And if we couldn't land,
we would either use

fish hook that we would
lower down into the jungle,
我们把穿透器下放到丛林中
or if the wounded had a
severe back or head injury,

we would use a Stokes litter,

of litter that they used

War and Korean War.
救生篮几乎一样

Once the patient was
loaded onto that,
—旦伤者被搬入篮子里
we would hoist them up
我们开始把他们吊起来
and depending upon how
heavy the fire was,

we'd either stay at a hover
while we were hoisting them up,
我们在吊起伤员时要么保持空中盘旋
or we would go and
start to take off
要么干脆直接起飞

would be hoisting them up.
