Why should I donate blood?

我为什么应该献血？

安全血液拯救生命和改善健康。下列人员需要输血：

women with complications of pregnancy, such as ectopic pregnancies and haemorrhage before, during or after childbirth;

有妊娠并发症，例如宫外孕以及分娩之前、期间或之后出血的妇女；

children with severe anaemia often resulting from malaria or malnutrition;

many complex medical and surgical procedures and cancer patients.

许多复杂的医疗和外科手术及癌症患者。

It is also needed for regular transfusions for people with conditions such as thalassaemia and sickle cell disease and is used to make products such as clotting factors for people with haemophilia.

地中海贫血和镰状细胞病等病症患者还需要定期输血，并且血液被用于制造各种制品，例如供血友病患者使用的凝血因子。

There is a constant need for regular blood supply because blood can be stored for only a limited time before use. Regular blood donations by a sufficient number of healthy people are needed to ensure that safe blood will be available whenever and wherever it is needed.

由于血液在使用之前只能储存有限时间，因此经常需要定期供应血液。需要充足数量的健康人经常献血，以确保随时随地需要时可获得安全血液。

Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person — the gift of life. A decision to donate your blood can save a life, or even several if your blood is separated into its components — red cells, platelets and plasma — which can be used individually for patients with specific conditions.

血液是任何人可向另一个人赠送的最宝贵礼物——生命的礼物。你献血的决定可拯救一人的生命，或者如果你的血液被分离成其各种成份：红细胞、血小板和血浆，甚至可拯救多人的生命，这些成份可单独用于罹患特定病症的患者。

最后给大家个福利！！！
