A:Marco,what do you wanna talk today?Marco,今天你想談點兒什么?
B:Drew,I was reading a book about euthanasia last night.And I am a bit confused.Drew,我昨晚看了一本兒關(guān)于安樂死的書。我有點兒困惑了。
A:What did the book say?書里寫了什么?
B:What is in the book is not important,I ws wondering what you think of it.寫了什么不重要。我想知道你是怎么想的。
A:Me?You know. I’ve never thought about it,This is like such a big question.我?你知道我可從來沒想過這個問題。這問題可夠大的。
B:No,no.Drew. I’m serious,Think about it. I know death is just part of life, I mean should a doctor leave patients lying there in beds,watching them suffer from throes,or give them some medicines to let them die?不Drew.我是認真的，想一下。我知道死亡是生存的一部分，我是說醫(yī)生是應(yīng)該把病人留在床上，看他們受苦，還是應(yīng)該給他們點兒藥，讓他們死呢?
A:I don’t know. I’m not a doctor.我不知道。我又不是醫(yī)生。
B:What would you do if you were a doctor?如果你是醫(yī)生的話你會怎么辦?
A:Well. I guess one of a doctor’s duties is to prevent suffering and sometimes killing is the only way to do it.我想醫(yī)生的職責之一就是不讓病人受苦，有些時候讓他們反而對病人來說是種解脫
B;killing?讓他們死?
A:I mean there should be 2 kinds of euthanasia ,passive and active.我是說應(yīng)該有主動和被動兩種安樂死。
B:What’s the distinction between them?這兩者有什么分別嗎?
A:Active is like killing,which sounds a little controversial.And passive is like letting die.If a patient has some kind of living-will,on which it says he does not want his life prolonged.Then the doctor could practice mercy-killing.主動安樂死有點兒象謀殺，存在很大的爭議。被動安樂死就是讓病人自己選擇死，如果病人生前立了遺囑，不想延續(xù)生命的話。那么醫(yī)生們就可以執(zhí)行安樂死。
B:You’ve got a point there.有道理
A:Marco,Can we just not talk about this?My girl friend is coming here in 2 hours. I don’t wanna give her a mercy-killing face.Marco,咱們能不能不談這個。我女朋友兩個鐘頭以后來。我可不想給她看安樂死的臉
B:Sorry,buddy. I’ll let you go.你去約會吧。Have a good date.抱歉。
A:Ok.Bye bye.再見
