Steve says that it was diagnosed when he was a toddler – which means when he was very young and just starting to walk, so he’s maybe 12 months, 18 months old, something like that.
Steve说他还是一个蹒跚学步的孩子。也就是说他当时很小，刚刚开始走路，所以他可能也就12个月大，或者18个月大，差不多那个时候吧。
Children that age love to chew on things, don’t they?
那么大的小孩都爱嚼东西，是吧？
Yes, they do, and in Steve’s case it was his own tongue that he chewed on!
嗯，是的，但是Steve嚼的东西竟然是他自己的舌头！
Ouch! His parents then took him to a paediatrician, which is a children’s doctor. Listen now to what this doctor did to test Steve.
哎哟！后来，Steve的父母带他去看了paediatrician，也就是儿科医生。我们一起来听听医生是怎样给Steve做检查的。
My parents took me to my paediatrician where he took a lighter, placed it underneath my foot, held it there for a moment until my skin began to blister and then he had a pretty good idea of what it was that my condition was.
我的父母带我去看了儿科医生。他拿着一个打火机，把它放在我的脚下，就那样举着等了一会。直到我的皮肤开始起泡，医生马上就对我的病情了解了。
So what did the doctor do?
所以Jennifer，医生是怎么做的呢？
He used a lighter to put fire under the toddler’s foot until it started to burn.
他把打火机放在了这个孩子的脚下，去烧他的皮肤。
And because the child didn’t react in any way he was able to figure out that he had this rare medical condition which is called Congenital Analgesia.
但是这个孩子一点反映都没有，由此医生判断他患了这种罕见的疾病——先天性无痛症。
Steve’s brother shares this condition, so what kinds of problems did it cause them when they were growing up?
Steve的弟弟也患有这种疾病，那么在他们成长的过程中出现了哪些问题呢？
We were always getting into trouble, we kind of pushed things to the extreme.We’d always end up with broken bones, we’d be visiting the hospitals frequently, wearing casts throughout most of our childhood. So it was quite difficult.
我们总是遇到麻烦，时不时就走了极端。比如我们总是骨折，经常去看医生，所以童年大部分时间里，我们身上都绑着石膏。那真的很不方便，很痛苦。
Jennifer, what was his childhood like?
Jennifer，Steve的童年过的怎样？
He says it was difficult. They made regular visits to hospitals and spent a lot of time wearing casts – a cast is the thick plaster protection that is put on to broken arms and legs.They got lots of broken bones because they didn’t feel pain.
他说童年过的很艰辛。他们得定期去看医生，而且大部分时间都绑着石膏。啊，石膏就是涂在胳膊和腿外面的那个厚厚的东西，是用来保护胳膊和腿的。正因为感觉不到疼痛，所以他们经常骨折。
So they didn’t know when to stop doing something which could be damaging their body. Have you ever had to wear a cast?
而且他们也不知道该何时停止做那些伤害身体的事情。Jennifer，你绑过石膏吗？
Luckily I’ve had no broken bones so no, I’ve never worn a cast.
没有，我很幸运没有骨折过，所以我从来没绑过石膏。
I’ve never had a cast either, but I did have a major operation this summer and there was a lot of pain after it.But because of the pain I wasn’t able to move around very much, but that was good, because it meant it gave my body time to heal.If I hadn’t had that pain, I would probably have caused even more damage.
