你准备好在表情包里下载心OR肺了吗

由医生协助的解剖心脏、肺emojis表情符号已获批准

Emojis for an anatomically correct heart and a pair of lungs are coming to keyboards this year — thanks in part to a Massachusetts doctor, a report said Tuesday.

周二的一份报告称，今年的虚拟键盘上会出现一个解剖正确的心脏和一对肺的表情符号，这在一定程度上要感谢马萨诸塞州的一位医生。

Dr. Shuhan can breathe a sigh of relief after learning that the Unicode Consortium — the group responsible for approving new emojis each year — approved the mini medical renderings for release in 2020.

舒汉博士得知Unicode联盟(每年负责批准新表情符号的组织)批准了2020年发布的迷你医疗效果图后，松了一口气。

“This was just really fun for me,” He, who practices emergency medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, told The Boston Globe. “It’s just really exciting.”

“这对我来说真的很有趣，”他在马萨诸塞州总医院做急诊医生，告诉波士顿环球报。“真是太刺激了。”

But the new symbols are more than just a victory to accuracy-obsessed doctors — they could potentially save lives.

但这些新的符号不仅仅是对追求精确的医生的胜利——它们可能挽救生命。

“The anatomical heart and lungs are really widely applicable, not only just in medicine but outside of it as well,” He told The Globe. “Emojis are just a way to communicate in a way that is less confusing for everyone.”

他对《环球报》说：“心脏和肺的解剖结构不仅在医学上，而且在医学之外，都有广泛的应用。”。“Emojis表情符号只是一种交流方式，不会让所有人感到困惑。”

For example, He said, the new emojis can help patients get across that they are having pain or complications with their actual hearts and lungs.

例如，他说，新的表情符号可以帮助患者了解他们的实际心脏和肺有疼痛或并发症。

He co-wrote the pitch to the Unicode Consortium with Melissa Thermidor of Britain’s NHS Blood and Transplant; Christian Kamkoff, a Columbia University MFA candidate; and Jennifer Lee, the co-founder of Emojination and a vice-chair on the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee, according to The Globe.

他与英国国家医疗服务系统血液与移植中心的梅丽莎·赛米多(Melissa Thermidor)共同为Unicode联盟撰写了这份提案;哥伦比亚大学艺术硕士研究生克里斯蒂安·坎科夫;据《环球报》报道，表情符号的联合创始人、Unicode表情符号小组委员会副主席珍妮弗·李(Jennifer Lee)也在其中。

“You may just think of emoji as a fun messaging tool — however, they could be used to start some serious conversations about our health, and we need to get people talking about these organs and the fact that more people need to donate them to save lives,” Thermidor told the paper.

“你可能会认为表情符号是一个有趣的信息工具——然而，它们可以用来开始一些关于我们健康的严肃对话，我们需要让人们谈论这些器官，以及更多的人需要捐献它们来拯救生命的事实。”赫米多尔对该报说。

When the additions were announced last week, they were given a hearty cheer by many, including the American Lung Association.

上周宣布这些新成员时，包括美国肺病协会在内的许多人都给予了他们热烈的欢呼。
