英語播客初級版 第195期(外教講解):學(xué)習(xí)急救

A: Hey，Joe! Where have you been these past few days?
B: I’ve been busy with a first aid course that I started about a week ago at the Red Cross.
A: Cool! I’ve always wanted to do something like that! Have you learned anything useful?
B: For sure! I mean we’ve learned how to apply pressure to stop bleeding, how to check for a pulse, and even how to apply CPR!
A: Have you treated any real emergencies?
B: Well, they took us along with some paramedics. There was this guy who fell off his motorcycle and suffered a concussion as well as a couple of compound fractures. His wounds were pretty serious so they had to rush him to the hospital. It was intense!
A: I can imagine! I tend to faint when I see blood, so I think I won’t be taking up a course like that anytime soon!

A: 嗨，喬，這些天你去哪里了?
B: 我一直忙于一周前在紅十字會那里開始學(xué)的急救課程。
A: 真酷，我也一直想做點那類的是。你學(xué)到什么有用的東西了嗎?
B: 當(dāng)然。我學(xué)會了如何按壓來止血，如何來檢查麥博，甚至也學(xué)了如何用心肺復(fù)蘇法。
A: 你治療過緊急事故嗎?
B: 他們讓一些護理人員帶我們。有一個人從摩托上摔下來，收到了震蕩，還有幾處綜合性骨折。他的傷很嚴重，所以他們必須飛速將他送往醫(yī)院，真是很緊急。
A: 我能想到，一看到血我就暈。所以我再也不會參加那樣的課程了。
