The Plague of Justinian killed 25 million people worldwide

查士丁尼瘟疫（死亡2500万人）

The bubonic plague slipped into Constantinople from China in 541 AD killing up to 10,000 people a day at its peak.

这场在公元541年从中国传播到君士坦丁堡的鼠疫在传播到最顶峰时，曾在里就造成一万人死亡。

The plague decimated the Emperor Justinian's tax-base, undermining his ability to battle the Vandal and the Goth and effectively ended the chance of uniting the Western and Eastern Roman Empires.

这场瘟疫摧毁了查士丁尼大帝的税收基础，削弱了他对汪达尔人和哥特人的进攻，从而阻碍了东西罗马帝国的合并。

Justinian himself was one of the few infected by the plague who, in the end, survived。

查士丁尼也在这次瘟疫中受到了传染，但却幸存了下来。
