CNN News: 美國藥物濫用問題再次引發(fā)深思

Hi. I`m Carl Azuz and this is CNN 10.

大家好，我是卡爾·阿祖茲，歡迎您收看CNN學(xué)生新聞。

Today`s show begins with an in-depth explanation of opioid abuse in America. Opioids are synthetic drugs that can be prescribed to control pain. They`re also widely abused in the U.S. and they`re a major part of the reason why drugs are the leading cause of accidental death in the country. They surpassed car accidents years ago.

今天節(jié)目的頭條新聞是深入探討美國的阿片樣物質(zhì)(也叫類鴉片)濫用事件。類鴉片是可以控制疼痛的合成藥物。現(xiàn)在這種藥物在美國遭到濫用，這也是為什么毒品是美國意外死亡事件罪魁禍?zhǔn)椎闹饕?。毒品引發(fā)的死亡率在數(shù)年前就已經(jīng)超過了車禍。

Epidemiologists specifically blamed the abuse of heroine and opioids for the dramatic rise of drug overdose deaths. It`s an epidemic and the illegal use of fentanyl, a drug many times more potent than heroin or morphine, factors in.

流行病學(xué)家特別譴責(zé)了由于海洛因和類鴉片濫用導(dǎo)致的藥物過量引發(fā)死亡率大幅上升。這是一種病態(tài)流行趨勢。非法使用芬太尼也在其中。芬太尼是一種藥效比海洛因和嗎啡強(qiáng)很多的藥物。

The Trump administration and the former Obama administration have both spoken out about this issue. Late last month, First Lady Melania Trump led a roundtable discussion on opioid abuse, focusing in particular on how it involves young people. And yesterday, Mrs. Trump visited a recovery center that helps infants who were born addicted to the drugs their mothers were on.

特朗普政府和前奧巴馬政府都曾公開談?wù)撨^這個問題。而在上月底，第一夫人美拉尼亞·特朗普關(guān)于類鴉片濫用問題舉行了圓桌會談。談?wù)摰闹攸c在于類鴉片濫用對青少年的影響。而在昨天，她探訪了一家康復(fù)中心，這家康復(fù)中心幫助那些由于母親吸毒而先天對毒品上癮的嬰兒。

Examples of people who`ve gotten hooked, people who`ve died from overdoses , people whose relatives and friends are involved can be seen in every corner of America.

被引誘吸毒的人、死于用藥過量的人、親屬或朋友沉溺吸毒的人， 這樣的人在美國并不少見。
