What English phrases do you need in an emergency abroad?

Excuse me, my friend just collapsed. I think it's heatstroke — he's been in the sun all day and he's burning up.

打扰了，我的朋友刚倒下了。我觉得是中暑——他在太阳下待了一天，浑身发烫。

💡 美国的国家公园和户外景区经常有游客中暑。一旦体温超过 104°F (40°C) 就是紧急情况，需要立即降温。

He's mumbling but not making sense. I don't think he's had much water. His skin is really hot and dry — he's not sweating at all.

他在嘟囔但说不清楚。我觉得他没怎么喝水。他的皮肤又烫又干——完全没出汗。

💡 皮肤热且干燥、不出汗是严重中暑的典型症状。正常中暑还会出汗，不出汗说明身体调节机制已经失效。

I'm pouring water on him now. Should I give him water to drink? How long until the ambulance gets here?

我正在往他身上浇水。需要给他喝水吗？救护车多久能到？

💡 不要给意识不清的人喝水，他们可能呛到导致更危险的情况。

I'm feeling really dizzy and nauseous. I've been hiking for hours and I think I might have heat exhaustion. What's the difference between that and heatstroke?

我觉得很头晕恶心。我已经徒步好几个小时了，我觉得我可能是热衰竭。热衰竭和中暑有什么区别？

💡 美国国家公园每年都有大量中暑病例。了解热衰竭和中暑的区别很重要，前者可以自行处理，后者必须送医。

Yeah, I'm sweating like crazy. My shirt is soaked through. I also have a bad headache and my legs feel really weak.

是的，我出汗出得特别厉害。衬衫都湿透了。我还有严重的头痛，腿感觉很软。

💡 美国人形容大量出汗常说 sweating like crazy 或 sweating bullets，很少说 sweating a lot。

How long should I rest before trying to walk again? We still need to get back to the trailhead and it's about two miles.

我应该休息多久才能再走？我们还要回到步道入口，大概还有两英里。

💡 trailhead 是美国徒步常用词，指步道的起点/入口处，通常有停车场和信息牌。
