【我的总结与翻译】

总结：hypothermia, therapy

On September ninth, American football player Kevin (Everett) of the Buffalo Bills tried to bring down an opponent. There seemed to be nothing unusual about what he did. The 25-year-old (Everett) put his head down and, with his helmet, crashed into the other player to tackle him.

9月9日，美国水牛比尔队橄榄球运动员Kevin Everett（在一场比赛中）设法从对方抢球，他的所作所为看上去跟平时没有什么不同。今年25岁的 Everett 压低他戴着头盔的头，冲向对方试图擒抱住他。

But it was Kevin (Everett) who immediately went down. He had severely injured his spine. He could not move. Even before an ambulance drove him to a hospital, doctors tried an experimental treatment to limit the damage. They wanted to prevent his spinal cord from swelling and destroying nerves.

但Kevin Everett却立即倒在了赛场上，他的脊柱严重受伤，不能动弹。 在救护车还没将他送至医院前，医生就为了减少损伤对他进行了实验治疗，他们希望能防止他的脊髓肿胀以伤到神经。

In the ambulance, the doctors injected cold saline, or salt water, into his blood system. This brought his body temperature down to about 33 degrees Celsius, about 4 degrees below normal. This kind ot treatment is sometimes called hypothermia therapy.

在救护车内，医生就向他的血管系统内注射冷盐水，这将他的体温降至约33℃（低下正常体温4℃左右）。这种治疗方法有时称为低温治疗法。

At the hospital, doctors performed an emergency operation to repair broken bones in his spine and put it back in the correct position. But they also continued the cooling treatment. Kevin (Everett) received cold saline through a tube into his body for about 24 hours. Spinal injuries like these are often life-threatening and almost always completely disabling.

在医院，医生对他进行了紧急手术治疗，来修复他已损坏的脊柱骨并将它们放回原来正确的位置，并且还继续对他进行冷却治疗。Kevin Everett24小时通过一只管子向他体内输入冷盐水。像这类的脊柱损伤通常会危及生命并且患者也会几乎完全残废。
