A：Hey，Joe! Where have you been these past few days? 
嗨，乔，这些天你去哪里了？

B：I’ve been busy with a first aid course that I started about a week ago at the Red Cross.
我一直忙于一周前在红十字会那里开始学的急救课程。

A：Cool! I’ve always wanted to do something like that! Have you learned anything useful? 
真酷，我也一直想做点那类的是。你学到什么有用的东西了吗？

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!
当然。我学会了如何按压来止血，如何来检查麦博，甚至也学了如何用心肺复苏法。

A：Have you treated any real emergencies? 
你治疗过紧急事故吗？

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!
他们让一些护理人员带我们。有一个人从摩托上摔下来，收到了震荡，还有几处综合性骨折。他的伤很严重，所以他们必须飞速将他送往医院，真是很紧急。

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! 
我能想到，一看到血我就晕。所以我再也不会参加那样的课程了。
