Introduction

Main Body
The government says some people must stay in a special place. They cannot go home. People from Ebola areas cannot enter the US. Some US citizens must stay in hospitals in Europe or Kenya.
政府表示部分人員必須留在特定地點，不能回家。來自伊博拉疫區的人員禁止進入美國。部分美國公民必須留在歐洲或肯亞的醫院中。
The CDC wants to watch people 24 hours a day. Florida does not want to do this. Florida says their old rules are good. Now, some Americans must stay in a center in Nebraska because Florida says no.
CDC希望對人員進行24小時全天候監控，但佛羅里達州不願配合。佛州表示其原有規定已足夠。因此，由於佛州拒絕執行，部分美國人目前必須留在內布拉斯加州的中心內。
Some people say these rules are about politics, not health. They think other countries will hide the sickness. Other doctors say the rules are good because the virus is very dangerous and kills many people.
有人認為這些規定涉及政治而非健康問題，認為其他國家會隱瞞病情。但其他醫生則認為這些規定是正確的，因為該病毒極其危險且致死率高。
Conclusion
The national government and the state government are still angry. Some people must stay alone for a long time.
聯邦政府與州政府仍處於對立狀態。部分人員必須長時間單獨隔離。
Vocabulary Learning
🧩 The 'Must' Pattern
In this text, we see a word used to show strong rules. When something is required by law or a boss, we use must.
How it works:
Person → must → Action
Examples from the text:
- Some people → must stay in a special place.
- US citizens → must stay in hospitals.
- Americans → must stay in a center.
Important Tip: Notice that we don't say "must to stay" or "must stays". It is always the simple action word.
Contrast:
- Rules: You must stay. (100% required)
- Ideas: They think... (Just an opinion)
