22、这种病我们至今还没找到治疗方法，也没有预防的疫苗。与此同时，目前艾滋病的死亡率几乎为 100%。 得了艾滋病意味着一个人的免疫系统出了毛病。免疫系统是人体内与疾病抗争的生物系统。这一系统主要是由我们通常所称的 “白血球 ”构成的。 这些白血球是体内的猎人。如果一种病毒，如普通感冒病毒，侵入人体内，白血球就会奋起迎击，杀死他们。 当白血球忙于与这些入侵者作战时，体内的免疫系统便处于 “受到攻击 ”状态。这时，如果另一种病毒或细菌也侵入体内，这第二位入侵者会更容易使身体的其他系统受到损害。 科学家已发现了引起艾滋病的病毒，叫做 HIV。这种病毒攻击并杀死白血球，使他们无法执行抵御入侵病毒的重要使命
23、。 仅仅凭肉眼观察，我们并不能分辨出一个人是否感染上了 HIV。这也就是 HIV能在两个人或更多的人中得以传播的部分原因。因为一个健康的人感染上 HIV病毒以后，至少在最初的几年里没有任何迹象表明他 /她的血液里有 HIV病毒。 然而在这一时期，这个带有病毒的人却能通过性行为或输血把病毒传染给他人。 那么，我们怎样才能知道自己是否受到了 HIV的感染呢 ?答案很简单：去做一个HIV血液检验。这种简单的检验只需花你几分钟的时间。如果你对自己是否感染了HIV病毒心存疑虑，去做一个血液检查乃是救生之举。 三、 “PART 3 Chinese-English Translation (40 point
