美国将细菌送往各国意欲何为？

A lab in the UK may have received a sample of live anthrax from the Pentagon in 2007, say US officials.

美国官员称，2007年英国的实验室收到了五角大楼寄出的活性炭疽杆菌样本。

Colonel Steve Warren said the lab - which is not being named - is run by UK personnel, not the US military.

史蒂夫·沃伦上校表示这间不知名的实验室是由英国一家公司建立的，并非美国军方。

The colonel was referring to the deadly bacteria when he said, "Another lot came up positive and that lot had sent samples to the UK and Massachusetts."

上校在提到这一致命细菌时称“所有外运活性样本均出自一处试验场，实验场后将样本寄往英国和马萨诸塞州。”

Now there are 68 labs involved in the anthrax scare from the US, including four foreign countries.

目前，共有68个实验室收到美方寄出的活性炭疽杆菌样本，包括四个境外国家。

Anthrax bacteria live primarily in inactive spores¹ and are found naturally in the soil, but people can ingest or inhale² spores, which can make the anthrax active.

炭疽杆菌存在于无性孢子中，并广泛生长于土壤里，一旦人们摄入或吸入孢子后，炭疽杆菌就会在体内活跃起来。
