靠实力上了热搜的小朋友，究竟有什么故事？( 七 )
我的爸爸出生在武汉 ， 家里一些亲戚也住在武汉 ， 还有一些家人居住在世界其他角落 。 开心的是 ， 我们可以互相联系 ， 通过一个名为“快乐大家庭”的微信群 。 我们常常在里面互问近况 ， 发有趣的视频 ， 有时候也会八卦一下 。
But 2020 turned out to be a year unlike any other.
我们从没想到2020成了如此特殊的一年 。
In mid-January, we were all excited about the Chinese New Year 1 which was about to fall about 10 days later. Some were planning to travel to warm Hainan some were gonna make special big Spring Festival purchases and others were gonna visit their distant relatives. None of us fully realized what lay in wait.
1月中旬 ， 大家都很期待春节的到来 ， 此时距离过节只有10天左右 。 一些亲戚计划去温暖的海南旅游 ， 一些准备采购年货 ， 还有一些打算去拜访远亲 。 我们谁也没意识到等待我们的是什么 ，
Then on January the 23rd, news of a mysterious illness broke out a virus we now call COVID-19. This virus is highly infectious making people extremely sick and sometimes even killing them. At that moment, it was as if that Wuhan pushed a giant stop button and everything was put into lockdown.
1月23日 ， 新闻里突然播报一种神秘病毒 ， 我们现在称其为新型冠状病毒 。 这种病毒传染性极强 ， 感染病毒者可能会病重甚至身亡 。 那个时刻 ， 武汉被按下了“暂停”键 。 整个城市都被隔离了 。
Naturally, in the Happy Family WeChat group messages of anxiety and panic quickly popped up.
Do you have enough face masks?
Are we gonna have enough medical test kits?
Omg, I ve heard my neighbor just got the virus.
Spring Festival is supposed to be a time to sending out red envelopes but we began to send worry envelopes.
自然而然 ， 在“快乐大家庭”微信群里 ， 担忧的消息也一个接一个地弹出 。
你们的口罩够吗?
医院的检测盒够吗？
天 ， 我刚听说我的邻居感染了 。
春节本应是发红包的时候 ， 此时群里发出的却是焦虑和担忧 。
Every day, our WeChat group was bombarded with climbing figures of confirmed coronavirus cases and even deaths. Reports on social media were not helping any matters. Chaos was only causing more confusion. Then a message from Auntie Yun popped up telling us her neighbor had just died of the virus. He was only 48 years old and had been quite healthy. How could somebody like that just die? We were agitated and frightened. Then there was dead silence. Nobody would say anything. Wuhan became a ghost town and Happy Family became a ghost group.
我们的微信群每天都充斥不断攀升的数字：确诊病例甚至死亡人数 。 社交媒体上的报道也没有改善现状 。 杂乱的消息只让人更加困惑 。 云阿姨在群里发信 。 告诉我们她的邻居刚因冠状病毒去世 。 邻居年仅48岁 ， 平时非常健康 。 怎么一个好好的生命就这样消逝了呢？我们开始焦虑害怕 ， 接着群里一片沉寂 ， 没有人说话 。 武汉成了一座寂静的城市 ， “快乐大家庭”变成了一个沉默的群组 。
A few days later a piece of news regarding my Auntie Peng broke the general silence of the group. She is a service worker and had been serving the community with sanitation inspections since the dawn of the outbreak. She put on protective suit wore her face mask and patrolled communities to keep track of residents' health and to inform local citizens to quarantine themselves. She went out early and came back late. She did not even have time to look after her 2-year-old child. She stated in her WeChat moments: I wish I can be Doramon so that I can have my own pharmacy to care for the sick and a supermarket to gather supplies.
