CNN News: 美國(guó)嚴(yán)查芬太尼

Getting started this Monday, it’s considered one of the most dangerous drugs in the world. It factors in heavily to the heroin epidemic we’ve reported on in the U.S. But it’s also blamed for deaths in Europe, Africa, and Australia.

今日頭條新聞，這種藥被認(rèn)為是世界上最危險(xiǎn)的藥品之一。我們之前曾經(jīng)報(bào)道過(guò)，這種藥在美國(guó)對(duì)海洛因流行影響很大。但是，這種藥也導(dǎo)致歐洲、亞洲和澳大利亞很多人死亡。

Fentanyl is a manmade painkiller. The United Nations recently put restrictions on some of the chemicals used to make it. It says fentanyl is the strongest painkiller in existence for medical use, but then it’s also highly addictive and especially dangerous when abused because it’s so powerful, many times stronger than even heroin itself.

芬太尼是一種人造的止痛藥。聯(lián)合國(guó)最近限制使用一些化學(xué)物品生產(chǎn)這種止痛藥。聯(lián)合國(guó)表示，芬太尼是目前醫(yī)用的藥效最強(qiáng)的止痛藥，但是由于藥效非常強(qiáng)，比海洛因的效力還要強(qiáng)上數(shù)倍，如果濫用會(huì)導(dǎo)致上癮或者引發(fā)危險(xiǎn)。

Fentanyl used to be found only in pharmacies. Now, it’s showing up in counterfeit pills, much of what’s being sold on the black market contains fentanyl. It’s much more potent than prescription medications and it’s killing people who take it.

芬太尼這種藥只在藥店銷售?，F(xiàn)在，黑市上出售的一些假冒藥品都含有芬太尼。這些假藥比處方藥的藥效要強(qiáng)，會(huì)給服用的人帶來(lái)生命危險(xiǎn)。

One challenge for U.S. officials who are trying to stop its spread, the actual machines used to make the pills. They’re arriving on American shores in a record numbers and they’re contributing to overdoses in every corner of the country.

現(xiàn)在試圖阻止這種藥傳播的美國(guó)官員面臨的難題是，用來(lái)制造這些藥的機(jī)器?，F(xiàn)在，這些機(jī)器以超高數(shù)量抵達(dá)美國(guó)，并且使美國(guó)各地這種藥物服用過(guò)量。

It’s happening all over the country, in New Mexico, in Florida, in California. People are dying from counterfeit pills made with a dangerous synthetic drug called fentanyl, a drug that’s 25 to 50 times stronger than heroin, up to 100 times more potent than morphine.

新墨西哥、佛羅里達(dá)、加州等美國(guó)各地都在上演這樣的一幕。很多人由于服用還有芬太尼的假藥而致命。芬太尼是一種危險(xiǎn)的合成藥品，其藥效比海洛因要高出25到50倍，而比普通的嗎啡高出100倍。

People have died from ingesting what they think is a legitimate painkiller and it’s a counterfeit pill that contains fentanyl.

很多人由于攝取他們?nèi)魏蔚暮戏ㄖ雇此幎鴨拭?。但是這種止痛藥是假冒產(chǎn)品，內(nèi)含芬太尼。
