Question

翻译一下（下面）

For many people the subject of hiccups (嗝) is a joke, but for Harry Mendes, a fifteen-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham, it was something quite different.
　　His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and continued day and night for two weeks. After the first week, Harry\'s parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure his attack.
　　Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him.
　　“When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but that didn\'t do any good. That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn\'t work either.”
　　After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldn\'t find anything wrong.
　　“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.”
　　Harry was very lucky. The world record holder is the American farmer Charles Osborne, who hiccupped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.

对许多人来说打嗝是一个笑话,但对于哈利门德斯,一名来自伯明翰的15岁学生,这是一件相当不同的事情。

他打嗝周日开始一个昼夜,持续两周。第一个星期后,哈利的父母带他去医院,但医生花了一个星期的时间没有治疗好他的问题。

哈利,现在他回到了学校,描述他发生了什么事。

“当我开始打嗝时,我喝了一杯水,但那并没有什么作用。那天晚上我每四秒打个嗝。我们千方百计想阻止他们。我屏住呼吸,喝冷饮。我的父亲甚至试图给我一次震动,那并没有什么效果。”

经过一个星期失眠的夜晚,他去了医院。医生作了x光透视胸部，然而他们却没能找到任何有问题的地方。

“他们给了我一些药,我打嗝变慢下来了,但另一个星期前,我的药物完全奏效了，我不打嗝了。”

哈利很幸运。世界纪录保持者是美国农民,查尔斯·奥斯本打嗝长达六十八年之久。他在1990年最停止了打嗝后,但没人知道为什么。
