83歲教皇咳嗽嚴重，取消多項活動，官方沒有公佈病因

A coughing Pope Francis told pilgrims gathered for the traditional Sunday blessing that he is canceling his participation at a week-long spiritual retreat in the Roman countryside because of a cold.

教皇在週日傳統佈道會上咳嗽着向教徒宣佈，因感冒他不能參加在羅馬近郊舉辦的爲期一週的精神靜修活動。

It is the first time in his seven-year papacy that he has missed the spiritual exercises that he initiated early in his pontificate to mark the start of each Lenten season. Such retreats are typical Jesuits, an order to which he belongs.

這是他出任教皇七年來首次缺席該活動，這一活動是他剛出任教皇時發起的，以慶祝每一個四旬齋季節（即大齋節）的開始。這種靜修活動是典型的耶穌會士的活動，他就屬於這一團體。

The 83-year-old pontiff, who lost part of a lung to a respiratory illness as a young man, has canceled several official engagements this week as he battled an apparent cold.

83歲的教皇年輕時患過呼吸系統疾病，肺部切除了一部分，本週因感冒症狀取消了幾個官方活動。

His weekly appearance Sunday to pilgrims from a window high above St. Peter’s Square was the first time he has been seen publicly since Ash Wednesday, when he was seen coughing and blowing his nose during Mass.

他週日參加活動時在聖彼得廣場上方高高的窗邊與教徒見面，這還是“聖灰星期三”（復活節前的第七個星期三）過後他首次露面。彌撒期間他不停咳嗽、擤鼻涕。

Francis paused twice to cough Sunday while addressing the faithful. At the end, he asked for prayers for the spiritual retreat, adding “unfortunately a cold prevents me from participating this year. I will be following the meditation from here.”

教皇週日對教衆講話時因爲咳嗽而暫停兩次。最後他讓大家爲精神靜修禱告，還說“很不幸，我感冒了，今年不能參加了。我會在這裏跟大家一起冥想。”

The Vatican has described Francis condition as “a slight illness,” without giving other details. Francis’ illness, though, has come amid general alarm in Italy over the coronavirus outbreak, which has infected more than 1,100 people, mostly in northern Italy.

梵蒂岡說教皇身體抱恙，但沒做出詳細說明。教皇發病正值意大利爆發冠狀病毒，大家此時都很警惕。疫情已導致超過1,100人感染，其中大多數病例都在意大利北部。
