这是第77篇14600英语核心词汇学习材料
这个春节，新型冠状病毒肺炎来势汹汹，对我的老家造成了极大的影响。我是湖北人，有很多家人和朋友在武汉。幸运的是他们一切安好。父母本打算来英国看安可，现在也来不了了。去年提前定的去摩洛哥旅行的机票酒店，现在也得退掉。难得一起团聚旅行的机会，又少了一次。我们这算影响小的，很多餐馆、旅行社等中小企业遭受重创，想到这些中小企业背后的家庭，尤其是受到影响的小孩，心里可真不是滋味。还有一些家庭更难过，因为面临的是生死离别。只希望危机早点过去，家人可以团聚，企业可以重整旗鼓，受到重创的家庭可以重新振作。我在英国每天都看报纸和电视新闻关于新型冠状病毒的报道，总结了一些特别重要的词汇和安可聊了几次，今天也分享给大家，希望大朋友小朋友们，停课不停学。1.Co'ronavirus: Death toll rises as virus spreads to every Chinese regionBBC的新闻标题。这个标题里重点词非常多：death toll死亡人数；virus病毒；spread扩散；region地区
