交际距离为什么不是distance而用distancing?
这阵子美国那边儿疫情愈演愈烈的态势还没消停，英国这边儿又传出了新型的变种病毒……唉~你说这老外们怎样就是听不进劝呢！说毕竟，照旧自我防护办法做得不到位啊！既然说到这个自我防护办法，就不得不提到 “social distancing” 这个词儿，嘿，您还甭说，要是搁在几个月前，这个词您在天下各大辞书里都查不着，如今可好，都成了2020年的年度热词啦！
但是，这个”social distancing” 各位一定不生疏，就是我们常说的“交际距离”，但这会儿心细的同砚们一定得问了: “交际距离不是应该翻译成 social distance 嘛？” 呵呵，那今天我们就来说说为什么不是”social distance”而是”social distancing”~
“distance”是距离、远方的意思信赖各位都很熟习了，但这里用得但是是它的动词情势，也就是”拉开距离；与…疏远”的意思，distance 用在交际距离中则表现：”If you distance yourself from something, you try to become less involved or connected with it. 假如你与某事坚持距离，意思是你试图变小到场或接洽。To keep oneself aloof from, or become less involved with a situation. 使本人阔别一种情况，或不太到场此中。”
以是，反复显如今英文媒体中的”交际距离”会写作”social distancing”, 也就是说，social distancing 不仅是要求人们互相之间肢体离隔距离（keep physical distance），更是要让各位变小交际活动（distance yourself from social activities）。以是，从这个层面上去翻译的话，”social distancing” 翻译成“交际疏远”或“交际疏离”更为切合~

? Protecting the public health by separating communities so that people who are stricken by a contagious illness cannot pass it on to others who are not. It includes, e.g., having children stay out of school when they are ill; closing workplaces; postponing meetings; and avoiding large social or religious gatherings or sporting events. It is designed to stop the spread of epidemics or pandemics but is not as strict a limitation on social interaction as quarantine.
经过断绝社区来保护群众康健，如此受影响病影响的人就不克不及把它影响给其他没有影响的人。它包含，比如，让孩子在抱病时不上学; 关闭事情场合; 推延聚会会议; 制止大型交际或宗教聚会会议或体育活动。它的目标是制止盛行病或大盛行的转达，但对社会交往的限定不像断绝那样严厉。
