Supporting Harm Reduction: How Should We Help People with Addiction?

HSK 等级高亮 · Highlight by HSK Level
shè huì社会cháng cháng常常zhēng lùn争论,miàn duì面对chéng yǐn成瘾de的rén人,zuì hǎo最好de的bàn fǎ办法shì是shén me什么。

Society often debates what the best way is to deal with people who have addiction.

yī zhǒng一种kàn fǎ看法shì是bì xū必须wán quán完全tíng zhǐ停止shǐ yòng使用yào wù药物,lìng另yī zhǒng一种kàn fǎ看法shì是“jiǎn shǎo减少shāng hài伤害”:rú guǒ如果yí gè一个rén人xiàn zài现在hái还zuò bú dào做不到tíng zhǐ停止,wǒ men我们yě也yīng gāi应该xiān先bāng zhù帮助tā他huó xià qù活下去、gèng更ān quán安全yī xiē一些。

One view is that drug use must stop completely; another is “harm reduction”: if a person cannot stop right now, we should first help them stay alive and be safer.

jiǎn shǎo减少shāng hài伤害bù不děng yú等于zhī chí支持chéng yǐn成瘾,ér shì而是xiāng xìn相信měi gè rén每个人dōu都zhí de值得bèi被guān xīn关心。

Harm reduction does not mean supporting addiction; it means believing that everyone deserves care.

hěn很duō多rén人chéng yǐn成瘾,bù不zhǐ shì只是shēn tǐ身体wèn tí问题,yě也hé和tòng kǔ痛苦、gū dú孤独、yā lì压力、pín qióng贫穷yǒu guān有关。

Many people become addicted not only because of physical reasons, but also because of pain, loneliness, stress, and poverty.

gěi给tā men他们gān jìng干净zhēn jù针具、ān quán安全shǐ yòng使用chǎng suǒ场所,huò或bāng zhù帮助zhì liáo治疗de的yào wù药物,kě yǐ可以jiǎn shǎo减少sǐ wáng死亡hé和shēng bìng生病de的fēng xiǎn风险。

Providing clean needles, safe places to use drugs, or medicines that help with treatment can reduce the risk of death and illness.

yǒu rén有人shuō说zhè yàng这样huì会ràng让rén人gèng更róng yì容易xī dú吸毒,dàn但shì shí事实bú shì不是zhè yàng这样。

Some people say this will make drug use more likely, but that is not true.

ràng让rén人kāi shǐ开始xī dú吸毒de的,cháng cháng常常shì是jué wàng绝望hé和chuāng shāng创伤,bú shì不是yīn wèi因为yǒu有le了ān quán安全gōng jù工具。

What often leads people to start using drugs is despair and trauma, not the availability of safer tools.

zhǐ yǒu只有rén人hái还huó zhe活着,cái才yǒu有jī huì机会gǎi biàn改变。

Only when people are still alive do they have a chance to change.

jiǎn shǎo减少shāng hài伤害bú shì不是fàng dī放低biāo zhǔn标准,ér shì而是xiān先bǎo hù保护shēng mìng生命,gěi rén给人xī wàng希望,yě也bǎo liú保留zǒu xiàng走向kāng fù康复de的jī huì机会。

Harm reduction is not lowering standards; it is first protecting life, giving people hope, and keeping open the possibility of recovery.
