原标题：【怪兽叔叔丨世界1分钟】西班牙流感 Spanish Flu

100 年前，有一场全球性的流感大流行，造成了5000 万到1 亿人的死亡，这个流感病毒叫西班牙流感。Over 100 years ago, there was an influenza pandemic which costed 50-100 million lives.

疫情在欧洲开始发生，那是1918 年的秋季，第一次世界大战正在进行。That happened in the autumn of 1918 when the world was engaged in the First World War.

在短短的25 个星期里，流感的死亡人数就超过了4 年战争所导致的死亡人数。In 25 weeks, the death toll from the flu exceeded that caused by the war over 4 years!

死于流感的士兵比死于战场的更多More soldiers died from the flu than in the battlefield

这个病毒的来源没有明确定论，西班牙流感，是因为这个新闻最早是由西班牙的报纸报道出来的。It’s unclear as to the origin ofthis virus. The reason why it’s called the Spanish Flu is because the news of the epidemic was first published by Spanish newspapers.
