(单词翻译)

   A lethal1 dose cyanide of can take your life in minutes. It kills by blocking your cells used of oxygen, suffocating2 the body and brain. There are FDA approved antidote3, but they are served via intravenous injection. Just imagine paramedics chucking up by IV for 10,000 convulsing and comatose4 commuters, as might have been necessary in 1995 cyanide attack in Tokyo had worked. Now researchers have been come up with one maybe a better antidote, called self-antigen TEA. It's injected into muscular, faster and easier than IV. The antidote works by supplying more of the chemical pricker5 so our bodies naturally use to de-toxic cyanide. After all, we already break down trace amount of cyanide from apple seeds, spinach6 and cigarets7 smoke. The shot just ends up that process. It's detailed8 in the journal of Medicinal Chemistry. Of cause, antidotes9 only work if you know you have been poisoned. Not the case for seven people murdered by the talon10 poisoner in 1982. But if terrorists did release cyanide gases in a subway or another public place, this new antidote might give us a shot and saving more life.
