【穿越研英】冲击翻译,不得不恋(第三十八期)

时间走到了11月末,离考研的日期越来越近了。上一期节目,朋友们普遍反映太难,可能是话题和里面的术语不好翻译吧,没关系,那只是些辅导班中的题目,真正上了考研的战场翻译的难度会有所降低,2007年的考卷就是证明。所以我们不用太在乎它,把自己该做得做好就行了

想必很多朋友已经进入了断网封闭冲刺阶段,
popo的这个节目少了一些熟悉的面孔,突然感觉有点落寞,可是转念一想,有你们这么久以来的陪伴,已经够心满意足的。节目行进到这里,也快接近它的尾声,有点舍不得,不过天下没有不散的宴席,现在的精彩说不定会在其他的节目中重生。

祝愿每位考研的朋友现在都有好心情,愿你们考试顺利!^_^

以下是2002年的考研英语阅读文章,popo想如果用真题文章来“恋”翻译,难度系数或者上下文背景都能满足,而且绝对有实战的感觉吧~别等了,快开做啦!

 1The Supreme Court's decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering.

  2Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of "double effect, "a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects — a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen — is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.

Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients' pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient.

3Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient mediation to control their pain if that might hasten death."

  George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. "It's like surgery," he says. "We don't call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn't intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death. If you're a physician, you can risk your patient's suicide as long as you don't intend their suicide."

  4On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.

  Just three weeks before the Court's ruling on physician-assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science (NAS) released a two-volume report, Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life. 5It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of "ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying" as the twin problems of end-of-life care.

  The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.

Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care. "Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering," to the extent that it constitutes "systematic patient abuse." He says medical licensing boards "must make it clear... that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension."
