A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
疾病
Disease
When are we going to say cancer is cured? I'm not sure when that will happen, if that will happen because cancer is a very slippery disease and it involves a vast number of cells in the body and those cells are continually mutating.
我们什么时候才能说癌症治愈了?我不确定什么时候会发生,是否会发生,因为癌症是一种非常棘手的疾病,它涉及到体内大量的细胞,这些细胞在不断地变异。
Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.
一旦一种疾病进入身体,所有健康的部分都必须与之斗争:不仅是一个,而是所有的。因为一种疾病可能意味着他们共同的死亡。自然知道这一点;大自然用她所能找到的任何帮助来攻击这种疾病。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
I have Bright’s disease and he has mine, sobbed the panting palooka.
“我得了布赖特的病,他也得了我的病。”
With this disease it is so easy to throw in the towel, and that is the worst thing we can do.
