If you see someone drowning（溺水）, speed is very important. Once you get him out of water, if he isn’t breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely damaged. Support his neck, tilt（使翘起）his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn’t work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Close his nose with your fingers. Open your mouth wide and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, and then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until professional（专业的）help arrives.

　　To bring a child back to life, keep your mouth around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible. If the blood starts turning blue gray color, and you can feel no pulse.（脉搏）, then pressing his chest is the last chance of saving his life.

　　With arms straight, rock（摇动）forward, pressing down on the lower half of the ribs（肋骨）. Don’t be too hard, or you may break a rib. Check the result of your effort by seeing if his color improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing, or you must continue until rescue arrives.
