选注者言:我的父亲年事已高,去年一不小心滑倒在卫生间里,从此卧床不起。今在网上读到此文,有相见恨晚之心。我将此文推荐给贵刊,希望刊登,希望年轻读者能在“回家看看”时,将本文的信息转告老人:One of every three Americanadults 65 or older falls each year,and falls are the leading cause of injury deaths inthat age group.此外,本文提出的预防老人滑倒的很多措施也很科学周到。 The commentator said: My father was very old. He accidentally slipped into the bathroom last year and was bedridden. Reading this article on the Internet today has a heart of hatred. I recommend this article to your magazine and hope to publish it. I hope that young readers can convey this article to the elderly when they “go home and see”: One of every three American adults 65 or older falls each year, and falls are the leading cause. In addition, the measures proposed in this paper to prevent the elderly from slipping are also very scientific and thoughtful.
