A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
疾病
Disease
When you're used to being in the public eye, if you've got a disease, you've got to own up to it. It's about being about it, not running from it.
当你习惯了出现在公众视野中时,如果你得了一种疾病,你必须承认。而是要活在当下,而不是逃避。
So I can't show you how, exactly, health care is a basic human right. But what I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable.
所以我不能确切地告诉你,医疗保健是一项基本人权。但我能说的是,没有人应该死于一种可以治疗的疾病。
Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level, yet today's surgical tools are too large to deal with that kind of problem.
疾病和不健康主要是由分子和细胞层面的损害造成的,然而今天的外科工具太大,无法处理这类问题。
I was brought up by very witty people who were dealing with quite difficult things: disease and death... I was brought up by people who tended to giggle at funerals.
我是由非常聪明的人带大的,他们都在处理一些非常困难的事情:疾病和死亡……我是由那些喜欢在葬礼上傻笑的人带大的。
I grew up in Manchester, and we were very poor. My father was a miner who joined the Navy during the war and developed a lung disease and had to have a lung removed.

Adult stem cells are also problematic, as they are difficult to identify, purify and grow, and simply may not exist for certain diseased tissues that need to be replaced.
成体干细胞也有问题,因为它们很难识别、纯化和生长,而且可能根本不存在某些需要替换的病变组织。
A surgeon will cut off a limb in order to protect the body from disease. And a commander-in-chief should pull out of a war that cannot be won in order to protect a nation.
外科医生为了保护身体不受疾病的侵害而将截肢。为了保护一个国家,三军统帅应该退出一场无法打赢的战争。
Was this an old disease, and, if so, which one? If it was new, what did that say about the state of medical knowledge? And in any case, how could physicians make sense of it?
这是一种古老的疾病吗?如果是,是哪一种?如果它是新的,这说明了医学知识的状况如何?在任何情况下,医生如何理解它?
I had to accept that I was an alcoholic, that was the main thing. I think you've got to. But I try not say that I'm an alcoholic. I prefer to say that it's a disease I've got.

You must have to want it so badly, if there is any way you can live without it, get out of it. Being an unsuccessful actor is like having a skin disease. Make sure your passion is not misplaced.
你一定非常想要它,如果没有它你还能活下去,那就离开它。做一个不成功的演员就像得了皮肤病。确保你的激情没有放错地方。
Black patients were treated much later in their disease process. They were often not given the same kind of pain management that white patients would have gotten and they died more often of diseases.

Civilization is so hard on the body that some have called it a disease, despite the arts that keep puny bodies alive to a greater average age, and our greater protection from contagious and germ diseases.
