Perhaps, almost seven years later, there are aspects of the Covid lockdown some are nostalgic about, but it’s doubtful the great loo-roll hoarding of 2020 is one of them.(也许将近七年后，有些人对封锁的某些方面仍怀留恋，但2020年的卫生纸大囤积恐怕不在其中。) And yet, here we appear to be again. Well, nearly.
也许，将近七年之后，有些人对新冠封锁的某些方面仍怀有留恋，但2020年那场卫生纸大囤积恐怕不在其中。然而，我们似乎又回到了老路上。嗯，差不多吧。
Some shops sold out(售罄) of baked beans and water this week, after government advice that we should stockpile(囤积) supplies to prepare for emergencies “ranging from severe weather to cyber-attacks(从极端天气到网络攻击)”. We must Be Ready – which is the name of the campaign that has launched.(我们必须“做好准备”——这正是已启动的运动的名称。) Security minister Dan Jarvis said that “those who can follow this advice should follow this advice”.
本周，在政府建议我们储备物资以应对“从极端天气到网络攻击”的紧急情况后，一些商店的焗豆和饮用水销售一空。我们必须“做好准备”——这正是已启动的运动的名称。安全部长丹·贾维斯表示：“有能力遵循这一建议的人应当遵循这一建议。”
So, what’s your prepper(囤货者，备灾者) style? Panic? Denial? Ambivalence? I’ve been asking everyone I come into contact with(接触到) since the news of Be Ready broke(“做好准备”的消息传出). Their reaction to it has, each time, confirmed everything I already knew about who they were.(每次他们的反应都印证了我早已知道的关于他们的一切。)
那么，你是哪种囤货风格？恐慌型？否认型？矛盾型？自从“做好准备”运动的消息传出后，我逢人便问。而每次，他们的反应都印证了我早已知道的关于他们的一切。
