1、第一节  语篇翻译  阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time? Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap1. This leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.

Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is ‘the most beautiful invention in public health’. 2. 用肥皂洗手对你的健康有好处。

However, washing hands with soap does not happen as often as you might think. This is because there aren’t enough resources(资源) in poorer countries, but it’s also because for many people, handwashing is not part of their everyday life.3. It’s not easy for people to change habits they learned in early childhood. But this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.

In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote(促进) the first ever Global Handwashing Day. Every year since then, many different events have been held around the world. In 2014, Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in affected (受感染的) African countries. 4. 现在在非洲越来越多的人用肥皂洗手。

Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the importance of cleaning hands. 5. They hope that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people’s lives. And it is believed that handwashing can improve the health of millions of people around the world.
