Up to 20% of people hospitalized with coronavirus in the United States are young adults ages 20 to 44, a new federal study shows.
美國的冠狀病毒住院者有高達兩成是20至44歲的年輕人
While the risk of dying was significantly higher in older people, the report issued Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows, younger people are making up a big portion of hospitalizations.
雖然老年人的致死風險較高，但是年輕人在住院者中的佔比也很大
The CDC analyzed the cases of about 2,500 patients in the United States whose ages were known. Of the 508 patients known to have been hospitalized, 20% were notably younger — between ages 20 and 44, while 18% were between ages 45 and 54, the report says. The highest percentage of hospitalized patients was at 26% between ages 65 and 84 years.
約2500病患中有508人住院，其中20%是20到44歲的年輕人、20%是45到54歲，比例最高的是65到84歲，佔了26%
And of the 121 patients known to have been admitted to an ICU, 36% were adults ages 45 to 64, while 12% were ages 20 to 44. There were no ICU admissions reported for those under age 19, the report says.
121人進入加護病房，36%是45到64歲、12%是20到44，沒有19歲以下進入加護病房
The report did not say whether the patients had underlying risk factors such as a chronic illness or a compromised immune systems, so it's unclear whether the younger adults hospitalized were more vulnerable to serious infection than others.
CDC的報告沒有提及這些病患是否有慢性病或免疫問題，無法得知這些住院的年輕人是否為易感群體
A top US health official cautioned young people to be wary of the coronavirus pandemic even though they do not fall in the highest risk groups.
衛生官員警告年輕人就算不像老年人一樣是最危險的群體也應該保持警惕
The coronavirus task force is concerned about reports indicating more young people are becoming seriously ill from the coronavirus, Dr. Deborah Birx said during Wednesday's briefing at the White House. It suggests they may have continued to be exposed to the virus because they weren't concerned about being at risk, she said.
報告指出越來越多年輕人病情加重，官員認為沒有警覺心的年輕人有持續暴露於病毒的風險
"There are concerning reports coming out of France and Italy about some young people getting seriously ill and very seriously ill in the ICUs," Birx said.
法國與義大利也有報告表示一些年輕人病情嚴重到進入加護病房
