Should HIV-Infected Mothers Breastfeed ? (1/2)   ( 本次听写约170词 )

【我的听写】

The World Health Organization says that breastfeeding is the best way to provide babies with the nutrients and protection against infection they need to be healthy. However, a woman with HIV can spread the virus that causes AIDS to her child during pregnancy, delivery or through breastfeeding. The WHO estimates up to 20% of babies born to HIV infected mothers become infected through breastfeeding. However, stopping breastfeeding puts children at risk of other problems. These include poor nutrition and increased risk of other life threatening infections. These risks were shown in Bonswana last year. Water supplies made dirty by flooding led to high rates of diariea and poor nutrition among babies fed liquid baby food called foumila. More than 500 children died. The number of deaths from diariea increased 20 times from earlier years. Investigators from the United States Centers for Disease Control discovered the link between foumila feeding and infant deaths from diariea. They also found that babies who were not breastfeed were 50 times more likely to have diariea.

世界卫生组织指出母乳喂养对于婴儿来说是最好的一种喂养方式，它可以给婴儿提供各种营养成分，帮助他们抵御健康生长过程中疾病的感染。然而，携带HIV病毒的母亲在怀孕、分娩或哺乳期间有可能将这种导致艾滋病的病毒传播给她们的孩子。据WHO估计，HIV感染的母亲生出的婴儿中约有20%会通过母乳哺养而感染的。

然而，停止母乳哺养又会令孩子们遭受其他的问题，包括营养不良、感染其它危及生命的疾病的风险加大。去年这些风险在博茨瓦纳显露出来了。在用一种叫婴儿配方的液体婴儿食品喂养的婴儿中，因被洪水污染了的供水而导致痢疾和营养不良的比例增加了。有500多名孩子因此而死亡，跟早些年相比，死于痢疾的人数增加了20倍。

Investigators from the United States Centers for Disease Control discovered the link between (formula) feeding and infant deaths from (diarrhea). They also found that babies who were not breastfeed were 50 times more likely to have (diarrhea).

美国疾病控制中心的调查人士发现配方喂养与婴儿死于痢疾之间有所关联，并且还发现没有使用母乳喂养的孩子感染痢疾的可能性上升了50倍。
