A total of 35 people have now fallen ill from a salmonella outbreak that led to the recall of more than 200 million eggs last month. While no deaths have been reported, 11 people have been hospitalized with salmonellosis, the name for the infection from the bacteria.
自沙门氏菌爆发以来，共计35人病倒，导致2亿多枚问题鸡蛋被召回。虽然目前尚未有人因此离世，但11位沙门氏菌感染者已住院接受治疗。
The outbreak has been linked to eggs coming from Indiana-based Rose Acre Farms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning consumers not to eat these eggs. "Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, serve, or sell recalled eggs produced by Rose Acre Farms. Throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund."
疫情爆发可能是印第安纳州玫瑰园农场（Rose Acre Farms）生产的鸡蛋所致。疾病预防与控制中心警告消费者不要吃这些鸡蛋。"消费者、餐馆和零售商不能吃、供应或出售由玫瑰园农场生产的问题鸡蛋。可以选择扔掉或去购买的商店退掉这些鸡蛋，获得退款。"
If you haven't yet, go check any eggs in your fridge. The cartons in question are sold under brand names including Coburn Farms, Country Daybreak, Food Lion, Glenview, Great Value, Nelms, Sunshine Farms, Publix, and Sunups.
如果你还没有这么做，请尽快检查冰箱里的鸡蛋。包装问题鸡蛋的纸箱刻有如下几个品牌：科本农场、Country Daybreak、食品之狮、格伦维尤、惠宜、Nelms、阳光农场、大众超市和Sunups。
Hopefully, your eggs are either not a cause of concern, or you already threw away any suspicious cartons. Either way, here's what you need to know about salmonella to stay safe during this and future outbreaks.
希望你的鸡蛋没有问题，或者你早已扔掉了问题鸡蛋。无论如何，为了安全度过此次及未来的疫情爆发，你需要了解这些沙门氏菌知识。
What is salmonella?
什么是沙门氏菌？
Salmonella is actually relatively common: There are about 1.2 million cases a year, and a million of those cases are caused by food, according to the CDC. Along with salmonella's fellow bacterial friends E. coli and listeria, it's one of the causes of what most of us would call food poisoning.
实际上，沙门氏菌比较常见：每年有120万例病例，其中100万左右的病例是由食物引起的，疾病预防与控制中心的数据表示。沙门氏菌及其'好朋友'大肠杆菌和李斯特菌是造成食物中毒的最常见细菌之一。
There are a number of different types of bacteria in the salmonella family, explains food safety specialist Argyris Magoulas, who is affiliated with the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service. Two types-Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium-are the most common in the U.S.
美国农业部食品安全检验局的食品安全专家Argyris Magoulas解释道，沙门氏菌家族有多种不同类型的细菌。其中肠炎沙门氏菌和鼠伤寒沙门氏杆菌这两种类型在美国最为常见。
The bacteria live in human and animal intestines and make people sick when we eat foods contaminated with salmonella (gross, we know). Raw meat, poultry, and seafood may come in contact with fecal matter during butchering or harvesting; fruits and veggies run the risk of being washed in contaminated water. And if chickens are infected, they can lay eggs that contain salmonella bacteria, according to the Mayo Clinic.
沙门氏菌生活在人类和动物的肠道中，当我们食用被沙门氏菌感染的食物时（是的，很恶心），人们会生病。生肉、家禽和海鲜食品可能在屠宰或捕捞期间与粪便接触；水果和蔬菜被污染的水冲洗也有可能受到感染。据梅奥诊所表示，如果鸡受到感染，它们下的蛋就可能含有沙门氏菌。
