Learning About First Aid

Hey Joe! Where have you been these past few days?

嘿，乔！这几天你去哪儿了？

I’ve been busy with a first aid course that I started about a week ago at the Red Cross.

我最近忙着上红十字会的一个急救课程，大概一周前开始的。

Cool! I’ve always wanted to do something like that! Have you learned anything useful?

酷！我一直想学点那样的东西！你学到什么有用的了吗？

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!

当然啦！我们学了怎么按压止血、怎么测脉搏，甚至还有怎么做心肺复苏！

Have you treated any real emergencies?

你们有没有处理过真实的紧急情况？

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!

嗯，他们带我们跟着一些急救人员。有个人从摩托车上摔下来，脑震荡还有几处开放性骨折。伤口挺严重的，他们赶紧把他送医院了。场面挺紧张的！

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!

可以想象！我见血就容易晕，所以我觉得我暂时不会去上这种课了！
