Language points
Smallpox used to be one of the worst global diseases. It killed millions of people in history. However, we do not hear much about it anymore. Why? Because it is no longer around in nature. This happened mainly because of the work of Edward Jenner (1749–1823), an English doctor and scientist.
曾经是
很少听说
不再存在
因为……的工作
Jenner did not have an easy childhood. His parents died when he was young, and his elder brother raised him. It was difficult for him to do well in school, but he had a passion for nature. At 13, he became an apprentice to a doctor for eight years. An apprentice is a young person who learns a job by working for someone else. It was hard for doctors to be well-respected at that time because modern medicine had not fully developed. When he was 21, he studied at a hospital in London.
童年并不轻松
对……有强烈的热爱
成为……的学徒
……很难受到尊重
After he finished his studies, Jenner went back to his home in the countryside because he liked it more. There, he became a family doctor and people started to hear about his good work. In his free time, he continued to do research and study nature.
开始听说他的出色工作
It was while working as a doctor that Jenner discovered that milkmaids—women who milk cows—rarely got smallpox. They often got cowpox, a disease like smallpox, but these milkmaids did not get very sick and they did not die. He wondered: Do milkmaids get protected from smallpox just because they often get cowpox?
在当医生期间
很少得天花
免受……的侵害
To test this, Jenner came up with the idea of first giving some people cowpox, then giving them smallpox. These people did not get the smallpox! After many other tests, he realized that cowpox could actually be used to protect people from getting smallpox.
提出了……的想法
被用来保护人们免受……
Jenner invented a new word to describe what he had created: “vaccine”. The word comes from the Latin word for “cow”. It was wonderful that, because of Jenner’s work, smallpox is not around anymore and people no longer die from it. His pioneering research has been used to create vaccines for other diseases.
创造了一个新词
源自拉丁语中表示……的词
不再存在
不再死于......疾病

Homework
1.用英语写3-5句话总结Jenner的成就。
2.查找一种现代疫苗(如流感疫苗、HPV疫苗),简单介绍它的作用。
