《抗击新冠肺炎疫情的中国行动》白皮书（双语全文）(84)

（一）人的生命高于一切1.Lives Are Precious
在新冠肺炎疫情突袭，人民生命安全和身体健康受到严重威胁的重大时刻，中国共产党和中国政府始终以对人民负责、对生命负责的鲜明态度，准确分析和把握形势，既多方考量、慎之又慎，又及时出手、坚决果敢，以非常之举应对非常之事，全力保障人民生命权、健康权。At a critical time when people’s lives and health were endangered, the CPC and the Chinese government acted with a keen sense of responsibility and swiftly identified the problem. The central authorities took multiple factors into consideration, made timely and resolute decisions, employed extraordinary measures to deal with an extraordinary emergency, and made every effort to safeguard people’s lives and health.
在人民生命和经济利益之间果断抉择生命至上。疫情暴发后，以宁可一段时间内经济下滑甚至短期“停摆”，也要对人民生命安全和身体健康负责的巨大勇气，对湖北省和武汉市果断采取史无前例的全面严格管控措施。同时，在全国范围内严控人员流动，延长春节假期，停止人员聚集性活动，决定全国企业和学校延期开工开学，迅速遏制疫情的传播蔓延，避免更多人受到感染。英国《柳叶刀》社论认为，“中国的成功也伴随着巨大的社会和经济代价，中国必须做出艰难的决定，从而在国民健康与经济保护之间获得最佳平衡”。（注3）在疫情防控的关键阶段，准确把握疫情形势变化，作出统筹推进疫情防控和经济社会发展的重大决策，有序恢复生产生活秩序，推动落实分区分级精准复工复产，最大限度保障民生和人民正常生产生活。随着本土疫情防控取得重大战略成果，及时采取“外防输入、内防反弹”的防控策略，坚决防止来之不易的持续向好形势发生逆转，坚决防止人民生命安全再次面临病毒威胁。
Placing people’s lives above economic growth.When the novel coronavirus struck, China decided that it would protect the lives and health of its people even at the cost of a short-term economic downturn and even a temporary shutdown. The government took strict and comprehensive control measures, never tried before, in the city of Wuhan and Hubei Province. To stem the spread of the virus, the movement of people across the country was tightly restricted, the Chinese New Year holiday was extended, gatherings were stopped, and the spring semester and business operations were postponed. In an editorial, The Lancet stated: “China’s success has come with huge social and economic costs, and China must make difficult decisions to achieve an optimal balance between health and economic protection.”At the critical juncture of the fight against the virus, based on a precise understanding of the evolving situation, China took the major decision to continue Covid-19 prevention and control while resuming economic and social development. While restarting normal work in an orderly manner, it took targeted measures in different regions based on local conditions, so as to ensure people’s daily life and wellbeing to the greatest possible extent. Having succeeded in containing the spread of the virus on the mainland, the Chinese government adopted a strategy of preventing inbound infections and domestic resurgence, to ensure its hard-won progress would not be lost.
