兩名臉書員工可能接觸到致命的神經(jīng)性毒劑沙林，在此之前，一個(gè)可疑的包裹被送至該公司的郵件站點(diǎn)。

Authorities evacuated staff and put the Menlo Park site at the social media giant’s HQ in California under quarantine as they conducted additional testing.
政府當(dāng)局疏散了該社交媒體巨頭的員工，還把其加利福尼亞總部的門羅帕克站點(diǎn)隔離了起來并進(jìn)行了附加檢測(cè)。

The suspicious package was delivered at around 11am, yesterday, to one of the company’s mail rooms, spokesman Anthony Harrison said.
該公司的發(fā)言人安東尼·哈里森表示，這個(gè)可疑的包裹是昨天上午11點(diǎn)左右被送至該公司的一間郵件收發(fā)室的。

門羅帕克消防局長(zhǎng)喬恩·約翰斯頓補(bǔ)充道：“我們認(rèn)為，他們接觸到的物質(zhì)有兩種可能性，但目前他們并沒有表現(xiàn)出任何跡象或癥狀?！?/div>

Incoming mail undergoing routine processing by machine tested positive for sarin, but it could have been a false positive, Mr Johnston said.
約翰斯頓先生表示，機(jī)器對(duì)外來郵件進(jìn)行的例行檢測(cè)顯示，沙林檢測(cè)的結(jié)果呈陽性，但也有可能是誤報(bào)。

聯(lián)邦疾病控制預(yù)防中心表示，沙林是一種戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)化學(xué)毒劑，它是一種透明無色無味的液體。

It can evaporate into the environment, prompting symptoms within seconds.
它可以蒸發(fā)到空氣中，而且在幾秒內(nèi)就能引發(fā)癥狀。

皮膚上沾到一滴沙林就會(huì)引起出汗以及肌肉抽搐，而接觸到大劑量沙林會(huì)導(dǎo)致癱瘓以及呼吸衰竭從而致死。

The CDC says people who are mildly exposed usually recover completely. Four buildings were evacuated but three have since been cleared for people to go back in.
