（单词翻译）

The second type of vaccine1 contains an attenuated2 virus. This virus is alive, but has been grown in the lab for several generations, so it isn’t able to multiply very well in humans. With the attenuated virus multiplying very slowly, your body is able to produce the correct antibodies before you get sick. Measles3 and mumps4 vaccines5 are both made with attenuated viruses. When most people in a community have become resistant6 to the virus, either through a vaccination7 or by having the virus and recovering, the community develops what is called “herd8 immunity9”. The nice thing about herd immunity is that it becomes statistically10 less likely for the germ to find a person without immunity. This protects members of the community who haven’t been vaccinated11, or had the disease, by reducing their chances of encountering an infected person.
