英语新闻听写 为保护婴儿发起新项目

A sharp rise in heroin¹ addiction², coupled with the risks of newborns developing withdrawal³ symptoms after they are sent home, has led a group of Cincinnati hospitals to try what they say is the first program of its kind in the United States: testing all mothers, or their infants, for opiates regardless of background, not just those who seem high-risk.

海洛因成瘾率大幅上升，加之回家后婴儿可能遭受母亲戒毒所带来的痛苦，辛辛那提的一批医院开始在美国尝试一个全新的项目：不论背景，不论是否具有高风险性，对所有母亲或者她们的婴儿进行毒品测试。

The aim, they say, is to catch as early as possible any infants at risk of suffering from withdrawal because of their mothers' drug abuse. Known as Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome⁴, infants can experience extreme irritability⁵, poor feeding and diarrhea, all of which can show 48 to 96 hours after birth.

医院称这样做是为了尽早发现任何可能因为母亲出现戒毒症状而遭受痛苦的婴儿。新生儿脱瘾综合征会导致婴幼儿极度敏感、食欲不佳以及腹泻，所有这些症状都会在出生后48小时到96小时出现。
