Charles R．Drew was a medical student at Columbia University in New York．Before he graduated，he wrote an article on blood bank，that is，the storing of blood．Up till then，a lot of people had died from loss of blood because there was no such thing as a blood bank．

When the United States entered the Second World War，it became necessary to set up blood banks．Dr．Drew served as the head of the Red Cross's first blood bank．

When the Red Cross started blood banks，only blood from the whites collected and stored，while that from the blacks was accepted but was stored in a different place from“white”blood．Although the best doctors insisted that there was no difference at all between the blood of blacks and whites，the Red Cross，with the support of the government，continued to separate black blood from white．

After the war Dr．Drew was driving from Washington with three other doctors to attend a medical conference in a southern state．In North Carolina their car went into a ditch and Dr．Drew was badly hurt．He had lost a lot of blood，by the time a passing car took him to the nearest hospital．But they were stopped at the gate of the hospital．“Take him to the hospital for blacks，”they were told．“We don't take in blacks here.”No matter what they said，they could not get into the hospital．They had to take him to the colored hospital，but on the way Dr．Drew died because he had lost too much blood．

参考译文

查尔斯·R．德鲁是纽约哥伦比亚大学医学院的一名学生。毕业前，他写了一篇关于血库，也就是血液储藏方面的论文。在此之前，由于没有血库之类的东西，许多人都死于失血过多。

随着美国加入第二次世界大战，建立血库就变得十分必要。德鲁医生成了红十字会第一座血库的负责人。

红十字会创立血库之初，只能采集并储存白人的血，黑人的血也能采集，但要储存到有别于白人血液的其他地方。尽管一些最好的医生坚持认为两者根本没有差别，但红十字会在政府的支持下依然将两者分开。

战争结束后的一天，德鲁医生和另外三名医生驱车从华盛顿赶往南方某州参加医学会议。开到北卡罗来纳州时，他们的车掉进了水沟，德鲁医生伤势严重。等一辆路过的汽车把他送到最近的医院时，他已失血很多。但他们被拦在了医院的大门外。“把他带到给黑人看病的医院，”他们被告知，“我们这里不接受黑人。”无论怎样解释，他们都无法进入。他们只能把他送往收治有色人种的医院，但德鲁医生因失血过多半路上就死去了。
