A woman was devastated after an indulgent Thai holiday fish spa turned into a living nightmare when an infected fish tank led to all five toes being amputated on her right foot.

一名女士在泰国度假时享受了一次鱼疗泡脚，导致右脚的5个脚趾头全部都被截肢了。度假变成了噩梦，都是因为泡脚的鱼缸被感染了。

devastated：崩溃的

amputated：截肢

Property manager Victoria Curthoys (29) from Perth, Australia, received an unwanted infection in her big toe after treading on glass, resulting in doctors amputating half of her toe to kill the infection.

她是来自澳大利亚珀斯的物业经理Victoria Curthoys，今年29岁，曾经因为踩在玻璃上，医生担心发生不必要的感染，而截掉了她右脚一半的大脚趾头。

infection：感染

treading：踩

Four years later, while on holiday in Thailand in 2010, Victoria used one of the ever-popular fish spas whereby small freshwater fish feed off and remove the foot's dead skin. The treatment gave Victoria another infection to the bone of her big toe with a water-born bug only found in Thailand, which had seeped through her prior surgery wounds.

4年之后的2010年，Victoria在泰国度假，体验了一种在泰国非常流行的鱼疗项目——小型的淡水鱼可以吃掉脚上的死皮。这一次的鱼疗，让Victoria的大脚趾再一次被感染了。一种只在泰国的水中出生的虫子，进入到她之前的手术伤口中。

treatment：治疗

seeped：渗入

Upon returning to Perth, Victoria was forced to see doctors after the infection left her with fevers and sickness. Despite her declining state of health, it took doctors over a year to diagnose the disease as Schwelmenella, an infection which eats away at the bone, eventually forcing doctors to amputate the entire big toe in December 2012.

返回珀斯后，Victoria因为感染而发烧生病，被迫去看医生。尽管她的健康状况正在下降，医生用了一年时间才确诊她得的病名为Schwelmenella，这种感染会侵蚀骨头，最终医生不得不在2012年12月截掉她的整个大脚趾。

fevers：发烧

diagnose：诊断

After the initial infection was removed through amputation, the pressure of walking on her smaller toes left Victoria with rough calluses and further infections, eventually leading to Victoria's other four toes being removed over the course of the next five years.

最初因为感染而截肢，走路的压力又转移到了其他的较小的脚趾上，致使Victoria的脚变粗糙长茧并进一步感染，最终导致其余4个脚趾头在5年内被截肢。

calluses：茧

Victoria said "I also warn people about the dangers of fish spas by discouraging them from using one if I can because we have no idea who those fish have bitten previously. By taking photos of my feet and posting them on Instagram I hope to build more confidence in myself and to have a positive impact on others who might not be happy with how their foot or leg looks after amputation."

Victoria表示：“如果可以的话，我会警告人们关于鱼疗足浴的危险，因为我们不知道之前这些鱼以前是否咬过其他人。我给自己的脚拍照，并发布到Instagram上，我希望给自己一些自信，也希望能够对同样遭遇截肢的人产生积极影响。”

confidence：自信
