CNN新闻英语第 93 课：Lifesaving Around the Pool 泳池边的急救-1

RHONDA ROWLAND, CNN MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT 罗纳·罗兰德，CNN医药记者
Sanjay, each year in the United States, there are about 4,000 drownings. These deaths can occur in public pools like this, home pools, on lakes. To help talk to us about how to stay safe around water, we're joined by the American Red Cross's Sean Penn. This is the Sean Penn who saves lives. 杉界先生，美国每年大约有4,000人溺毙，出事地点可能是在像这样的公共泳池、私家泳池或是湖里。为了帮助大家了解如何确保在水中的安全，我们邀请了美国红十字会的塞安·潘恩先生为我们做讲解。他就是救人于危难的塞安·潘恩先生。

SEAN PENN, AMERICAN RED CROSS 塞安·潘恩，美国红十字会
That's what we're here for, that's what we try to do. 救护生命正是我们来这里的目的，也是我们要竭尽全力去做的事情。

ROWLAND 罗兰德
First of all, Sean, how do you, can you tell if somebody's in danger in the water? 首先，塞安先生，您如何判定一个人在水中遇到了危险？

PENN 潘恩
You're going to recognize a victim that's not making any forward progress. They may be flailing their arms, but they're not moving forward in the water. Or they may just quietly slip below the surface, or be floating on the surface face down and not moving. One of those three things is a good sign that they may be in trouble. 你一眼就能看出无法向前游动的溺水者。他们可能会无助地乱摆手臂，但却丝毫没有前进。他们也可能只是在水里安静地下沉，或是脸朝下浮在水面上，一动不动。只要出现上述三种情况中的一种，就充分说明他们遇到麻烦了。

ROWLAND 罗兰德
Your first tendency may be to jump in after them. What should you do? 你的第一反应可能是跳入水中向他们游去。可实际上你该怎样做呢？

PENN Well 潘恩
Well, your first tendency should be to reach something out to them. Reach your hand out. Or you may have a pole like this one. 首先要做的应该是递给他们一样可供抓拿的东西。把手伸过去或是递过一根这样的竿子。

ROWLAND 罗兰德
Like what Sherena (ph) has here at poolside? 就像谢瑞娜在泳池边拿的那种。

PENN 潘恩
With a net on it, or maybe just the other end, hand them the pole, and pull them to the side. If they're conscious, if they're conscious and active, talk to them, and tell them to pull it on in. You may have a ring buoy at a home pool. This is going to extend your reach beyond the length of the pole; it's something that they can hang on to and float with until you can pull them back to safety. 将竿子有网的一头，另一头也行，递给水池中的溺水者，扯动竿子将他们拉到池边。如果他们还有意识，能活动，同他们说话，告诉他们拉住竿子上岸。泳池边要备有救生圈。它会使你的营救范围扩大到竿子递不到的地方，溺水者可以紧紧抓住救生圈，随之漂移，直到你将他们拉到安全的地方。
