孩子是家庭的希望和国家的未来，保护孩子们的安全成长是全社会的共同责任，更是我们每位家长的天职。每年暑假都会听到某某学生和伙伴们相约去游泳，玩水，不慎溺亡的消息，在惋惜的同时也提醒我们家长要重视孩子暑期的防溺水，防烧伤，防烫伤等教育。在这里也教孩子暑期溺水，烧烫伤的一些英语表达，以及急救措施。
有关溺水
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 3,900 people die from unintentional drowning in the US each year — with one in five under 14-years-old. And for each pediatric fatality, another five children require emergency care for nonfatal drownings that can causeirreversible organ damage.
美国疾病控制和预防中心估计，美国每年有3900多人死于意外溺水，其中五分之一的人年龄在14岁以下。对于每一个儿童死亡病例，另外五个儿童需要紧急护理，因为非致命性溺水可能导致不可逆转的器官损伤。
It may sound commonsensical to stay close by when kids are in or near a pool or other body of water, but it's important to know what safety experts consider close enough supervision to avoid a drowning event.
当孩子们在游泳池或其他水域附近时，呆在附近可能听起来很普通，但重要的是要知道安全专家考虑到足够的监督以避免溺水事件。
Life jackets do provide an added layer of protection against drowning, and most states require kids to wear them at all times when on a boat — regardless of their swimming strength.
救生衣确实为防止溺水提供了一层额外的保护，大多数州要求孩子在船上的任何时候都要穿救生衣——不管他们的游泳强度如何。
有关烧伤、烫伤

Burns are damage to the skin caused by heat
热力而导致的皮肤损伤统称为烧伤
A scald is caused by something wet, such as hot water or steam
由热液比如热水、蒸汽、热油等，造成的皮肤损伤成为烫伤
Scald is a kind of burn
烫伤是烧伤的一种
所以
Both are treated in the same way.
二者的急救措施是一样
急救处理
01
Immediately get the person away from the heat source to stop the burning
cool the burn with cool or lukewarm running water for 20 minutes
02
don't use ice, iced water, or any creams or greasy substances such as butter
remove any clothing or jewellery that's near the burnt area of skin, including babies' nappies，but don't move anything that's stuck to the skin
03
cover the burn by placing a layer of cling film over it
a clean plastic bag could also be used for burns on hand
04
If necessary, call 120 or get someone else to do it.
The burn may need urgent medical treatment. If you’re in any doubt, seek medical advice and always call 999 if a child has been burned.
