contaminated cucumbers
"毒黄瓜"
在欧洲，受肠出血性大肠杆菌 "污染"的黄瓜仍在蔓延。目前，德国已确认受肠出血性大肠杆菌(EHEC)污染的毒黄瓜导致14人死亡，感染人数约1000人。而且瑞典、丹麦、英国和奥地利等国也出现毒黄瓜所引起的感染者或疑似病例。
我们来看相关英文报道：
An E. coli outbreak linked to contaminated cucumbers that has killed 14 people and made more than 300 seriously ill in Germany has spread to other north European countries and is expected to worsen in the coming week.
The E. coli pathogen has been identified on cucumbers imported from Spain but it is unclear if they were contaminated there, during transport or in Germany.
受大肠杆菌污染的毒黄瓜已经导致德国14人死亡，300多人病情严重，并且疫情已经蔓延到其他一些北欧国家，在未来一周预计将会更加严重。
在从西班牙进口的黄瓜中发现了大肠杆菌病原体，但是尚不清楚污染究竟是发生在西班牙源产地，还是在运输过程中，或是在德国被污染的。
讲解
文中的"contaminated cucumbers"即指"毒黄瓜"，是指遭到一种出血性大肠杆菌 Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli（EHEC）污染的黄瓜，这种病菌会引发溶血性尿毒综合征 hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS)。与 Cucumber 相关的一个英语习惯用语是as cool as a cucumber，意为"镇定自若"。
