That hybrid variant is made up of the Omicron and Delta strains, and has now just been confirmed by the World Health Organization.
一个由奥密克戎毒株和德尔塔毒株结合而成的混合变种,现在已经得到了世界卫生组织的证实 。
Deltacron first started appearing in January, but now there have been more cases.
德尔塔克戎最早出现在今年1月份,但现在已经出现了更多的病例 。
On Wednesday, the World Health Organization decided to start tracking it, but they're not calling it 'a variant of concern' just yet.
周三,世界卫生组织决定开始对其进行跟踪,但他们目前还没有将其定义为“令人担忧的变体” 。
It's got features of Omicron and features of Delta.
它兼具了奥密克戎和德尔塔的一些特点 。
Because of that, the new variant has been dubbed "Deltacron", although Professor of Infectious Diseases at UC Berkeley Dr. John Swartzberg says that name could change.
正因如此,这一新的变种被称为“德尔塔克戎”,尽管加州大学伯克利分校的传染病学教授约翰·斯瓦茨伯格博士表示,这个名字可能会有所改变 。
So it sounds pretty ominous if you take the worst aspects of Delta, which was a more serious illness,
所以这听起来是很可怕的,如果你把德尔塔毒株最糟糕的一方面--毒性更强
and you combine it with the worst aspects of Omicron, really transmissible, then you've got something that sounds pretty scary.
以及奥密克戎毒株最糟糕的一方面--传染性更强,这两者结合起来,那就会非常可怕了 。
There is absolutely no evidence that this new recombinant virus has those qualities at all.
不过目前完全没有证据表明这种新的混合变种完全具有这两种特性 。
UCSF Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Peter Chin-Hong says both those variants were likely involved in creating this new one.
加州大学旧金山分校的传染病专家彼得·钦宏博士表示,这一新毒株的产生可能与上述两种毒株都有关 。
At some point, there is two circulating variants, so one person can actually catch two variants at the same time.
在某种程度上,如果同时存在着两种流行的变体,那么实际上一个人是可以同时感染上这两种变体的 。
And not only that, the two variants can invade the same cell in your body by some random event and then they can have children.
不仅如此,这两种变体可以通过一些随机事件入侵你体内的同一个细胞,然后就可以开始繁衍了 。
Dr. Chin-Hong says in this case, those children are Deltacron, but he says your body may already be primed to fight off this new variant.
钦宏博士称,在这种情况下,这一新产生的毒株就是德尔塔克戎,但他也表示,你的身体可能已经准备好对抗这一新的变种了 。
So far it seems that the outside of Deltacron is really looking almost exactly like Omicron.
到目前为止,从外表看来,德尔塔克戎和奥密克戎几乎一模一样 。
Deltacron has been detected in the United States, but at this point, it is not a major concern.
德尔塔克戎目前已在美国出现,但目前它还不是需要关注的头号问题 。
Both Doctors say you shouldn't be surprised or alarmed to see COVID mutating again.
两位博士都表示,人们不应该对新冠病毒的再次变异感到惊讶或恐慌 。
