1、 英语基础口语：非典药物研制跟踪detect的意思是觉察; 侦查，经常与一起使用，比方说detect sb. in （doing）觉察某人在做（坏事）。例句：He was detected in the act of stealing.他在偷窃时被当场觉察。weak point:弱点。None is prefect in the world, everyone has his own weak point. WASHINGTON （AFP） - German scientists announced that they have discovered a weakness in the SAR
2、S virus which could help speed up the development of a treatment to counter the infection. 华盛顿，法新社德国科学家5月13日宣布他们发觉了非典病毒的弱点，这将有助于快速开发抗非典感染的治疗药品。 speed up是加速的意思。verbup很常见，象hurry up, come up,类似词组在不同的语境有不同的意思，用的频率业比拟高，值得专心整理。口语中有两个和speed 有关的祝愿语：God speed you!愿上帝助你胜利! 祝你一路顺风!Good speed!祝你胜利! 祝你好运! 祝你一路顺风

4、roteins or conjugated proteins produced by living organisms and functioning as biochemical catalysts.酶，由活的有机体产生的各种蛋白质或蛋白质结合体的一种，起生物催化剂的作用 The breakthrough has started a race against time to develop a protease inhibitor a treatment that could block enzymes from the severe acute respiratory syndrome c

7、味着治疗药物也会很快面世。 Therefore we concluded that a drug that was originated to target a rhinovirus might be a good starting point for the development of drugs against corona viruses, including the SARS virus, said Rolf Hilgenfeld. 罗尔夫希尔根菲尔德还说：“因此我们可以的出结论，由抗病毒药物研制出药物有可能成为抗冠状病毒药物（包括非典病毒）的良好开端。 starting point：动身点, 起跑点。在本文中意思可以翻译成开端。
