California is now living its first full day under some of the most wide-reaching measures in the country, aimed at halting the coronavirus outbreak.
加利福尼亞州目前正在全國範圍最廣的措施下度過第一個完整的一天，這些措施旨在阻止“冠狀病毒”的爆發。
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the “stay home” order for the state’s nearly 40 million residents on Thursday night.
加文·紐森州長週四晚宣佈了該州近4000萬居民的“待在家”令
“We need to bend the curve in the state of California,” Newsom said during a news conference. “There’s a social contract here. People, I think, recognize the need to do more. They will adjust and adapt as they have.”
紐森在新聞發佈會上說：“在加利福尼亞州，我們需要彎曲曲線。”。“這裡有社會契約。我認為，人們認識到需要做更多的事情。他們將根據自己的情進行調整和適應。”
He added, “This is a moment we need to make tough decisions. This is a moment where we need some straight talk and we need to tell people the truth.”
他補充道：“這是我們需要做出艱難決定的時刻。現在我們需要直言不諱地告訴人們真相。”
The order took effect at midnight Friday, but what exactly does it entail?
這項命令在星期五午夜生效，但具體要求是什麼？
The order has forced the closure of dine-in restaurants, bars and nightclubs, entertainment venues, gyms, public events and gatherings, and convention centers, according to the California state government website.
據加利福尼亞州政府網站報道，該法令已強制關閉餐館、酒吧和夜總會、娛樂場所、健身房、公共活動和集會以及會議中心的用餐場所。
Services and businesses that have been deemed “essential”-- such as gas stations, pharmacies, grocery stores, banks and laundromats--will be allowed to stay open, as well as “law enforcement and offices that provide government programs and services.”
被視為“必不可少”的服務和企業，如加油站、藥店、雜貨店、銀行和自助洗衣店，以及“執法部門和提供政府方案和服務的辦公室”，將被允許繼續營業
The order also asks Californians who work in more than a dozen federally-designated “critical infrastructure sectors” -- ranging from defense to nuclear reactors – to keep reporting to their jobs.
該命令還要求在十幾個聯邦指定的“關鍵基礎設施部門”（從國防到核反應堆）工作的加州人繼續向工作彙報。
“I order that Californians working in these 16 critical infrastructure sectors may continue their work because of the importance of these sectors to Californians’ health and well-being,” Newsom wrote in his order.
紐森在命令中寫道：“我命令在這16個關鍵基礎設施部門工作的加州人可以繼續工作，因為這些部門對加州人的健康和福祉非常重要。”。
He added the sectors are considered “so vital to the United States that incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, economic security, public health or safety, or any combination thereof.”
他補充說，這些部門被認為“對美國非常重要，喪失工作能力或遭到破壞將對安全、經濟安全、公共衛生或安全，或其任何組合產生削弱性影響。”
Newsom also called for the state’s healthcare system to “prioritize services to serving those who are the sickest and shall prioritize resources, including personal protective equipment, for the providers providing direct care to them.”
紐森還呼籲該州的醫療系統“優先服務於那些疾病最嚴重的人，並應優先提供資源，包括個人防護設備，以便為他們提供直接護理。”
Overall, the order is designed to keep Californians at home and encourages them to only venture outside when necessary.
總的來說，這項命令是為了讓加州人呆在家裡，並鼓勵他們只有在必要時才出去冒險。
