　　自己選擇死亡方式

　　Lesson Four 　Die as You Choose

　　制定關(guān)于安樂(lè)死的法律已經(jīng)到了不能再回避的地步。

　　The need for laws on euthanasia cannot be dodged for much longer.

　　在世界上某個(gè)較小的國(guó)家里，安樂(lè)死被醫(yī)療機(jī)構(gòu)普遍接受，每年都有數(shù)千例公開(kāi)實(shí)施。

　　In one of the world's smaller countries， mercy-killing is accepted by the medical establishment and openly practiced a few thousand times each year.

　　而在某個(gè)世界大國(guó)，安樂(lè)死雖然經(jīng)常受到醫(yī)療機(jī)構(gòu)的公開(kāi)譴責(zé)，每年卻以數(shù)倍于此的次數(shù)秘密實(shí)施，且從未公之于眾。

　　In one of the world's biggest countries， euthanasia is condemned by the medical establishment， secretly practiced many times more often， and almost never comes to light.

　　但是，在上述那個(gè)國(guó)家有醫(yī)生因?yàn)閷?shí)施安樂(lè)死而在監(jiān)獄里服刑呢？

　　Which of these countries has a mercy-killing doctor now languishing in its jails？

　　是在小國(guó)荷蘭。荷蘭制定了有關(guān)安樂(lè)死的法律，能有效地管理它。

　　It is the small one， Holland， which has rules for euthanasia and so can police it effectively.

　　那位荷蘭的醫(yī)生違反了他國(guó)家的規(guī)定。

　　The Dutch doctor broke his country's rules.

　　有關(guān)安樂(lè)死的問(wèn)題在所有國(guó)家都存在，決不僅出現(xiàn)在美國(guó)這個(gè)禁止安樂(lè)死的大國(guó)。

　　There is a moral here for all the countries， and not just for the big death-forbidding country， America.

　　目前美國(guó)正再次展開(kāi)有關(guān)安樂(lè)死的辯論。

　　Right now it is going over the arguments about euthanasia once again.

　　美國(guó)醫(yī)學(xué)協(xié)會(huì)會(huì)刊1月份發(fā)表了一封非同尋常的來(lái)信。一位醫(yī)生在信中宣稱(chēng)自己按照病人的意愿，殺死了一位身患癌癥的20歲女孩。

　　In January the Journal of the American Medical Association published a bizarre letter， in which an anonymous doctor claimed to have killed a 20-year-old cancer patient at her own request.

　　這件事引起了一場(chǎng)辯論，而這場(chǎng)辯論將轟轟烈烈地持續(xù)到秋季，那時(shí)加利福尼亞州可能會(huì)就一項(xiàng)使安樂(lè)死合法化的法律進(jìn)行投票表決。

　　This started a debate that will rumble on into the autumn， when Californians may vote on a proposed law legalizing euthanasia.

　　這封信可能是為了起到引發(fā)爭(zhēng)論的效果，內(nèi)容并不可信。

　　The letter was probably written for polemical impact. It is scarcely credible.

　　是作者自己在信中聲稱(chēng)他（或她）第一次與那位得了癌癥的病人見(jiàn)面，聽(tīng)到病人說(shuō)出5個(gè)字——“讓我去死吧
