    “团团”是大陆赠台大熊猫,2008年起在台北安家,并与另一只同期赠台的大熊猫“圆圆”先后产下“圆仔”和“圆宝”,受到众多台湾民众喜爱。

    “团团”自2022年8月被观察到疑似癫痫的症状后,分别于9月和10月接受了两次核磁共振检查,发现病灶区域明显扩大,病情进展快速。虽然“团团”的病情尚未确认,但从检查结果看,极有可能是脑部患有恶性肿瘤。

    The 18-year-old male panda named Tuan Tuan, one of twogiant pandas gifted by the mainland to Taiwan in 2008, appeared increasingly lethargic and unsteady on his feet recently, arousing concerns on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

    在得知“团团”患病的消息后,大熊猫保护研究中心9月下旬即成立专家组,与台北动物园保持密切联系,持续关注“团团”的治疗情况,并提供相关技术支持。10月27日下午中心收到台北动物园请求协助的邀请函后,选派两名专家赴台参与“团团”的治疗和护理。11月1日,在大熊猫饲养管理、疾病防控、科研繁殖等领域具有丰富经验的专家吴虹林和魏明抵台。

    Two mainland veterinarians, Wu Honglin and Wei Ming, sent by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan province, arrived in Taiwan on Tuesday to examine the panda's health.The center received a request for assistance from the zoo on Oct 27 and soon decided to send the two specialists on giant panda health to the zoo.

    从这几天的观察交流情况来看,专家们认为,“团团”的采食情况、精神状态、走路姿态均有所改善,连续正常的走动时间也在不断增加。

    From their observations and communications over the past few days, they think Tuan Tuan's appetite, mental condition and its walking posture have all improved, while its continuous normal walking time has also increased, according to the statement.

    专家们表示,从目前情况看,大熊猫“团团”的病因还需要进一步准确判定,但“团团”眼下的身体状况暂时不适宜再进行麻醉和侵入性检查。鉴于“团团”身体状况逐渐向好,经与动物园交流后达成共识,未来一段时间将继续采取舒缓治疗方式,同时根据病情实时调整治疗方案,并积极追溯病因,争取达到更好的治疗效果。

    Based on his current physical condition, Tuan Tuan is not a candidate for anesthesia or invasive examination to obtain a precise diagnosis, the experts said. Considering that Tuan Tuan is improving, the experts have decided to continue palliative treatment for a while, read the statement.

    虽然在台湾只有短短数日,不过专家们已经感受到台湾民众对“团团”的牵挂和关切。专家们表示,在台北这几天,每天都看到很多台湾同胞通过不同的方式向“团团”表达关爱和祝福。许多台湾民众在台北动物园大熊猫馆展览出口处设置的“团团,我想跟你说”专区留言祝福,在台北动物园社交平台送上祝福,还有一些“粉丝”每天来大熊猫馆现场给“团团”加油、祝福。“我们希望,广大台湾同胞的祝福能给大熊猫‘团团’带来战胜疾病的力量。”魏明说。

    Although the two experts have only been on the island for a few days, they have felt the care and concern from the local public toward the giant panda. According to the experts, they have witnessed many Taiwan compatriots extending their best wishes to the panda through both online social media platforms and at the zoo. "We hope these best wishes will bring more power and courage to Tuan Tuan to overcome the disease," Wei said.

    “如果后期还需要我们来台协助治疗和护理,我们大熊猫保护研究中心将一如既往地提供支持和援助。我们衷心祝愿‘团团’尽快渡过难关,早日康复!”魏明说。

    "We will continue to assist the treatment. We sincerely hope that Tuan Tuan will recover soon,"said Wei Ming.
