能用来救命的歌曲,你听过吗?

U.S. doctors have found the Bee Gees 1977 disco anthem "Stayin' Alive" provides an ideal beat to follow while performing chest compressions as part of CPR on a heart attack victim.

美国医生发现，比基斯乐队1977年的迪斯科歌曲《活着》能提供一个理想的节奏，可在心脏病突发患者实施胸部按压（心脏复苏术的一部分）时采用。

The American Heart Association calls for chest compressions to be given at a rate of 100 per minute in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). "Stayin' Alive" almost perfectly matches that, with 103 beats per minute.
美国心脏协会要求在心肺复苏抢救时胸部按压的节奏应为每分钟100次。而《活着》的节奏几乎完全与此匹配，为每分钟103次。

CPR is a lifesaving technique involving chest compressions alone or with mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing. It is used in emergencies such as cardiac arrest in which a person's breathing or heartbeat has stopped.
心肺复苏术（CPR）是一种生命急救术，包括单独进行胸部按压以及同时进行胸部按压与人工呼吸，在心搏停止（呼吸或心跳停止）等紧急情况下使用。

CPR can triple survival rates, but some people are reluctant to do it in part because they are unsure about the proper rhythm for chest compressions. But research has shown many people do chest compressions too slowly during CPR.
CPR可使患者的存活率提高三倍，但有些人在实施时犹豫不决，部分也是因为不知道正确的胸部按压节奏。而研究发现许多人在实施CPR的胸部按压时节奏太慢。

In a small study headed by Dr. David Matlock of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, listening to "Stayin' Alive" helped 15 doctors to perform chest compressions on dummies at the proper speed.
伊利诺斯大学医学院的戴维马特洛克医生主持了一次小实验，在实验中，15名听着《活着》一曲的医生得以用正确的节奏给假人实施了胸部按压。

Five weeks after practicing with the music playing, they were asked to perform CPR again on dummies by keeping the song in their minds, and again they kept up a good pace.
在听歌练习了五周以后，这些医生被要求再次给假人实施CPR，但这回只能在脑海中想着这首歌，结果他们再次保持了良好的节奏。

"The theme 'Stayin' Alive' is very appropriate for the situation," Matlock said in a telephone interview. "Everybody's heard it at some point in their life. People know the song and can keep it in their head."
马特洛克在一次电话参访时说，“《活着》这首歌的主题很符合这种情况。每个人都曾在一生中的某个时候听到过。人们知道它，也能记起它。”

附：《活着》歌词
Stayin' Alive
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Well now, I get low and I get high,
and if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right. It's OK.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
the New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm,
I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah.
