(Quotation from sheriff Phil Plummer, the article writer in his first person statement)
（正文是治安官菲爾·普拉默爾的親口講述）
FENTANYL'S A SYNTHETIC SUBSTANCE. It's made in superlabs in China and Mexico.
芬太尼是中國和墨西哥多個超大實驗室制造的一種合成物質。
It's so much more addicting than heroin, and it's easier to produce.
其成癮性比海洛因強得多，制作起來也更容易。
The problem is that it's so powerful it's killing people.
問題是，其藥效大到足以致命。
You have dealers literally sitting at their kitchen table stuffing a gel capsule full of fentanyl and whatever they can put in it to stretch the product.
經銷商就坐在他們的實驗桌旁，用芬太尼和其它任何能夠提高藥效的成分把一顆顆凝膠膠囊塞得滿滿當當。
They call them testers.
這些都是他們所謂的“試用品”。
They'll put whatever product they want in the gelcap.
他們想往膠囊里放什么就放什么。
If they can get their hands on carfentanil, which is 100 times stronger than fentanyl, they'll use it as a tester.
要是他們弄得到藥效比芬太尼強100倍的卡芬太尼，他們也會拿它作試用品。
And they'll give you some free samples to see how you like them.
他們會送你一些樣品看你是否中意他們的產品。
Unfortunately it's so addicting that if you die, addicts want to go to that dealer to get that more potent compound.
不幸的是，這種膠囊成癮性過大，即便你死了，其他人也還是會找他們買藥效更強的毒品。
It's unbelievable.
簡直讓人難以置信。
They're chasing the next best high.
他們正在將毒品濫用推向另一個極致。
They're not worried about dying.
他們根本就不怕死。
It changes your brain chemistry where death doesn't faze you, death isn't a fear anymore.
因為毒品會影響成癮者的腦化學，使死亡變得不再是一種折磨，不再是一種恐懼。
