Most of us have recently experienced quarantine (隔离) to minimize the risk of meeting somebody who may be carrying the virus. It is certain being under quarantine is no fun. However, with our access to food, (deliver) services and the entertainment (offer) by the internet, we're actually very lucky. Let's take a quick look at the history of quarantines.
The idea of quarantining sick people dates ancient times. Yet the word "quarantine" first came into use in the 14th century Europe during the Black Death. People were dropping like flies from the mysterious disease, and as the death toll climbed into the millions—eventually killing (approximate) half of the European population, cities began to take (measure) to protect their citizens. The port city of Venice, Italy, was an important trading center with ships (come) from all corners of the Earth every day. If a ship (suspect) to be harboring the plague (瘟疫), it was sent to offshore quarantine and ordered to wait there for 40 days when those abroad either recovered, or (likely), died. The waiting period gave rise to the term quarantinario, from the Italian word for 40.
