Doctors Give Man New Eye
Doctors are always finding new ways to help people. Now, for the first time
ever, they've given someone a new eye! His name is Aaron …
醫生有史以來第一次成功移植一顆新的眼球給一個叫作Aaron的人。
Aaron works with electricity. Electricity is full of power. It's made in
power stations. Power lines take electricity to our homes.
Aaron在電力公司上班。發電廠生產電,電線再將電傳送到家庭。
One power line takes electricity to many homes. Touching a power line is very
dangerous! So power lines are high above the ground. This keeps people safe.
電線傳送電力到不同的家庭。碰觸電線很危險,所以電線都在高處防止人家不小心被電到。
Aaron's job was fixing power lines. One day, he touched a power line. It was
an accident. Aaron got a big, bad shock! Seven thousand two hundred volts hit
his body. That's electricity for 30 houses!
Aaron 有一天修理電線的時候,遭到7200伏特的高壓電擊中,相當於30間房屋的用電量。
Aaron almost died! Half of his face was gone! One of Aaron's eyes was gone
too. Aaron took a selfie. He saw inside his skull!
Aaron 差一點死掉,他不僅半張臉毀容,也失去了一隻眼睛。
One hundred forty doctors and nurses worked 21 hours in one day to help
Aaron. They saved his life! And, they gave him a new eye too!
140位醫生跟護士花了21個小時,救了他的性命,也給他一顆新的眼球。
A team of over 100 doctors and nurses saved Aaron's life, and his eye!
