BBC环球慢速英语 第375期:淋巴丝虫病(3)

voice 1: Antoinette asked doctors to cut off her leg. But the doctors would not do it. They said that having a large leg is better than having no leg. They said that if they cut off her leg, other parts of her body could become large and swollen.
声音1：安托万内特希望医生截掉她的腿。但是医生不会这样做。他们说腿部肿胀总比没有腿强。他们说，如果他们截掉了她的腿，那她身体的其他部位也会变大变肿。

voice 2: This is a common problem among people in very poor countries. Mosquitos, insects that drink blood, spread the disease. The mosquitos carry young worms, a long, thin organism, in their bodies. These long thin organisms enter a person's body when the mosquito bites him. One worm in a person's body does not do damage. But when many worms enter a person's body, then problems begin.
声音2：这是贫穷国家居民的常见问题。吸血的蚊子和昆虫会传播这种疾病。蚊子体内携带着寄生虫幼虫，这是一种又长又细的生物。当人被蚊子叮咬后，这些又长又细的生物就会进入人体。体内有一只寄生虫并不会造成危害。但是当许多只寄生虫进入人体后，就会出现问题。
