英语美文:珍惜每一天，它比你想象得珍贵

Within minutes Terry’s unconscious body was picked up by paramedics at the side of the road.

很快，不省人事的特里被救护人员抬到了马路一旁。

Noticing his skin had taken on a deep blue hue——indicating a lack of oxygen——medics put a pipe down Terry’s throat, and he was rushed to nearby Oshawa General hospital.

他的皮肤呈青紫色，很明显他已经严重缺氧。医生把一根管子插进了特里的喉咙，他被迅速送到了附近的奥沙华全科医院。

“By the time Terry came in, we were ready and waiting for him,” said Marianne Timmermans, one of the nurses who initially worked on him. He was in critical condition.

“特里被送进来之前，我们早已准备就绪，在等着他了。”当年照顾他的其中一位护士玛丽安•提莫曼斯说。特里的情况相当危急。

Moments later, police arrived at the Evanshen home with the news. Lorraine, Terry’s wife of 25 years, remembers seeing him in the intensive care unit for the first time after the accident.

过了一会儿，警察来到了伊文森家里，将这一意外告知了他的家人。和特里生活了25年的妻子洛兰，回忆起事故后第一次在重症监护病房看到丈夫时的情形。

There was nothing but machines all over him. He wasn’t a pretty sight, and at that time their hope and that of the doctors wasn’t very good. Terry lay deep in a coma.
