Doctors in India have replaced a 12-year-old boy's damaged nose with a new one which was grown on his forehead.
日前，印度医生利用在一名12岁男孩前额上“种”出的新鼻子，替换掉了该男孩原本受损的鼻子。
A similar operation was carried out in China in 2013 where a man who had damaged his nose in a traffic accident was given a new one.
2013年，中国也曾进行过相似的手术，为一位在车祸中鼻子受损的男子换了个新鼻子。
Arun Patel's nose was badly damaged and disfigured when he suffered from pneumonia as a baby. The infection damaged the cartilage of his nose, making it difficult for doctors to fix it.
阿伦·柏特尔在婴儿时期换上肺炎，导致他的鼻子严重受损和变形。这次感染破坏了他鼻子的软骨，使得医生很难修复他的鼻子。
Arun's parents took him to a doctor in their village in the central state of Madhya Pradesh. But the treatment made his condition worse and he lost his nose due to extensive tissue damage.
之后，阿伦的父母带他前往中部城邦曼杜的村里，去看一位医生。但那次的治疗加剧了阿伦的病情，他在大面积的组织损伤中失去了鼻子。
More than a decade later, a team of doctors in Indore city decided to conduct a rare four-phased plastic surgery to give Arun a new nose.
十多年后，印多尔城的一队医生决定实施一项总共分为四个阶段的罕见手术，给阿伦一个新的鼻子。
Dr Ashwini Dash, who led the surgical team, told BBC that he was "confident that the new nose would work properly like his other organs". He added that the entire operation took about a year to finish.
这一医疗团队的负责人阿施维尼·达什教授接受BBC采访时采访时表示，他确信这个新的鼻子会像阿伦其他的器官那样正常工作。此外他补充说道，整个手术花了大约一年的时间来完成。
In the first phase, a silicon "tissue expander" was put on his forehead to make space to grow a new nose. Then a special chemical was injected to make the tissues expand.
在第一阶段，在阿伦的前额放入一个硅胶“组织扩张器”，使这里有空间长出新鼻子。之后便注入一种特别的化学物质使组织扩张。
The second phase involved taking cartilage from his chest to create a new nose, which grew on his forehead over three months.
在第二阶段，从阿伦的胸腔取出一块软骨来制造新的鼻子，这块软骨在他的前额生长超过三个月。
The doctors removed the artificial nose in the third phase and implanted it on his face. The final phase involved repairing his forehead.
医生在第三阶段取出这个人工鼻子，并移植到他的脸上。最后一个阶段就是关于修复阿伦的前额。
