1 N; J" V( H. l+ h  CBut she reassured that nothing's wrong with herself, except having fallen down due stepping on a piece of brick in a pair of new shoes.

- i: z6 C4 F5 \" ^0 w腦神經外科醫師說，

如果他能在三小時之內接觸到中風患者，
If he can reach a patient in 3 hours after a stroke attack,

: P( d% i, i9 ^: i1 w' m8 e" ~' [他就可以將中風的後果完全扭轉過來。

訣竅就是辨識診斷出中風的問題，
The trick is how to diagnose a stroke,
   
並讓病患在三小時之內接受醫療，
And let the patient have treatment within 3 hours after a stroke.

5 A& P) _% X0 _% a, QSometimes it's not easy to identify a stroke,
, X6 _0 J6 Q* {   
/ T; m" e) g7 `' E不幸的是，缺乏警覺就會帶來災難。
Yet unfortunately, it will bring disaster without proper alert.
   
身邊的人辨認不出中風的徵兆，
If people around a stroke patient are not able to tell a stroke,
   
; b0 ?# r2 c" g5 Q0 Z1 a8 F6 Y中風患者就會嚴重腦傷。
The stroke patient will suffer from serious brain injury.
   
醫生說，旁人只要問三個簡單的問題，
4 z# T- D3 i; [! k& _$ vA doctor says, if surrounding people can just ask 3 simple questions,
- y+ n' R3 U; L/ ~   
% F/ C6 H1 y0 r# \就可以辨識中風：
7 f5 U5 m/ Z  vIt is possible to diagnose a stroke.
   
, \+ n. L. W7 ~' H& R3 K* KS ： (smile) 要求患者笑一下
( i" B9 G0 \  |Ask the patient to smile
/ A3 L3 F8 e+ A2 t   
, d* ~' n% O, ?T ： (talk) 要求患者說一句簡單的句子 (要有條理，有連貫性)，例如：今天天氣晴朗。
Request the patient say a simple sentence (must be reasonable and consecutive)
，e..g. The weather is sunny today.
   
; V- c6 Y6 U) \+ I# n+ z0 f+ GR ： (raise) 要求 患者舉起雙手
Ask the patient to raise both hands at the same time
1 W  W9 C: {& r+ f   
注意 Note：
: ]* }; H5 n4 X  F: H( ^另外一項中風癥兆是： 要求患者伸出舌頭 ，如果舌頭「彎曲」或偏向一邊，那也是中風的徵兆
One more diagnose method of stroke is : Tell the patient to extrude his tongue. If the tongue is bending or leaning towards one side, that is also a symptom of stroke.
   
上面四個動作，患者如果有任何一個動作做不來，就要立刻打 999 ！！！並! 且把症狀描述給接線者聽。
  ]. b0 P, e: K6 n+ xAbove are 4 steps.  In case a patient can't do either one of such gestures, you should dial 999 !!!

A cardiac surgeon says :

收到這封電函的人， 若能將它轉寄給 10 個人，
# {7 ^6 _! \. Z6 kWhenever a person forwards this message to 10 other persons,

就至少可以救一條命。

好像中风和head trauma有本质的区别，但是无论如何，脑袋出问题，可不是小问题
