答︰B​
phubbing是phone+snubbing所產生的新字，由於近十幾年來手機文化的興起，使得許多人在聚會時總是猛滑手機而少與其他人交談，進而衍生出這個新興的單字。​

sunb (V.) 冷落、怠慢

Phubbing is rife throughout the world.​

🔥 China Said African Swine Fever Was Stable. Then Cases Climbed Again.
中國稱非洲豬瘟疫情穩定，但病豬數量再次攀升

- African swine fever 非洲豬瘟
✍️ swine 除了「豬」之外，罵人「下流坯子」時也會用這個字。

🧐 As China has largely brought the coronavirus pandemic under control within its borders, another highly contagious disease—one affecting livestock—is reappearing and raising questions about the accuracy of the country’s reporting.
中國已大致控制住了國內的新冠疫情，但另一種會影響牲畜的高傳染性疾病卻再次出現，引發各界質疑中國疫情報告的準確性。

- under control 得到控制；在控制中
- within its borders 直譯是「在…國境內」，也就是「國內」的意思。
- reappear 再次出現

🙅🏻‍♂️For about four months from mid-November last year, pig farms in China reported no new cases of African swine fever, the deadly hemorrhagic disease that last year resulted in the loss of around 120 million hogs in the country. Chinese authorities said in February that the epidemic situation was stable.
從去年11月中旬開始的大約四個月內，中國的養豬場沒有報告新的非洲豬瘟病例，非洲豬瘟是一種致命的出血性疾病，去年導致中國約1.2億頭豬死亡，中國有關部門2月份曾表示，非洲豬瘟疫情穩定。

- mid-November 11月中旬
✍️ mid+時間=在…段時間中間，例如常聽到的「仲夏」midsummer
- hemorrhagic 出血的
- hog （尤指供食用的）豬

😠 Since mid-March, China’s Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Affairs has reported a spate of new cases across the country, supporting what some independent veterinary and farming consultants have been saying since late 2019: The disease is still rife.
自3月中旬以來，中國農業農村部報告了全國範圍內的一連串新非洲豬瘟病例，印證了一些獨立獸醫及農業顧問自去年年底就一直秉持的觀點：非洲豬瘟仍在流行。

- spate （尤指不愉快的）大量突發事件
✍️ a spate of 接連發生…
- veterinary 獸醫的
- rife （指不良事物）盛行的、流行的
