VOA慢速英语:Fight Against Militants in Pakistan Leads to Advanced Treatments for Wounded

More than five thousand members of the Pakistani security forces have been killed in the fight against terrorists and militants since 2001. Some 10,000 regular and paramilitary troops have been wounded. The high number of deaths and injuries has resulted in improved care at the army’s top rehabilitation center in Rawalpindi. Doctors at the rehabilitation center help troops regain physical and mental skills damaged in war.

Their inspiration is South African Oscar Pistorius. He became the first double amputee Olympian in London last year -- long before he faced charges of murder.
他们的偶像是南非人奥斯卡•皮斯托利斯，皮斯托利斯去年是首位双侧截肢奥运选手，不久前他被控谋杀。

 “I had a few patients with three amputations and one patient with four limb amputations. So I think you have seen them in today’s event and they are not less than any normal person.”
“我有几个三处截肢的病人，还有一位四肢全截的病人。所以，你看他们今天的表现和正常人没什么区别。”

The experience of treating thousands of patients over the years has led to improved medical practices. These improvements include more useful artificial limbs. These replacement arms and legs are needed after severe wounds lead to amputations. Medical workers have also developed better practices for helping wounded soldiers again stand on their feet.
多年来为成千上万的病人治疗的经验，也导致了医疗水平的提高。这些改进包括更有用的假肢，那些严重受伤并截肢的患者需要这些替代的四肢。医务人员也开发出更好的做法，帮助受伤的士兵再次站起来。
 
With military efforts continuing in Pakistan’s tribal areas, there are plans to further expand the Rawalpindi rehabilitation center.
