危險(xiǎn)的金屬吸管

A British coroner is warning of the dangers of metal straws following a woman dying after a straw impaled her eye and caused a brain injury.

一名英國(guó)驗(yàn)尸官警告說(shuō)，金屬吸管有危險(xiǎn)。此前，一名女子被一根吸管刺穿眼睛，導(dǎo)致腦部受傷，最終死亡。

According to The Telegraph, Elena Struthers-Gardner was carrying a mason-jar style glass with a screw-top lid in her Dorset kitchen when she fell and her left eye was impaled by the 10-inch stainless steel straw in the glass.

據(jù)英國(guó)《每日電訊報(bào)》報(bào)道，埃琳娜·斯特拉瑟斯·加德納(Elena Struthers Gardner)在多塞特郡的廚房摔倒時(shí)，她的左眼被10英寸不銹鋼吸管刺穿，當(dāng)時(shí)她正拿著一個(gè)帶有螺旋蓋的瓦罐風(fēng)的玻璃杯。

The straw struck her brain stem and hit the back of her skill causing a traumatic brain injury. She died in hospital the next day.

這根吸管從她的腦干穿過(guò)，直到后腦勺，造成了嚴(yán)重的腦損傷，第二天她便在醫(yī)院去世了。

At an inquest in Bournemouth on Tuesday, coroner Brendan Allen warned against lodging metal straws into lids that fix them in place.

在本周二(7-9)在伯恩茅斯進(jìn)行的一次調(diào)查中，驗(yàn)尸官布倫丹·艾倫警告說(shuō)，不要將金屬吸管固定到蓋子上。

"Clearly great care should be taken when using these metal straws," Allen said.

艾倫強(qiáng)調(diào)：“很明顯，在使用這些金屬吸管時(shí)應(yīng)該非常小心。”

"There is no give in them at all. If someone does fall on one and it's pointed in the wrong direction, serious injury can occur."

“吸管太堅(jiān)硬了，一旦有人跌倒的角度錯(cuò)誤，就會(huì)造成嚴(yán)重的傷害。”

Elena's wife, Mandy, agreed the straws could be dangerous.

埃琳娜的妻子曼迪也表示金屬吸管太危險(xiǎn)了。

"I just feel that in the hands of mobility challenged people like Elena, or children, or even able-bodied people losing their footing, these things are so long and very strong.

“我覺(jué)得，對(duì)埃琳娜、孩子們，甚至是一時(shí)疏忽的健全人來(lái)說(shuō)，這根吸管都太長(zhǎng)和太結(jié)實(shí)了。

"Even if they don't end a life they can be very dangerous."

“即使沒(méi)有生命危險(xiǎn)，也可能會(huì)造成傷害。”

Elena had been prone to falling over due injuries she sustained in an accident when she was a jockey.

埃琳娜是一名騎師，在一次事故中受傷后，導(dǎo)致生活中經(jīng)常摔倒。
