量血压

字幕原文

Jill has high blood pressure, and she needs to keep it from climbing any higher. 吉尔患有高血压，她需要防止血压进一步升高。

Her doctor asked her to check it once a week, 她的医生让她每周量一次血压，

so today she tries it for the first time, 所以今天她第一次尝试量血压，

at the back of the drugstore. 在药店的后面。

She sits down, wraps the cuff around her arm, and takes a reading. 她坐下来，把袖带缠在手臂上，然后测量了一下。

Too high. 太高了。

She takes another. 她又量了一次。

Still too high. 还是太高了。

A third. 又量了第三次。

High again. 又高了。

"Something is wrong," Jill tells the clerk. “好像有问题，”吉尔对店员说。

"These numbers seem too high." “这些数字看起来太高了。”

The clerk smiles. 店员笑了。

"That can happen when you move your arm or your head. “你移动手臂或头部时，可能会出现这种情况。

You have to be completely still." 你必须完全保持静止。”

So Jill tries once more — this time perfectly still. 于是吉尔又试了一次——这次她完全保持静止。

The reading settles right where it should be. 读数正好显示在正常值。

The numbers were never wrong. 那些数字从来没有错。

She just had to be still long enough to read them true. 她只是需要足够长时间地保持静止，才能得到准确的读数。

Some things in life are like that: you only see them clearly once you stop moving. 生活中有些事情就是这样：只有当你静止下来，才能看清它们。
