Roughly 30m people are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The vast majority live in the poorer parts of the planet. Of these, an estimated 6.5m are in urgent need of anti-retroviral medicines—the cocktails of drugs that have, in rich countries, transformed AIDS from an acute lethal condition to a chronic complaint. (46)
Two years ago a concerted international effort was launched to get 3m of these people on to anti-retroviral therapy by the end of 2005—the "3 by 5" campaign as the World Health Organization (WHO) dubbed it.
This week the WHO and UNAIDS, another United Nations body with responsibility for dealing with the disease, reported on progress so far. (47)
The good news is that the number of people now getting the drags stands at roughly 1 m—more than double what it was at the end of 2003.
The bad news is that this achievement is 600,000 patients short of the mid-2005 target set by the WHO, which means that "3 by 5" looks like turning into "3 by 6" instead.
(48)
Progress bas been slower than expected, says Jim Kim, head of the WHO’s HIV/AIDS department, in part because of bottlenecks in setting up procurement and supply-chain management in poor countries.
There have also been problems training enough nurses and other health-care workers—the unglamorous bits of improving health-care systems.
While the shortfall is disappointing, there are some encouraging signs. Four years ago, a basic cocktail of anti-retroviral medicines cost $10,000 a year. Today that price has fallen to around $150 in many countries. (49)
The dramatic decline is thanks largely to the introduction of cheap generic medicines from Indian manufacturers and others, as well as discounting by multinational drug giants.
That is not to say that drug prices and patents are no longer controversial. Last week, the Brazilian government said it would break the patent on an anti-retroviral drug produced by Abbott Laboratories, an American company, unless that firm agreed to match the much lower price of local manufacturers.
As the ever-optimistic Dr. Kim points out, there are other positive developments, too. (50)
For example, more poor countries are making AIDS a national priority, setting treatment targets and concrete plans for how to reach them.
As treatment becomes available, more people are also turning up for counseling and testing, which in turn helps with AIDS prevention. And despite initial fears that women might have problems gaining access to treatment, there are as yet no signs of them losing out.
选项
答案
举例来说,许多贫穷国家将艾滋病治疗列为重点工作,并制定了治疗目标和具体的实现步骤。
解析
本句为主从复合句,句子主干结构是more poor countries are making AIDS。a national priority是宾语 AIDS的补足语,分词短语setting treatment and concrete plans是句子状语,how to reach them是介词for的宾语从句。翻译时注意使用增词法,此处列为重点的不是AIDS这个疾病,而是指该病的治疗。此外宾语从句可简化为"实现步骤"译出。
