12、ferent industrieshaveunited to fight thevirus.譯文：中國(guó)哲學(xué)家孔子曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)： “時(shí)間像河里的水一樣流逝。 ” 尤其如此，因?yàn)樾滦凸跔畈《拘苑窝椎谋l(fā)已經(jīng)影響了中國(guó)成千上萬(wàn)人，并且整個(gè)國(guó)家都日以繼夜地在與這種流行病作斗爭(zhēng)。1 月下旬，由于懷疑武漢市有越來(lái)越多的人被感染，而醫(yī)院沒(méi)有足夠的床位，兩座專(zhuān)科醫(yī)院（雷神山醫(yī)院和火神山醫(yī)院）建成了。這兩家臨時(shí)醫(yī)院都是為治療感染新型冠狀病毒的肺炎患者而建的?；鹕裆结t(yī)院有病床 1000 張，占地面積 33900平方米， 雷神山醫(yī)院有病床 1500 張，總面積約 7.9 萬(wàn)平方米。超過(guò) 4,000 名工人分兩班制 24

13、/7 全天候工作，近 1,000 臺(tái)大型設(shè)備和運(yùn)輸工具幫助了該項(xiàng)目。兩家醫(yī)院都是在短短的時(shí)間內(nèi)建成的。人們只花了10 天就建成了火神山，而花了14天就建造了雷神山。數(shù)百萬(wàn)的中國(guó)人觀看了該建筑的直播視頻。這無(wú)疑使許多海外人士贊嘆不已。 “令人難以置信的是，可以在短時(shí)間內(nèi)建立兩家擁有 2500 張病床的醫(yī)院。簡(jiǎn)直令人難以置信，”名叫斯圖亞特的外國(guó)人告訴人民日?qǐng)?bào)。“這個(gè)項(xiàng)目向我們表明，中國(guó)是一個(gè)團(tuán)結(jié)一致的大國(guó)，”一位中國(guó)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶(hù)在新浪微博上評(píng)論。同時(shí)，中國(guó)公司也在這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗中迅速采取了行動(dòng)。據(jù)中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)報(bào)道，一些與醫(yī)療用品無(wú)關(guān)的中國(guó)公司已經(jīng)改變了工廠，生產(chǎn)出口罩，這是公眾防衛(wèi)最需要的“武器”。例如，當(dāng)
