鲍里斯在电视讲话上表示，新冠病毒是“全英国几十年都难遇的最大威胁。”他说，“没有全国人民的巨大努力”，全球都将面临“没有相应的医疗服务，因为我们没有足够的呼吸机，没有足够的床位，没有足够的医生和护士。” 

"简单来说，如果同时有太多人严重患病，英国健康医疗系统NHS将不堪重负，这意味着越来越多的人会死去，并且不仅是因为感染新冠病毒，更是因为其他疾病而死去。"

PM: No health service could cope without national effort

Speaking to the nation, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the coronavirus is "the biggest threat this country has faced for decades".

He says "without a huge national effort" there will come a time when "no health service in the world could possibly cope; because there won’t be enough ventilators, enough intensive care beds, enough doctors and nurses".

"To put it simply, if too many people become seriously unwell at one time, the NHS will be unable to handle it - meaning more people are likely to die, not just from coronavirus but from other illnesses as well."

鲍里斯说，减缓病毒传播“非常重要”，“减少同时就诊的人数，我们可以保护NHS能有能力保护更多的生命。”

“这也是为什么我们要求所有人在疫情流行期间待在家里。”他说。

“很多人已经在遵守这个规定，我非常感谢大家，现在到了我们所有人做更多（来防止）的时候了。”

PM: The time has come to do more

Mr Johnson says it is "vital" to slow the spread of the virus, to "reduce the number of people needing hospital treatment at any one time, so we can protect the NHS’s ability to cope - and save more lives".

"And that’s why we have been asking people to stay at home during this pandemic," he says.

"And though huge numbers are complying – and I thank you all - the time has now come for us all to do more."

“从今晚开始，我必须要给所有英国人民一个非常简单的说明——你们必须待在家。” 鲍里斯对全英国人民说。

“因为我们现在必须做的最危急的事就是防止病毒在家庭之间传播。” 

他说，这也是为什么所有人只能因为有限的原因出门。

'Stay at home from this evening'

"From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction - you must stay at home," says Mr Johnson, speaking to the UK.

"Because the critical thing we must do is stop the disease spreading between households."

He says that is why people will only be able to leave home for very limited purposes.

鲍里斯对限制英国人民出门的地点做出了声明，并且希望大家紧急执行。

从今晚开始，人们只能因为以下原因出门：

Restrictions placed on when people can leave home

Boris Johnson has just announced a raft of restrictions people in the UK are being urged to follow.

From tonight, people will be allowed to leave their homes for:

* shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible

* one form of exercise a day - for example a run, walk, or cycle, alone or with members of their household;

* any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person;

* travelling to and from work, but only where it is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home

鲍里斯说，大家不要和朋友见面，如果朋友要求，一定要拒绝。与不同住的亲属见面也需要避免。他说，购买非重要物资比如食物和药品也不行。“如果你不遵守这些规定，警察将有权监管，包括罚款或驱散聚集人群。”

PM: Police will have power to enforce rules

Boris Johnson says people should not be meeting their friends - and if they are asked to meet up, they should say no. People should not meet family members outside their home, he says, or go shopping for anything except for essentials like food or medicine. "If you don’t follow the rules the police will have the powers to enforce them, including through fines and dispersing gatherings," he adds.

鲍里斯说，政府将立即执行以下情况：

PM: No gatherings of more than two people

Mr Johnson says the government will immediately:

close all shops selling non-essential goods, including clothing and electronic stores - as well as other premises like libraries, playgrounds and outdoor gyms, and places of worship

stop all gatherings of more than two people in public – excluding people you live with

stop all social events , including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies, but allow funerals

Parks will remain open for exercise but gatherings will be dispersed

“没有首相想要执行这样的禁令，” 鲍里斯说。

“我知道这些禁令现在和将来将会对大家的生活、事业和工作造成多大的损害。这也是我们为支持员工和生意颁布那么巨大和史无前例的方案的原因。”

他补充道，“并且我向大家保证，我们会持续不断地评估这些禁令。我们会在3周后再看是否可能解除，如果有证据显示可行的话。

但现在我们没有容易的选择。前路很艰难，有更多生命将会逝去也是事实。”

UK restrictions for at least three weeks

"No prime minister wants to enact measures like this," says Mr Johnson.

"I know the damage that this disruption is doing and will do to people’s lives, to their businesses and to their jobs.

"And that’s why we have produced a huge and unprecedented programme of support both for workers and for business."

He adds: "And I can assure you that we will keep these restrictions under constant review. We will look again in three weeks and relax them if the evidence shows we are able to.

"But at present there are just no easy options. The way ahead is hard, and it is still true that many lives will sadly be lost."

鲍里斯说，现在有一个“清晰的方式”，7500名前医务人员正在回归NHS系统。

“用你们的时间，简单待在家里，我们会增加设备的库存。” 他说。

他说政府已经在购买百万份测试试剂盒。

“我想要感谢每一位在室外岗位上对抗病毒的人，” 他说，“每一位一线工作人员，不管是超市员工，交通运输人员，护理人员，护士还是医生。”

但是他说，“我们每一个人都有义务团结在一起，这个国家每一个人都需要站起来接受挑战。我们将会以不曾有的顽强来度过难关。我们会战胜病毒，我们将一起抗战。所以，我敦促你们在这样的国家危机关头待在家，保护我们的NHS医疗系统，拯救更多的生命。”

Johnson: We will come through this stronger than ever

Mr Johnson says there is a "clear way through", saying 7,500 former clinicians are now coming back to the NHS.

"With the time you buy – by simply staying at home - we are increasing our stocks of equipment," he says.

He says the government is buying millions of testing kits.

"I want to thank everyone who is working flat out to beat the virus," he says. "Everyone from the supermarket staff, to the transport workers, to the carers, to the nurses and doctors on the front line."

But he says that "each and every one of us is now obliged to join together".

Mr Johnson finishes his speech by saying he knows that, as they have done in the past, "the people of this country will rise to that challenge".

"And we will come through it stronger than ever. We will beat the coronavirus and we will beat it together.

"And therefore I urge you at this moment of national emergency to stay at home, protect our NHS and save lives."

关于鲍里斯的电视演讲，健康记者Nick Triggle分析了是什么情况让鲍里斯发表此次演讲。

首相和官员们开始关心人民不遵守之前关于保持社交距离的建议的报告。

周末的好天气让人们聚集在公园和其他室外场所，享受初春，可以想象火车上整装的通勤者拉响了这次警报。

据数据显示，检测成阳性的病例飞快上涨，我们现在期望这个数字会下降，减少社交接触能最大化降低数字。

如果我们将暴露减半，新的感染量会下降95%以上。科学家目前相信一个感染者在5天内会传染2.5个人。当第一次感染超过30天，将会导致超过400人被感染。但如果我们将暴露减半，30天后，第一次感染者只会传染15个人。

What led to this announcement?

Ministers and officials have become concerned about reports of people failing to observe the advice about social distancing.

The sunny weather at the weekend led to people flocking to parks and other outdoor places to enjoy the start of spring, while images of commuters packed on to trains have also raised alarm.

The figures show the number of positive cases are beginning to rise quickly and there is a desire - now we have gone down this route - that the gains from reducing social contact are maximised.

If we halve exposure, new infections could fall by more than 95%. Scientists currently believe that each person with coronavirus infects 2.5 people and that takes about five days. Thirty days after that first infection, that means more than 400 people will be infected.

But if we all reduce our exposure by half, after 30 days, that first infection would have led to only 15 infections.
