CPR part of school curriculum

心肺复苏纳入教育内容

China has asked all public schools to teach students first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation as part of children's health education to address the public's lack of knowledge and competence to step in during a first aid emergency, according to a joint statement by the Ministry of Education and Red Cross Society of China on Monday. There are as many as 550,000 sudden cardiac deaths in China every year, meaning one person dies per minute due to cardiac arrest, according to the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases. 
为解决公众急救知识和能力不足的问题，中国红十字会和教育部8月24日联合印发的通知，要求所有公立学校将急救知识和心肺复苏术纳入儿童健康教育内容。国家心血管病中心称，我国每年心脏性猝死发病人数多达55万，相当于每分钟就有1人因心脏骤停而死。

About 60 percent of these deaths occur outside hospitals and the survival rate of a patient who received CPR outside a hospital is less than 4.5 percent in China, compared with about 47.5 percent in developed countries. The public in China is severely lacking in knowledge of first aid and the number of people who have received first aid training stands at a mere 1 percent. In the city of Beijing, the rate is slightly higher at 4 percent.
此类死亡病例中约60%发生在医院以外的地方。患者院外心肺复苏的成功率不足4.5%，相较而言发达国家这一概率约为47.5%。我国公众急救知识极为缺乏，急救培训普及率仅为1%。北京市的急救培训普及率略高，为4%。

NBA postpones playoff games
NBA球队罢赛恐陷入停摆

The Milwaukee Bucks staged an unprecedented boycott of the NBA playoffs on Wednesday, forcing the league to postpone three games following outrage over the latest shooting of an unarmed black man by US police. The postponements marked a dramatic escalation in the NBA's fight for racial equality, which has swept through the league in the months since the killing of African-American George Floyd, by police in Minneapolis in May. 
由于一名手无寸铁的黑人男子被警方枪击引发愤怒，8月26日，密尔沃基雄鹿队发起了一场史无前例的抵制美国职业篮球协会(NBA)季后赛的活动，导致联盟的三场比赛被迫推迟。这标志着NBA争取种族平等的斗争急剧升级。今年5月，非洲裔美国人乔治·弗洛伊德在明尼阿波利斯因警方暴力执法而死，此后数月，种族平等抗争在联盟中蔓延。

A wave of anger rippled across the NBA after Sunday's shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man, in the Bucks' home state on Sunday. Blake was shot seven times in the back by police in Kenosha as he attempted to get into a car containing his three children. Reports surfaced that some other NBA teams, including the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors, were having serious discussions about joining the boycott.
