Global coronavirus cases exceeded 10 million on Sunday according to a Reuters tally, marking a major milestone in the spread of the respiratory disease that has so far killed almost half a million people in seven months.
据路透社统计，截至6月28日，全球新冠肺炎确诊病例超过1000万例，标志着这种呼吸道疾病传播的一个重要节点。7个月来，新冠肺炎已导致近50万人死亡。
The figure is roughly double the number of severe influenza illnesses recorded annually, according to the World Health Organisation.
根据世界卫生组织的数据，这个数字大约是每年记录的严重流感病例数量的两倍。
The milestone comes as many hard-hit countries are easing lockdowns while making extensive alterations to work and social life that could last for a year or more until a vaccine is available.
全球新冠肺炎确诊病例超过1000万例之际，许多遭受疫情重创的国家正在放松封锁措施，同时对工作和社交生活进行大规模调整，这些调整可能会持续一年或更长时间，直到疫苗上市。
Some countries are experiencing a resurgence in infections, leading authorities to partially reinstate lockdowns, in what experts say could be a recurring pattern in the coming months and into 2021.
一些国家的感染情况正在重新抬头，导致政府部分恢复了封锁措施。专家表示，未来几个月乃至2021年，这种模式会一再出现。
