- 1去顫器；公共場所那台小機器，台灣多半直接叫 AED（自動體外心臟去顫器）
A defibrillator is a machine that sends a strong electric shock through the chest to stop the heart’s wild, shaking beat and let a proper beat return. Doctors and ambulance workers use a large one in hospital. In stations, schools, and shops you may see a smaller box called an AED — a voice tells you where to put the pads. The shock is not a movie “restart” for every stopped heart. It is for a heart that is still busy but in a dangerous mess (people call that fibrillation). If the heart has gone completely quiet, this machine often cannot help. The word is medical and public-safety English; ordinary families in Taiwan more often point at the box and say AED.
組成defibrillate（把心臟那種亂顫停下來）+ -or（做這件事的機器）。
