During a weekday evening at 8 pm, the waiting area of the pain management department at Peking University Third Hospital is crowded with people in their 20s and 30s. As they wait for treatment, they exchange fitness tips, creating an atmosphere more like a health salon than a hospital clinic.

一个工作日的晚上8点，北京大学第三医院疼痛科的候诊区却格外热闹：座椅被二三十岁的年轻人占得满满当当，一些人在候诊的同时，还交流起了健身技巧，就像是一场小型的健康沙龙。

1.weekday /ˈwiːk.deɪ/ n.周工作日（专升本词汇）

“In recent years, we've seen a noticeable rise in young people seeking treatment for pain and sports-related injuries,” said Liang Chen, an attending physician in the department.

He noted that evening and weekend clinics attract more young patients than regular hours. “On weekdays, they typically make up about 20 percent of those we see. But during evening and weekend sessions, they account for more than half,” he said.

Liang’s observations reflect a growing trend：more young people are turning to sports rehabilitation services.

据该科室主治医师梁辰介绍，近年来，越来越多的年轻人开始寻求运动康复治疗。“工作日白天的门诊里，年轻人大概占20%；但一到晚上或周末，这个比例直接超过一半。”

5.rise /raɪz/ n.上升，升起。增加，增长（专升本词汇）

例句：August has seen a large rise in the number of unemployed.

8月份失业人数剧增。——《牛津词典》

Liang divides young patients seeking sports rehabilitation into two main groups.

The first group consists of office workers who suffer from chronic neck and back pain caused by lifestyle and work habits, such as prolonged sitting. They also often develop conditions like tendinitis and repetitive strain injuries — known in China as “mouse hand” — from excessive phone and computer use.

The second group includes overactive sports enthusiasts who may lack proper training knowledge. They often engage in workouts that are too intense or performed incorrectly.

据梁辰医生介绍，寻求运动康复的年轻患者大致分为两大类。

第一类是因生活方式和工作习惯（如久坐）而患有慢性颈背痛的上班族。他们还常因过度使用手机和电脑而患上腱鞘炎、“鼠标手”等。

第二类则是缺乏正确训练知识的健身爱好者，他们常进行强度过大或不正确的锻炼。

6.divide /dɪˈvaɪd/ v.（使）分开，分散（专升本词汇）

例句：At the end of the lecture, I'd like all the students to divide into small discussion groups.

8.hand /hænd/ n.手（专升本词汇）

例句：All their toys are made by hand.

Different seasons also bring different “mainstream” injuries：knee and ankle injuries from soccer in spring and summer; waist damage from cycling and frisbee in summer and autumn; and orthopedic and ligament issues from skiing in winter.

此外，年轻人们的运动损伤还自带“季节属性”。比如，春夏踢足球导致膝盖和脚踝受伤；夏秋的骑行、玩飞盘导致腰部损伤，冬季的滑雪导致骨科和韧带问题……
