Medically speaking, I've noticed over the years that we can be infected by US health problems. A case in point is opioid addiction, which affects 65,000 people annually in the US and is the leading cause of death in people under 50. That could never happen here you say, we're too careful to let potent painkillers get out of hand. Don't be too sure. 从医学角度来说，我发现随着时间的推移，我们可能会感染一些存在于美国的健康问题。一个典型的例子就是阿片类成瘾。在美国，阿片类上瘾每年影响65000人，也是50岁以下人群的主要死亡原因。你会说在我国永远都不会发生这种情况，我们十分小心，不会让强效止痛药失去控制。但不要太过肯定哦。 A paper published in 2013 highlighted a rise in tramadol (an opioid) deaths in the UK. In 1996, tramadol was linked to one death in England and Wales. By 2011, it accounted for 154. The report called for close monitoring of "any increase in deaths caused by opioid analgesics because it may signal an emerging problem in the UK similar to the issue that's now well established in the USA". 2013年发表的一篇文章强调了英国曲马多（一种阿片类药物）致死人数在增加。1996年，曲马多只导致英格兰和威尔士一起死亡事件。到2011年，却造成了154起死亡事件。报道呼吁密切监测"由类阿片镇痛药导致的死亡人数增加，因为这可能表明英国正出现类似于美国已确立存在的问题。" |
