JOHN SNOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA①”
[1]Cholera used to② 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 severe③ diarrhoea④, dehydration⑤, and even death.In the early 19th century, when an outbreak⑥ of cholera hit Europe, millions of people died from the disease.[2]As a young doctor, John Snow became frustrated⑦ because no one knew how to prevent or treat cholera. In time, he rose to become a famous doctor, and even attended to⑧ Queen Victoria [3]when she gave birth.However, he never lost his desire to destroy cholera once and for all⑨.
[1]until在句中引导时间状语从句;how引导的从句作动词showed的宾语;过去分词feared作定语,修饰名词diseases;John Snow是a British doctor的同位语。
[2]because引导原因状语从句;“疑问词how+动词不定式短语”作动词knew的宾语。
[3]when引导时间状语从句。
In general⑩, doctors in those days had two contradictory⑪ theories to explain how cholera spread.[4]One theory was that bad air caused the disease.[5]The other was that cholera was caused by an infection⑫ from germs⑬ in food or water. Snow subscribed⑭ to the second theory.It was correct, but he still needed proof⑮.Consequently⑯, when an outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate⑰.[6]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.
[4][5]两句中的that均引导表语从句,不作任何成分,只起连接作用,且不可省略。
[6]第一个that引导的从句作动词discovered的宾语;在该从句中含有一个so ...that ...句型,该句型中that引导结果状语从句。
[7]Snow began by marking on a map the exact places where all those who died had lived. There were multiple⑱ deaths near the water pump⑲ in Broad Street (especially house numbers 16, 37, 38, and 40).However, some households⑳ (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street, and 8 and 9 Cambridge 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.[8]Snow suspected㉑ that the water pump was to blame㉒. What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street.[9]It seemed that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered㉓ to her house every day. As a result of㉔ this evidence, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs.Accordingly㉕, he had the handle㉖ of the pump removed㉗ [10]so that it could not be used.Through this intervention㉘, the disease was stopped in its tracks㉙.
[7] 该句中的介词短语by marking on a map作方式状语,修饰动词began;where和who引导定语从句,分别修饰先行词places和those。
[8]that引导的从句作动词suspected的宾语;be to blame意为“该受责备”,常用主动形式表示被动意义。
[9]It seemed that ...意为“好像……”;had it delivered是“have+宾语+过去分词”结构,过去分词作宾语补足语,表示“主语让别人做某事”。
[10]so that在句中引导目的状语从句。
[11]The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste.Moreover, Snow was later able to show a link㉚ between other cases㉛ of cholera and the different water companies in London.Some companies sold water from the River Thames [12]that was polluted by raw㉜ waste.[13]The people who drank this water were much more likely to get cholera than those who drank pure㉝ or boiled water.
[11]连接词that在句中引导表语从句。
[12]关系代词that在句中引导定语从句,修饰先行词the River Thames。
[13]句子主干使用了一个比较级结构;句中两个关系代词who都引导定语从句,分别修饰先行词people和those; be likely to do sth意为“有可能做某事”。
Through Snow’s tireless efforts㉞, water companies began to sell clean water, and [14]the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial㉟ decrease㊱.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 to㊲ the work of John Snow.Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics㊳, Snow transformed㊴ the way [15]scientists study diseases.For this reason, Snow is considered the father of modern epidemiology㊵.
[14]该句谓语动词是saw,使用了拟人的修辞手法,意为“见证;目睹”。
[15]此处是省略了that或in which的定语从句,修饰先行词the way。

参考译文
约翰·斯诺战胜“霍乱王”
在英国医生约翰·斯诺向人们展示如何战胜霍乱之前,霍乱曾是世界上最令人恐惧的疾病之一。它可导致严重腹泻、脱水,甚至死亡。十九世纪初,霍乱爆发,肆虐欧洲,数百万人丧命。由于当时无人知道如何预防或治疗霍乱,年轻的约翰·斯诺医生很沮丧。后来,他成了一位名医,甚至照料分娩的维多利亚女王。然而,他始终没有放弃彻底根除霍乱的愿望。
关于霍乱的蔓延方式,当时医生大体上有两种截然不同的看法。一种看法是空气污染引发霍乱,另一种看法是食物或饮用水中的细菌感染导致霍乱。斯诺赞同第二种看法。这一看法是正确的,但他仍需要证据。因此,1854年伦敦爆发霍乱时,斯诺便开始调查。他发现霍乱疫情在两条街道上尤为严重,以至于十天内就有500多人死亡。他决心查明原因。
斯诺首先在地图上标出所有死者住所的确切位置。宽街水泵附近有多例死亡(尤其是16号、37号、38号及40号住宅),但是有些住户(如宽街20号和21号以及剑桥街8号和9号)却无人死亡。这些幸存者在剑桥街7号的酒吧工作,酒吧为他们提供免费啤酒,因此没有喝从水泵抽上来的水。斯诺怀疑水泵就是罪魁祸首。此外,在伦敦的另一个区域,一名妇女和她的女儿从宽街搬来后死于霍乱。该妇女似乎非常喜欢从水泵抽上来的水,每天都让人从那里打水运到家里来。有了这个证据,约翰·斯诺就能够宣布水泵抽上来的水携带霍乱病菌。于是,他让人拆掉了水泵的把手,这样水泵就用不成了。这一干预举措从渠道上遏制了疾病。
事情的真相是从宽街水泵抽上来的水被废弃物污染了。此外,斯诺之后还证明了另外几起霍乱病例与伦敦多家饮用水公司有关。有些公司出售的水取自被未经处理的废弃物污染的泰晤士河。与饮用纯净水或开水的人相比,饮用被污染的水的人更容易染上霍乱。
经过斯诺的不懈努力,饮用水公司开始出售洁净水,世界各地霍乱的威胁大幅降低。然而,霍乱仍是问题。每年全球有数百万人感染霍乱,其中许多人因此丧生。幸运的是,由于约翰·斯诺的努力,我们现在知道了如何预防霍乱。此外,通过使用地图和数据,斯诺改变了科学家研究疾病的方式。因此,斯诺被视为现代流行病学之父。
