nucleic acid test /核酸检测 / (hésuān jiǎncè)

A: You are taking a flight tomorrow, is your luggage ready?

你明天要乘坐飞机,所有的行李都准备好了吗?

(nǐ mínɡtiān yào chénɡzuò fēijī, suǒyǒude xínɡlǐ dōu zhǔnbèi hǎo le ma?)

B: All ready. But according to anti-pandemic regulations I still have to get a nucleic acid test before I go on board. 

我准备好了,但依照相应防疫规定,我仍需要在登机前做一次核酸检测。

(wǒ zhǔnbèi hǎo le, dàn yīzhào xiānɡyīnɡ fánɡyì ɡuīdìnɡ, wǒ rénɡ xūyào zài dēnɡjī qián zuò yīcì hésuān jiǎncè.)

说起核酸检测,你知道关于它的任何新闻吗?

(shuōqǐ hésuān jiǎncè, nǐ zhīdào ɡuānyú tāde rènhé xīnwén ma?)

我正好知道一个。最近有一位在陕西的5岁小男孩,在做完核酸检测后对着医护人员说:"谢谢你保护我。"
