Medical English with Rebecca Green-Parkinson

Medical Terminology - The Circulatory System


“I think one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to make was choosing what major and university to apply for after graduating from high school. I had to make this decision about 3 years ago, at which time I was at a crossroads in my life, and had to decide something that I knew would affect my whole future life in a pretty short space of time. 

Since I can remember, I loved anything to do with computers, and knew I wanted to further my studies in something related to computers, especially programming. After a few weeks of research on the internet, I narrowed my choice down to two universities. I was at my wits end trying  to make a decision between these two universities, when my mother reminded me that two of my cousins had both graduated in computer science. After some really sound advice from my cousins I decided to apply to the university which specialised in coding.

I can happily say that I think I made a really good decision, thanks to the great advice from my cousins, and I'm really happy with my choice, as well as with what I have learned in the last 3 years. I’m also feeling very confident about my future, and because of making this decision, I now feel very confident that I will find a good job in the future.

第十章：变老
我的朋友带着他的小羊已经离去六年了。
Six years have already passed since my friend went away from me, with his sheep.
我之所以在这里尽力把他描写出来，就是为了不要忘记他。
If I try to describe him here, it is to make sure that I shall not forget him.
忘记一个朋友，这太叫人悲伤了。
To forget a friend is sad.
并不是所有的人都有过一个朋友。
Not every one has had a friend.
再说，我也可能变成那些大人那样，只对数字感兴趣。
And if I forget him, I may become like the grown-ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures...
也正是为了这个缘故，我买了一盒颜料和一些铅笔。
It is for that purpose, again, that I have bought a box of paints and some pencils.
像我这样年纪的人，
It is hard to take up drawing again at my age,
而且除了六岁时画过闭着肚皮的和开着肚皮的巨蟒外，别的什么也没有尝试过，现在，重新再来画画，真费劲啊！
when I have never made any pictures except those of the boa constrictor from the outside and the boa constrictor from the inside, since I was six.
当然，我一定要把这些画尽量地画得逼真，
I shall certainly try to make my portraits as true to life as possible.
但我自己也没有把握。
But I am not at all sure of success.

一张画得还可以，另一张就不像了。
One drawing goes along all right, and another has no resemblance to its subject.


还有身材大小，我画得有点不准确。在这个地方小王子画得太大了些，另一个地方又画得太小了些。
I make some errors, too, in the little prince's height: in one place he is too tall and in another too short.


对他衣服的颜色我也拿不准。
And I feel some doubts about the color of his costume.
于是我就摸索着这么试试那么改改，画了个大概。
So I fumble along as best I can, now good, now bad, and I hope generally fair-to-middling.
我很可能在某些重要的细节上画错了。
In certain more important details I shall make mistakes, also.
这就得请大家原谅我了。
But that is something that will not be my fault.
因为我的这个朋友，从来也不加说明解释。
My friend never explained anything to me.
他认为我同他一样。
He thought, perhaps, that I was like himself.
可是，很遗憾，我却不能透过盒子看见小羊。
But I, alas, do not know how to see sheep through the walls of boxes.
我大概有点和大人们差不多。
Perhaps I am a little like the grown-ups.
我一定是变老了。
I have had to grow old.
