每周一段38 控制疟疾的肆虐

这周的每周一段选在“Malaria is fighting back against efforts to eliminate it” (the Economist, June 1st, 2019)

文章将的是国际社会在根据疟疾方面面临的问题、挑战以及应对的方法。

Without political commitment and the cash to match, the world risks a relapse in the fight against malaria. Such backsliding occurred in the 1960s, squandering the progress in the preceding decade against the disease in many countries, including India and Pakistan. The hope is that this time success breeds greater commitment rather than greater complacency. 

段落赏析

全文共15段，选段为第14段，一共有3句话。第1句写避免旧病复发需要的两个条件； 第2句举了历史上防治疟疾倒退的具体例子；第3句表达了作者对这次控制疟疾的希望。当我们想写某一个社会、经济、教育、环境问题旧病复发时就可以参考这个段落。建议北宋全段。

语言点：

1） 关于“旧病复发”的同义表达。第一句中的relapse, 第二句中的backsliding都有这样的意思。此外，常见的同义表达还有 lapse, regression, reversion.

2) squandering the progress. squander 表示浪费，考虑到中文的搭配习惯，应该翻译为“抵消...进步”。当我们想表达“前功尽弃”时就可以这样说。

3） breed "Success breeds greater commitment” 中的breed 和每周一段 32 火烧巴黎圣母院 “Familiarity breeds affection”用法相同，相当于produce, lead to. 在阅读中可以自己试着判断和积累这样地道的用法。
