休閑對話：與父母對簿公堂

Jessica: Do you think I should take the red one or the yellow one? Mat? Are you with me?

你覺得我是該拿紅色的還是黃色的那件?邁特?你在聽嗎?

Matthew: Sorry, what were saying?

啊? 你剛剛說什么?

Jessica: Where did you go? You were not even listening.

你剛剛想什么了?你根本就沒有在聽吧。

Matthew: Sorry. I was still thinking about the movie My sister’s keeper.

對不起，我還在想那部電影《我姐姐的守護者》。

Jessica: Oh, that movie is a hit.

那部電影很熱啊。

Matthew: Anna sued her parents for the rights of her own body.

安娜控告她的父母，想得到自己身體的支配權(quán)。

Jessica: Medical emancipation. Unbelievable, right?

醫(yī)學(xué)解放。真是不可思議。

Matthew: As I see it, I think she is doing the right thing. She has been giving since she was born. And now her mom is forcing her to give Kate a kidney. What if the operation fails? Both of them will die.

以我看，我認為她這樣做是正確的。自從生下來，她就一直在給予。而現(xiàn)在她媽媽在逼她捐一個腎給凱特。如果手術(shù)失敗了怎么辦?她們倆都會死的。

Jessica: I feel sympathetic. If her sister was not suffering from cancer, there would be no Anna. In some way, her sister created her. She should be grateful.

我很同情她。如果她姐姐沒有得癌癥，根本就不會有安娜。某種意義上說，她姐姐創(chuàng)造了她。她應(yīng)該感激的。

Matthew: Anna was helping. Even the doctor said that her sister could not make it pass five years. Isn’t it a miracle itself? Life is complicated.

安娜一直有在幫忙啊。連醫(yī)生也說她姐姐不會活超過5歲的。這本身不就是奇跡嗎?生活真是復(fù)雜。
