Readers who follow me should know that today is my 82nd blood donation.

关注我的读者，应该知道今天是我第82次捐血。

If your haemoglobin level is within the required range, you can donate blood.

如果血红蛋白水平在要求范围内，就可以捐血。

Before donating blood, the staff will inject anaesthetic into the donor's arm.

捐血前，工作人员会为捐血者的手臂注射麻醉剂。

Although the needle looks long and thick, it does not hurt when it is inserted because of the anaesthetic.

虽然针头看上去又长又粗，但是因为打了麻药，插入的时候并不疼。

Next, staff will draw six vials of blood for research to ensure that the donated blood is virus-free.

By the way, I would like to share with readers some scientific knowledge: every bag of blood can save three lives.

So can I say that 82 blood donations saved 246 lives?
