我国首款移动疫苗接种车下月投用

据《北京日报》报道，我国首款移动疫苗接种车预计4月在北京、河北等地投用。

China's first vaccination vehicle will hit the streets in April in Beijing and north China's Hebei province, which will allow people to receive COVID-19 shots near their residence without travelling to vaccination stations.
我国首款移动疫苗接种车预计4月在北京、河北等地投用。投用后，接种新冠疫苗的人员不必再到疫苗接种点，而是疫苗接种车主动上门打疫苗。

【单词讲解】

关于“疫苗”的几个词，vaccine就是“疫苗”本身，vaccinate就是“注射疫苗、接种疫苗”这个动作，而其名词形式vaccination就是“接种疫苗”这件事。上文中的COVID-19 shots指“新冠疫苗注射”，这里的shot是相对比较口语化的表达。Shot做名词常见的意思是足球比赛中的“射门”，比如：He has the best shot on the team（他在队里射门能力最强），还有“尝试”的意思，与try类似，比如：Let's give it a shot（我们试试看）。

移动疫苗接种车配置如何？

The interior of the vaccination vehicle resembles that of a bus, but with fewer seats.
移动疫苗接种车内部的格局与公交大巴车类似，但是座椅数量缩减。

The vehicle is equipped with a facial recognition system that can check the body temperature of vaccine recipients.
车上配备了人脸识别系统，可以对同时对疫苗接种人员进行测温。

The vehicle is covered by onboard Wi-Fi and 5G network for faster data transmission.
车辆专门设置车载WiFi，可接入5G网络，更快速完成信息传输。

The whole vaccination process will be carried out inside the vehicle. After getting a shot, vaccine recipients will remain under observation at a designated area outside of the vehicle.
整个接种过程都在车内完成，接种完成后可在车外留观区留观。

移动疫苗接种车研发生产方北汽福田介绍，

The manufacturer can produce 12 such vehicles in one day, allowing for large scale use in the future.
生产方具备日产12辆车的产能，后期广泛使用时可以迅速进行生产。

【词汇讲解】

这里的allow for是一个固定搭配的短语，表示“顾及到，考虑到”等意思，比如：The design of the system allows for easy upgrades（有了这个系统设计，以后升级就容易了）；If you allow for inflation, he's actually earning less money now than he was 10 years ago（如果把通货膨胀考虑在内，他现在挣的钱还没有10年前多）。
