   上周日,前阿根廷小姐死于整形手术并发症,这一消息令她的粉丝们震惊了。近年来在阿根廷做整形手术的人数直线上升,在过去五年内增长了60%。前阿根廷小姐的死或许对热衷于整形的人们会有所警示。


  请看外电的报道:
  Estimates say that 1 in 30 Argentines has gone under the knife, making surgeons here some of the most experienced on the globe, attracting large number of medical tourists.
  据估计每30个阿根廷人里就有一个人做过(整形)手术,这也使当地产生了世界上手术技巧最娴熟的一些整形医师,并因此吸引了大批医疗游客。
  在上面的报道中,medical tourist就是“医疗游客”,指那些到技术精湛的国家就医,顺便到当地旅游的人。Medical tourism和medical travel都属于medical tour(医疗旅游),但是和medical tourist不同,medical traveler(医疗旅者)是指那些因为危急疾病到国外求医的病人,一般没有闲情参观国外的名胜。相比之下,medical tourist所要治疗的都是不危及生命的身体缺憾,大部分时间都是在旅游。
  现在tourism(旅游业)是许多国家的重要经济支柱,针对游客的各种服务也日趋完善。游客在出国前可以让tourist agency(旅行社)帮忙安排行程,出国时如果是package tour(跟团旅游)的话,要听从tourist guide(导游)的安排。当然你也可以选择self-organized tour/DIY tour(自助游),但是要小心不要碰上tourist trap(敲游客竹杠的地方)。
