On the first Friday of February, people across America wear red — 二月的第一个星期五,全美各地的人们都会穿上红色衣服——
all for one purpose: 这一切都为了一个目的:
to raise awareness of heart disease in women. 旨在提高女性心脏病的认知度。
Most people think of heart disease as a man's problem. 大多数人认为心脏病是男性的问题。
But in fact, it kills more women than all cancers combined — 但事实上,它导致的女性死亡人数比所有癌症加起来还要多——
and most women don't realize they are at risk. 而且大多数女性并没有意识到她们有风险。
Stephanie didn't. 斯蒂芬妮就没有意识到。
At just thirty-eight, she woke at four in the morning with what felt like bad heartburn. 仅仅三十八岁时,她凌晨四点醒来,感觉胃灼热得很厉害。
Antacids didn't help. 胃药也不管用。
It turned out she was having a heart attack. 结果发现她心脏病发作了。
"I'm too young for this," she kept thinking. “我还这么年轻,怎么会这样?”她不停地想。
She wasn't. 事实并非如此。
Now she walks more, has quit smoking, 现在她多走路了,也戒烟了,
and pays attention to her own health — the way she always had 并关注自己的健康——就像她一直以来那样
for her four children, 为了她的四个孩子,
but never for herself. 但从不为自己着想。
That is the whole message behind the red dress. 这就是红色连衣裙背后的全部信息。
Women spend so much of their lives caring for everyone else 女性把生命中的大部分时间都花在照顾别人上,
that they forget to care for themselves. 以至于她们忘记了照顾自己。
Sometimes the most important person to look after is the one you keep putting last. 有时候,最重要需要照顾的人,就是你一直放在最后的那个人。
