下面是紐約長老會醫(yī)院一名醫(yī)生寫給一名患者親屬的私人信件,令人感動......我希望,我的譯文能夠幫助更多人理解,一個國家為什么需要公民教育,一名患者怎樣言談舉止才是最佳的行為方式,人與人之間怎樣以誠相待才是最為珍貴。相比之下,我們的醫(yī)患關(guān)系何如?我們的微博互動能否更多一些平和、信任、關(guān)愛和支持?

Dear Mr. (removed),
親愛的(刪除姓名)先生,
I am the Emergency Medicine physician who treated your wife Mrs (removed) last Sunday in the Emergency Department at (hospital). I learned only yesterday about her passing away and wanted to write to you to express my sadness. In my twenty years as a doctor in the Emergency Room, I have never written to a patient or a family member, as our encounters are typically hurried and do not always allow for more personal interaction.
我是(醫(yī)院名稱刪除)醫(yī)院急診科的一名急診醫(yī)生,上周日給你的妻子(刪除姓名)看病。昨天,我才知道她去世了。我想給你寫一封信表達(dá)我的悲傷。在急診室做了20年醫(yī)生,工作總是繁忙,沒空進(jìn)行私人互動,因此,我還從來沒有給一名患者或一名親屬寫過信。
However, in your case, I felt a special connection to your wife (removed), who was so engaging and cheerful in spite of her illness and trouble breathing. I was also touched by the fact that you seemed to be a very loving couple. You were highly supportive of her, asking the right questions with calm, care and concern. From my experience as a physician, I find that the love and support of a spouse or a family member is the most soothing gift, bringing peace and serenity to those critically ill.
但是,你的情況不一樣。你的妻子讓我難忘,雖然她因病呼吸困難,但是,她是那樣地積極配合及和顏悅色??吹侥銈兪侨绱艘粚ο嘤H相愛的伴侶,我也深受感動。你也曾經(jīng)全心全意地安慰她和支持她,冷靜地詢問正確的問題,而且,你也那么體諒人和關(guān)心人。從我作為一名醫(yī)生的經(jīng)驗來看,我知道配偶和家人的關(guān)愛與支持是撫痛療傷的最佳禮物,給那些重病患者帶來平安與真誠。
I am sorry for your loss and I hope you can find comfort in the memory of your wife’s great spirit and of your loving bond. My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.
我為你痛失愛妻而感到遺憾,我希望你能夠在追憶妻子的偉大精神和愛情的紐帶中找到心靈慰藉。我的衷心慰問將隨信帶至你和你的家人。
(removed), MD
