"救護車是考試壓力的徵兆"

在北京，救護車駐守在每個高考考場門外。

六月七號和八號，中國各地的學生聚在考場大廳參加高考。對這場考試的關注如今已遍及世界各地，中國年輕學子不眠不休念書的故事引來讚賞和譴責。 然而可以肯定的是，學生身上的壓力從未如此巨大。彷彿為了證明這一點，北京急救中心上週宣布，市內每個考場都將有救護車駐守。

北京衛生局宣布，這些與考場間有專用無線電連結的救護車，將派駐在北京各地105個考場。自2003年起市內就有這項服務，凸顯了一個事實，就是許多學生念書念到了危及健康的地步。

這並非唯一一項與救護車相關，為考試所採取的特殊措施。政府當局極欲確保學生在應考期間不受干擾，因此北京急救中心甚至還建議救護車司機在這幾天將警笛關掉。

(Education) Ambulances are a Sign of Exam Pressure

In Beijing, ambulances were stationed outside every college entrance exam center.

On June 7 and 8, students across China gathered in examination halls to take the national college entrance examination. Interest in the exam has now spread around the world and stories of Chinese youngsters studying around the clock attract both admiration and condemnation. What is not in any doubt, however, is the pressure on students has never been greater. As if to prove that point, the Beijing Emergency Medical Center announced last week that ambulances would be stationed at every examination center in the city.

The Beijing health bureau announced that ambulances with special radio links to the center will be present at each of the 105 test locations around Beijing. The service has been a feature in the city since 2003, underlining the fact that many students study to the point that they jeopardize their health.

This isnt the only ambulance-related special measure thats being taken for the exam. Authorities are so keen to ensure that students are not disturbed during test-taking hours, that the Beijing Emergency Medical Center has even advised ambulance drivers to turn off their sirens on these days.
