People here in Hong Kong were catching a form of pneumonia that did not respond to standard treatment.
香港這裡的人罹患了一種對標準治療法沒有反應的肺炎。

3
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:15.117
And three days later, the new disease was named SARS for the first time.
三天之後，該種新的疾病被首度定名為嚴重急性呼吸道症候群（SARS）。

4
00:00:15.564 --> 00:00:23.759
We now know that it started in China, but by the time it was contained four months later, it had spread to more than two dozen countries.
如今我們知道 SARS 起於中國，但等到過了四個月 SARS 受到控制後，它已經蔓延至二十多個國家。

6
00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:32.267
and Hong Kong had the highest fatality rate in the world.
其中以香港的死亡率為全球最高。

7
00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:35.706
And the city still bears scars from SARS.
如今這座城市依舊背負著 SARS 留下的傷疤。

8
00:00:39.692 --> 00:00:48.112
I talked to the virus. I talked to the disease, "Go away. Go away."

Cathy Kong is a SARS survivor.
凱西．江是 SARS 的生還者。

Ten years ago, she lived in Block E of the Amoy Gardens apartment complex, the area of Hong Kong hardest hit during the outbreak.
十年前，她住在公寓社區淘大花園 E 棟中，也就是疫情爆發期間香港受創最嚴重的地區。

11
00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:02.935
Cathy and more than 300 of her neighbors became infected with SARS.
凱西和三百多位鄰居感染了 SARS。

12
00:01:03.388 --> 00:01:08.619
I didn't know the situation is so severe, so scary,
我不知道情況有那麼嚴重，那麼恐怖，

13
00:01:08.948 --> 00:01:22.632
until the moment I was discharged from the hospital and when I came home I got out of the taxi, I took my first step to the Amoy Gardens shopping mall.
一直到我出院，當我回到家，下了計程車後，我先走進淘大花園商場。

14
00:01:23.035 --> 00:01:34.298
Most of the shops were closed. It was dark, quite dark, in... not light in the shopping mall, not like its normal scene.
大部分的商店都沒有營業。光線很暗，非常暗，那裡……商場裡沒有開燈，和平時的景象不一樣。

15
00:01:34.714 --> 00:01:37.917
In other parts of Hong Kong, usually crowded streets were deserted.
在香港其他地方，平常擁擠的街道空無一人。

16
00:01:38.261 --> 00:01:46.002
People who did go out wore face masks, and they were in such high demand that even hospital workers fighting SARS had a hard time getting them.
真的出門的人則戴了口罩，口罩的需求量如此之大，連醫院裡對抗 SARS 的工作人員都很難取得。

17
00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:55.589
At the time we weren't really very well prepared, because we thought it was only going to be a small-scale outbreak.
當時我們準備得不是很充分，因為我們以為那只會是小規模的傳染病擴散。

18
00:01:55.611 --> 00:02:06.487
We didn't realize that there was an Amoy Garden[s] outbreak afterwards. So these masks were in very short supply at the time.
我們不知道後來會爆發淘大花園那樣的疫情，所以這些口罩在當時非常短缺。

That's where many residents of Amoy Gardens went for treatment.
許多淘大花園的居民就是前往該院接受治療。

21
00:02:15.833 --> 00:02:19.552
But at first, Dr. Chu and his colleagues did not know what they were fighting.
但是一開始，朱醫師和他的同事並不知道他們在對抗什麼。

22
00:02:20.290 --> 00:02:25.916
It was quite scary and we... all of us I think in the team feels a very huge responsibility,
當時相當可怕，我們……我想我們團隊裡所有人都感覺到責任重大，

23
00:02:25.899 --> 00:02:33.503
because we... eventually we had more than a hundred adult patients admitted under our care with SARS.
因為我們……到最後我們收治照護的 SARS 成人病患共有一百多人。

24
00:02:33.844 --> 00:02:40.605
You know, people tend to romanticize the whole experience, but in fact it's quite traumatic for everybody.
大家很容易會將整個經歷傳奇化，事實上大家的心理都受創很深。

25
00:02:41.202 --> 00:02:49.371
And I don't feel like a hero. I mean, I was trained to deal with pneumonia and that was only my job.
我不覺得自己是個英雄，我的意思是，我的訓練就是要來治療肺炎，那只是我的工作罷了。

26
00:02:50.533 --> 00:02:58.260
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, SARS has not struck since 2004, but its legacy can still be seen in Hong Kong today.

In the buildings around me, you will find signs with disinfecting schedules. You'll also find hand sanitizer dispensers.
在我身邊的大樓裡，你會看到消毒時間表的告示，你還會看到潔手消毒器。

28
00:03:05.062 --> 00:03:09.580
And when people get sick here in Hong Kong, they often wear face masks to avoid spreading it to others.
而且，香港人生病時，他們通常會戴上口罩避免傳染給別人。

29
00:03:10.725 --> 00:03:13.602
Cathy says she is happy to see lessons have been learned.
凱西說她很高興看到大家學到了教訓。

30
00:03:14.002 --> 00:03:19.008

她表示，SARS 的生還者還在痊癒中，有些人是身體上的傷害，有些人則是心理上的傷害。

31
00:03:19.613 --> 00:03:31.802
I always tell myself it's OK. I'm recovered. The disease is over and the disaster is also over.
我一直告訴自己沒事了，我康復了。疾病結束了，災難也結束了。

I'm OK. I always tell myself I'm OK. I'm the lucky one.
我沒事了，我一直告訴自己我沒事了。我是那個幸運兒。
