The World Health Organization has rejected a call to move or postpone the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro over concerns about the Zika virus outbreak.
因担忧寨卡病毒爆发，有人呼吁转移或推迟里约奥运会，世界卫生组织对此予以否决。
A group of more than 150 health experts signed an open letter calling for the games to be delayed or moved to a different city for fear that that the thousands of tourists traveling to the games will cause the virus to spread more rapidly around the world.
超过150名健康专家组成的小组签署一封公开信，要求推迟奥运会或转移到另一个城市，称担忧成千上万的游客参加比赛将使病毒在世界各地传播加快。
But the World Health Organization said canceling the Rio Games wouldn't "significantly alter" the international spread of the disease.
但世界卫生组织表示，取消里约奥运会不会“显著改变”该疾病的国际传播。
The group claims that Brazil is only one of 60 countries battling an outbreak, and people continue to travel to those areas for a variety of reasons. However, the organization does advise pregnant women not to travel to affected areas, including Rio.
该组织声称，巴西仅是对抗疾病爆发的60个国家之一，人们因各种原因继续前往这些地区。然而，世卫组织确实建议孕妇不要前往受影响的地区，包括里约。
This is similar to what Dr. Tom Frieden, the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has said.
这类似于美国疾病控制和预防中心主任弗里登所说，
"I don't think there is any reason from a public health standpoint to cancel or postpone the Olympics. The risk is for pregnant women," said Frieden.
“从公共健康的角度来看，我不认为有任何理由取消或推迟奥运会。对孕妇有风险。”弗里登说。
Studies have found that the Zika virus is responsible for birth defects such as microcephaly, which is when children are born with an abnormally small head and an underdeveloped brain.
研究发现，塞卡病毒会导致出生缺陷如小头畸形，即当孩子生下来会出现异常小头以及未充分发育的大脑。
Frieden also advised pregnant women to avoid travel to affected areas and to make sure sexual partners wear a condom, since the disease can also be transmitted sexually.
弗里登还建议孕妇避免前往受影响地区，并确保性伴侣戴安全套，因为疾病也可以通过性传播。
