Last February, I got a call from a woman called Sam Hammond. We had been speaking on and off for a while over her growing concern that her garden could be affected by pollution from a nearby chemical plant.(我们断断续续地聊了一段时间，她越来越担心自家花园可能受到附近化工厂的污染。)
去年二月，我接到一位名叫萨姆·哈蒙德的女士的电话。我们断断续续地聊了一段时间，她越来越担心自家花园可能受到附近化工厂的污染。
That morning, Sam had been hand-delivered a letter from her council informing her that her pet ducks’ eggs, reared in her garden, were contaminated with Pfas chemicals.(那天早上，议会亲手给萨姆送了一封信，通知她自家花园里养的宠物鸭下的蛋被Pfas化学物质污染了。)

“Are these chemicals in my blood?” she asked me at the time(当时). Seven months later, Sam has an answer to that question.
“这些化学物质在我的血液里吗？”她当时问我。七个月后，萨姆有了答案。
