和知识去抢救病人，就一定要延长他们的生命的。不这么做就等于要对自己的疏忽负责任，最起码在有些人的眼里，这也包括一些护士。我想着如果Mac停止了呼吸而我没有按动那个救援的按钮，那么当我被控告作为一个杀人者，站在法官面前时，这一切会变得怎么样。whennoamountofpainmedicationstilledhismoaningandagonywhenhispainwassoacutethatnomatterhowmuchpain-relievingmedicationwasused,hissufferingcouldnotbeeasedstillvt.&vi.e.g.Heclappedhishandstostilltheagitatedaudience.Whennightfell,thevillagewhichwasboisterous(喧闹的)withtouristsinthedaytimestilled.Iwonderedaboutaspiritualjudge.Iwonderediftherewasaspiritualjudge(asagainstalegaljudge),whowouldbesupportiveofmydecisionnottopushthecodebluebutton,thustoputanendtoallthis.“Wasallthismiseryandsufferingsupposedtobebuildingcharacterorinfusingusallwiththesenseofhumilitythatcomesformimpotence?”DoesGodinflictallthismiseryandsufferingonusinordertobuildourcharacterorletuslearnhumilitybyknowingthatwearesotinythatwecannotrivalwiththedestiny?buildingcharacterdevelopinghispersonalqualities(sothathecouldfaceuptotheadversitybetter)10.在抢救Mac52次后，当他头脑还足够清醒时，他再一次向我请求死亡，Maura也在我的怀里崩溃了，当无论再多的止痛药也无法停止他的呻吟和痛苦时，我在思考着一个精神审判。是不是所有的痛苦都应该被拿去塑造个性或者使我们充满由于我们的无能为力而带来的所谓谦逊感。self-righteousadj.havingacertainty,especiallyanunfoundedone,thatoneistotallycorrectorsuperiorHeiscriticalofthemonks,whomheconsidersnarrow-mindedandself-righteous.他对僧侣们颇有微词，认为他们思想偏狭，自视清高。meddleininterfereine.g.Youngpeopletodaydonotliketheirparentstomeddleintheirlives.meddlewithtouchorhandlesth.withoutpermissione.g.Youcanusemyroombutyou'renotsupposedtomeddlewithmystuffs,especiallymycomputer.11.我们相信着只要通过科学就能救人的错误观念，我们，整个医学界，是否已经变得太自大了？认为插手上帝的工作也是我们的责任，道德律令及法律义务，我们是否已经变得过于自以为是？我们真的相信我们有这个权利去强制一个十分痛苦的并恳求能有权利死去的人继续活下去吗？/////我们所有的医务人员是否变得如此高傲，真会相信科学手段能拯救生命这样的妄想？我们是否变得如此自以为是，把敢于上帝的工作当做是我们的天职、我们的道德责任、我们的法律义务？我们难道真的相信我们有权把“生命”强加给一个痛不欲生、恳求给他死的权利的病人？theblessedreliefofcomaComa referstoastateofdeepunconsciousnessthatlastsforaprolongedperiod,causedespeciallybysevereinjuryorillness.Wheninacoma,thepatientisnotconsciousofanypain.That'swhyHuttmannthinksitisablessedrelief.“Ithoughtheatlasthadtheblessedreliefofcoma.”Comaisarelieftohimwhichismuchbetterthantheclearfeelingofpain.Thenarratorthoughthehadcomabecausehewasstillforsolong.riddledmewithguiltfilledmewithastrongsenseofguiltTheverb riddle heremeans"fillorpermeatesb.orsth.esp.withsth.unpleasantorundesirable".AclutchofpanicbandedmychestIwassoseizedbypanicthatIfeltsimplysuffocatedclutchn.graspbandv.surround(anobject)withsth.intheformofastriporring,typicallyforreinforcementordecoration(usu.bebanded )e.g.Thedoorstothewarehouseareallbandedwithirontomakethemstronger.Aclutchofpanicbandedmychest,drewmyfingertothecodebutton,urgedmetodosomething,anything.”Thenursewasnotcold-bloodedasthepublicthought.TheoriginalpanicandtherespectoflifedrovehertodosomethingoranythingratherthantostandaroundtoseeMacdie.awaxenpallorslowlytransformedhisfacefrompersontoemptyshelltheunhealthilypalecolourofhisfaceindicatedthathewassinkingNothingI'veeverdoneinmy47yearshastakensomucheffortasittook not topressthatcodebutton.Paraphrasing:ItisthetoughestdecisionIhaveeverhadtomakeinthe47yearsofmylifethatIshallnotpressthebuttonthistimetosummonthecodeteam.1.WasitadifficultdecisionforHuttmanntomakenottopushthebuttonintime?(para.15)Obviouslyitwas,assherelatesinpara.15"NothingI'veeverdoneinmy47yearshastakensomucheffortasittook not topressthatcodebutton."thelegaltwilightzoneTwilightzone referstoasituationofconfusionoruncertainty,whichseemstoexistbetweentwodifferentstatesorcategories.ThusthelegaltwilightzoneHuttmannsayssheenteredherereferstothesituationinwhichheractionofpushingthebuttontocallcodebluecanbedeemedeitherlegalornotlegal.Cradlingherinmyarmswaslikecradlingmyself,Mac,andallthosepatientsandnurseswhohadbeeninthisplacebefore,whodothebesttheycaninadeath-denyingsociety.译文：怀里搂着她，就像是搂着我自己、迈克、还有每一个曾经在这里的病人和护士。这些人以最大的努力生存在一个否定死亡的社会中。adeath-denyingsocietyasocietywhereitsmembersarenotgiventherighttodieUntilthereislegislationmakingitacriminalacttocodeapatientwhohasrequestedtherighttodie…Untilitbecomeslawthatitisacriminalacttocallaresuscitationteamtosaveapatientwhohasvoluntarilyaskedfortherighttodie …WewillallexperiencethesameasMacdidunlessanewlawisadopted,stipulatingthatitshallconstituteacrimetotrytobringbacklifetoapatientwhoisperfectlyjustifiedtoclaimtherighttoendhislife.1.WheredoesHuttmannstateherthesis?(para.18)Inthelastparagraph:Untilthereislegislationmakingitacriminalacttocodeapatientwhohasrequestedtherighttodie,wewillallofusriskthesamefateasMac.Forwhateverreason,wedevelopedthemeanstoprolonglife,andnowweareforcedtouseit.Wedonothavetherighttodie.1.InthePhilDonahueShowHuttmannasaguestwasaccusedofmurderbymost,ifnotall,oftheaudiencewithregardtoMac'sdeath.PutyourselfinHuttmann'spositionandgiveatalktodefendyourself.2.ThirtyyearsafterthepublicationofHuttmann'sessay,euthanasiaisstillanunsettledissueintoday'sworld.Formtwogroups,oneforlegitimizingeuthanasiaandtheotheragainstit,andhaveadebateontheissue.BodyParagraphsPurposeofBodyParagraphs    The ideas,facts,details,andexamples enclosedinthebodyparagraphsaredesignedtosupportanddevelopthecentralpointstatedintheopening.Thebodyparagraphsinanes
