BBC环球慢速英语 第338期:罗伦佐的油(4)
voice 2: Augusto and Michaela did take Lorenzo home. But they also decided to find out about ALD. They read every single book on the subject. In time they began to understand about the disease. The brain damage seemed to be linked to a build up of fatty acids in the blood. Augusto searched for a chemical that could destroy the fat. He read about a special sort of oil - oleic acid. This oil was able to destroy fatty acids. Could this be the answer to Lorenzo's condition? Augusto knew many science experts. He had written to them during his research. Now he decided to invite them all to a conference. There he presented his research findings. But many of the experts did not believe him. He was not medically trained. He was not a doctor. Augusto and Michaela were just two normal parents who loved their son. How could they have the answer to ALD? The condition had even beaten famous scientists.
声音2:奥古斯托和米凯拉的确带罗伦佐回了家。但是他们依然决定去了解肾上腺脑白质营养不良这种病。他们阅读了有关这一疾病的所有书籍。后来他们开始了解这种疾病。脑部损害似乎与血液中积累的脂肪酸有关。奥古斯托开始寻找能破坏这种脂肪的化学物质。他知道了一种特殊的油——油酸。这种油可以破坏脂肪酸。这能治疗罗伦佐的疾病吗?奥古斯托认识许多科学专家。他在研究中曾致信这些专家。他决定邀请这些专家参加讨论会。他在会上向专家展示了他的研究成果。但是许多专家不相信他。他没有接受过医疗培训。他不是医生。奥古斯托和米凯拉只是爱自己儿子的普通家长。他们怎么会找到治疗肾上腺脑白质营养不良的方法呢?这种疾病甚至难倒了许多著名科学家。
