地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客793: 診斷治療癌癥（雙語(yǔ)）

Vivian: Do you see this lump? I’m sure I have cancer. 
薇薇安：你看著這個(gè)腫塊沒(méi)？我肯定得癌癥了。

Guy: Don’t jump to conclusions. It could be something completely benign. 
蓋：不要著急下結(jié)論，這個(gè)腫塊應(yīng)該是良性的。
Vivian: I know it’s not benign. It’s got to be a malignant tumor. The cancer is probably at stage two or three already. The oncologist will probably want to start me on radiation and chemotherapy right away. 
薇薇安：我知道不是良性的，會(huì)發(fā)展成惡性腫瘤。而且癌癥或許已經(jīng)發(fā)展到第二期或者第三期了。
Guy: You haven’t seen a single doctor yet and you’re already planning for the worst. 
蓋：您還沒(méi)看過(guò)醫(yī)生呢，就已經(jīng)做最壞打算了。
Vivian: Of course I am. I want to be mentally prepared for the bad news. The doctor will do a biopsy, but I already know what the results will be. I’m just hoping the prognosis will be good. 
薇薇安：是的。我想先在思想上做好接受壞消息的準(zhǔn)備。醫(yī)生會(huì)做個(gè)活體組織切片，但是我已經(jīng)知道結(jié)果會(huì)是什么樣了。我只希望預(yù)斷結(jié)果是好的。
Guy: I think you’re getting way ahead of yourself. It could be something completely harmless. 
蓋：我想你 你太早下結(jié)論了。這個(gè)腫塊不會(huì)對(duì)你造成什么傷害。
Vivian: I can’t afford to believe that. I have a family history of cancer. My father was diagnosed when he was 56 years old. It’s true he’s been in remission and hasn’t had a relapse yet, but you never know with cancer.
薇薇安：我沒(méi)辦法相信。我有家族患癌癥的歷史。我父親在56歲時(shí)，被診斷患有癌癥，雖然他現(xiàn)在情況已經(jīng)緩和，還沒(méi)有復(fù)發(fā)，但是你永遠(yuǎn)不知道癌癥什么時(shí)候會(huì)發(fā)作。
Guy: That’s right, you never know. You could live to the age of 90. 
蓋：是的，你永遠(yuǎn)不知道接下來(lái)會(huì)發(fā)生什么。你能活到90歲呢。
Vivian: You can fool yourself as much as you like, but I have to face facts – especially as sick as I am. 
薇薇安：你盡管自欺自人吧，但是我得面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)——特別是我現(xiàn)在生病的事實(shí)。
