國外情侶被閃電擊中 因牽手而倖免於難

A teen couple in Claremont, California recently survived a lightning strike, thanks to their public display of affection.
美國加州一對來自克萊爾蒙特的情侶被閃電擊中後毫髮無損，這還多虧了他們牽手秀恩愛。

Couple Dylan and Lexie were holding hands and walking down a tree-lined street recently when a thunderstorm hit, and the two were hit by a lightning bolt.
近日，一對名叫狄倫和萊克茜的情侶正手牽手走在林蔭大街上，突然閃電來襲擊中二人。

'It felt like I was getting hit over the head with metal or something,' said Dylan.
狄倫說：“當時的感覺就好像頭部被金屬之類的東西擊中了一樣。”

'Next thing you know, we're on the ground and we gave each other the most terrified looks,' Lexie added. 'I kind of thought there was an earthquake.'
“另外一點、你懂的，我們兩個都站在地面上彼此露出恐怖的神情，”萊克茜補充道，“有一秒鐘我的想法是來地震了。”

A passerby then came over to help them up and said that they had been hit directly.
接着一個路人過來幫助他們，並告訴他們是被閃電直接擊中了。

Amazingly, the couple came away unscathed, though a little shaken.
令人驚訝的是，這對情侶雖然頗爲震驚、但卻毫髮無損。

The couple asked a friend's mom, who is a nurse, if they needed to go the hospital, and were told it was unnecessary.
他們有一位朋友的媽媽是護士，於是他們就請教她是否需要去醫院。朋友的媽媽告訴他們——沒有必要。

However, they did go see a doctor just to get an explanation for what happened.
不過他們還是去看了醫生，只是想聽一聽醫生對發生在他們身上事情的解釋。

Dr Stefan Reynoso says that their hand-holding helped 'diffuse the electrical current' which entered through Dylan's head and then exited through Lexie's foot.
斯蒂芬·雷諾索醫生說，二人彼此牽手幫助“疏散了進入狄倫頭部的電流，然後通過萊克茜的腳部疏導出去了。”

The chances of getting struct by lightning are about 1 in 700,000 in the United States.
在美國被閃電擊中的概率是70萬分之一。
