When the medical director became aware of Mary's heroic act he immediately reviewed her file and called her into his office.
當(dāng)院長聽聞了Mary的英勇行為后,他立刻翻看了她的病歷檔案,把她叫進(jìn)了自己的辦公室.
"Mary, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged because since you were able to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you've regained your senses. The bad news is Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom,he's dead."
“Mary,我有一個(gè)好消息和一個(gè)壞消息要告訴你。好消息是你能跳入水中救其他病人,這說明你的意識(shí)已經(jīng)恢復(fù)了,你可以出院了。壞消息就是,Jim,你救的那個(gè)病人,他還是用自己的浴袍帶子在浴室上吊自殺了。”
Mary replied, "He didn't hang himself, I hung him up to dry."
Mary說:“他沒有自殺,是我把他吊起來好讓他晾干。”
