福克斯新闻 鸦片类处方药物成瘾者上升（在线收听）

New research from the U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism says about two million Americans qualified to be called prescription opioid addicts in 2013.

据美国国家酒精滥用与酗酒问题研究所研究表示，2013年约200万民众为鸦片类处方药物成瘾者。

And the Institute is reporting that back in the year 2000, about two-percent of adult Americans admitted to using opoid painkillers when they didn’t have a doctor’s prescription. That number jumped to four percent 13 years later.

据研究所2000年报告显示，约2%成年人承认在无处方条件下服用鸦片类止疼药。13年后，该数字已上升到4%。

Men are more likely to abuse painkillers than women and that abuse happens most often in the Midwest and Western parts of the U.S.

滥用止疼药男性多于女性，且多数发生在美国中西部和西部地区。
