醫(yī)學(xué)英語：喝酒嗑藥對糖尿病人的危害

Hi, Jess. How are you this week?

你好，杰斯。這周你感覺怎么樣？

Hi, Rosie. I'm a bit tired, actually.

你好，羅西。我覺得有點(diǎn)累。

Sounds like a good time to have a chat about partying when you have diabetes.

是時(shí)候跟你討論下作為一位糖尿病患者還參加派對的事情了。

OK. You're probably right.

好吧。你說的有道理。

Have you been going out a lot with your friends lately?

最近你經(jīng)常跟朋友出去玩嗎？

Yeah. I've been partying pretty hard.

是的。我最近玩的太嗨了。

Have you been drinking more alcohol than usual?

最近飲酒是不是比平時(shí)多？

Yeah, I suppose I have.

對，我想是這樣的。

I need to talk to you about alcohol and diabetes. You have to be very careful or your blood sugars may drop too much. Alcohol can lower your blood sugars so you could have more hypos.

我需要和你談?wù)劸凭c糖尿病之間的利害關(guān)系。你必須得注意些否則你的血糖會大幅度下降。酒精會降低血糖，所以你更容易受刺激。

I have had a few lately if I had a big night out.

最近外出徹夜狂歡，我都會少量飲酒。

It's good to know how much alcohol is safe to drink.

知道飲酒時(shí)適量，這一點(diǎn)非常好。

How much can I have?

我應(yīng)該飲酒多少才算適量？

Women shouldn't have more than 14 units of alcohol a week.

女性一周的飲酒量應(yīng)限制在14個(gè)單位內(nèi)。

What's a unit?

這個(gè)單位是什么意思？

A unit of alcohol is 1 standard glass of wine or half a pint of beer.

1個(gè)單位酒精量是指1個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)杯的葡萄酒或半品脫啤酒。

That's not much, is it?

這點(diǎn)含量不算多，對嗎？

No, it isn't. Also, you shouldn't drink on an empty stomach. Always have a meal or a snack while you're drinking.

是的。此外，不可以空腹喝酒。喝酒的時(shí)候最好與飯菜或者點(diǎn)心搭配。

OK. I'd better plan my nights out a bit better from now on.

好的，現(xiàn)在起我得好好規(guī)劃下我的夜生活了。

Good idea. The other thing I need to talk to you about is recreational drugs. Taking drugs can be more harmful for diabetics than for non-diabetics.

好主意。接下來我還得跟你聊聊毒品。糖尿病患者吸毒的危害遠(yuǎn)大于非糖尿病患者。

Yeah. Honestly, I stay away from drugs.

是的，老實(shí)說，我已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)離毒品了。

That's good. You still need to understand what can happen just in case.

非常好。不過為了以防萬一，你還是需要明白這樣做的后果。

I suppose so.

我也這么認(rèn)為。

Taking drugs like speed or ecstasy can change your diabetes routine. You may not eat your meals on time or you may forget your insulin.

吸食speed或者ecstasy等毒品會改變你的糖尿病常規(guī)。你可能會忘記吃飯或者注射胰島素。

I wouldn't do that.

我會那樣做的。

It' good to be aware of what might happen.

最好還是了解一下這樣做的危害。

Which is?

什么危害？

Drugs are like alcohol. They can make your blood sugars drop. You could have a hypo.

毒品與酒精無異。同樣會引起血糖下降。你可能會受到刺激。

I'll be careful.

我會多加注意的。

That's good. Ring me if you need to ask any questions, won't you?

很好。需要幫助的話可以隨時(shí)給我打電話，行嗎？

Thanks, Rosie. I know I can always talk to you.

多謝，羅西。我知道我可以隨時(shí)找你幫忙。
