得霍乱。

1. How has John Snow’s work affected our daily life?
2. Why is John Snow considered the father of modern epidemiology?
Through Snow’s tireless efforts, water companies began to sell clean water and the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial decrease.However, cholera is still a problem. Each year, millions of people around the world get cholera and many die from it. Fortunately, we now know how to prevent cholera,thanks to the work of John Snow. Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics, Snow transformed the way scientists study diseases. For this reason, Snow is considered the father of modern epidemiology.
Para. 5
通过斯诺的不懈努力,自来水公司开始销售清洁水,全球霍乱的威胁也大幅减少。然而,霍乱仍然是一个问题。每年,全世界有数百万人感染霍乱,许多人死于霍乱。幸运的是,多亏了约翰·斯诺的工作,我们知道如何预防霍乱。此外,斯诺在使用地图和统计学的过程中,改变了科学家研究疾病的方式。因此,斯诺被认为是流行病学之父.
