Today, we’re talking about vaccines2 and why they’re so important.
今天，我们要讨论的话题是疫苗，以及注射疫苗的重要性。
Our bodies have an immune system that protects us from infections and diseases.
身体免疫系统可防止感染和疾病。
Basically, a
vaccine1 helps get our immune system ready to fight off a certain illness.
基本上，疫苗可帮助免疫系统对抗特定疾病。
A vaccine is usually made of the germ that could make you sick, but the germ is weakened or killed.
通常，疫苗含有许多致病细菌，但这些细菌已无法致病或已经死亡。
When a vaccine enters our body, the immune system thinks it’s the real germ and responds to it the same way it does to germs, it fights it.
当疫苗进入体内，免疫系统认为它是细菌，并将以对抗细菌的方式对抗疫苗。
But, the vaccine is easier to fight than the illness you’re being
vaccinated4 against, and it won’t make you sick.
然而，这种疫苗比对抗疾病来说更加容易，且不会致病。
Once the immune system figures out how to fight a germ and win, it remembers what works.
一旦免疫系统战胜该疫苗，它将会依循原有记忆进行保护。
Should such an enemy enter your body again, your immune system is ready to fight it off and will move to attack before it has a chance to make you sick.
一旦敌人再次侵入身体，免疫系统将在致病之前消灭敌人。
Sometimes our immune systems need a refresher course, which is why we get booster doses of some vaccines.
免疫系统有时也需要提神，这就是为什么我们要注射加强针的原因。
Some germs are
tricky5 and change over time, like flu viruses.
像流感等病毒随时都在发生变化。
We need to get the flu vaccine every year so our bodies can be ready to take on the latest flu viruses!
我们每年都需注射流感疫苗，保证免疫系统可对抗最新流感病毒。
