—Moral dilemma? What do you mean? 翻译： ——道德困境？什么意思？

—You know, it's when you have two choices and you have to choose one. But for moral reasons sometimes it could be really difficult to decide. 翻译： ——你知道，当你有两个选择，你必须选择一个。但出于道德原因，有时真的很难做出决定。

The girl had a choice, should she finish the exam or should she stop and help the student. 翻译： ——嗯，例如，它提到了一个正在北京参加医科大学入学考试的女孩。考试时，她旁边的学生晕倒了。这个女孩有一个选择，是完成考试，还是停下来帮助学生。

—Oh, wow. So she became a doctor even though she left her exam that day? 翻译： ——哦，哇。所以，即使她那天离开了考试，她还是成了一名医生？

'Life is precious. ... 翻译：“生命是宝贵的。⋯⋯

To a person nothing is more precious than their life, and if they entrust me with that life, how could I refuse that trust, saying I'm cold, hungry, or tired?' 翻译：对一个人来说，没有什么比他们的生命更珍贵了，如果他们把生命托付给我，我怎么能拒绝这种信任，说我冷、饿或累呢？”

These words of Dr Lin Qiaozhi give us a look into the heart of this amazing woman, and what carried her through a life of hard choices. 翻译：林巧稚博士的这些话让我们看到了这位了不起的女性的内心，以及是什么让她经历了艰难的选择。

As a five-year-old girl, Lin Qiaozhi was deeply affected by her mother's death. 翻译：作为一个五岁的女孩，林巧稚深受母亲去世的影响。

At age 18, instead of following the traditional path of marriage like the majority of girls, she chose to work and study. 翻译：18 岁时，她没有像大多数女孩那样选择传统的婚姻道路，而是选择了工作和学习。

'Why should girls learn so much? Finding a good husband should be their final goal!'her brother complained, thinking of the high tuition fees. 翻译：“为什么女孩要学这么多？找到一个好丈夫应该是她们的最终目标！”她的哥哥抱怨道，想到高昂的学费。

She responded, 'I'd rather stay single to study all my life!' 翻译：她回答说：“我宁愿单身一辈子也要学习！”

Later, she went on to study medicine as she had wished. 翻译：后来，她如愿以偿地去学习了医学。

In 1929, Lin graduated from Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) with the Wenhai Scholarship, the highest prize given to graduates. 翻译：1929 年，林巧稚从北京协和医学院毕业，获得文海奖学金，这是授予毕业生的最高奖项。

She greatly impressed her American colleagues, who invited her to stay. 翻译：她给美国同事留下了深刻的印象，他们邀请她留下来。

Dr Lin, however, rejected the offer. 翻译：然而，林博士拒绝了这一提议。

In 1941, Dr Lin became the first Chinese woman ever to be appointed director of the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital, 翻译：1941 年，林巧稚成为第一位被任命为北京协和医院妇产科主任的中国女性，

Thinking of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private clinic. 翻译：想到所有仍需要帮助的人，林医生开了一家私人诊所。

She charged very low fees to treat patients and often reduced costs for poor patients. 翻译：她收取非常低的费用来治疗病人，并经常降低贫困病人的费用。

At times she was even seen riding a donkey to faraway villages to provide medical care. 翻译：有时，人们甚至看到她骑着驴去遥远的村庄提供医疗服务。

The new People's Republic of China saw Dr Lin Qiaozhi playing a key role. 翻译：新中国成立后，林巧稚博士发挥了关键作用。

In 1954, she was elected to the first National People's Congress and, over the next several decades, she held many important positions. 翻译：1954 年，她当选为第一届全国人民代表大会代表，在接下来的几十年里，她担任了许多重要职务。

Her heart, however, was elsewhere. 翻译：然而，她的心却在别处。

She was more interested intending patients, publishing medical research on care for women and children, and training the next generation of doctors. 翻译：她更感兴趣的是治疗病人，发表关于妇女和儿童护理的医学研究，并培训新一代医生。

'The OB-GYN department cares for two lives,' she told new staff in her department. 翻译：“妇产科部门关心两条生命，”她在部门里对新员工说，

'As doctors, we should be responsible for the patients and treat them as our sisters.' 翻译：“作为医生，我们应该对病人负责，把他们当作我们的姐妹来对待。”

Though Lin Qiaozhi never married, she was known as the 'mother of ten thousand babies', having delivered over 50, 000 babies in her lifetime. 翻译：虽然林巧稚从未结婚，但她被誉为“万婴之母”，一生中接生了超过 5 万名婴儿。

Dr Lin did not retire until the day she died, 22 April 1983. 翻译：林医生直到 1983 年 4 月 22 日去世的那一天才退休。

Since she had no children of her own, she left her savings to a kindergarten and a fund for new doctors. 翻译：由于她自己没有孩子，她将自己的积蓄留给了幼儿园和新医生基金。

And even as she lay dying, her final thoughts were for others. 翻译：即使在她临终之际，她的最后想法仍然是为了他人。

'I'm ready to go,'she said. 翻译：“我已经准备好了，”她说，

'Don't try to rescue me any more. Don't waste the medicine any more.' 翻译：“不要再救我了。不要再浪费药物了。”

Listening and Talking 翻译：倾听和交谈

1 Listen to a radio show and answer these questions. 翻译：1 听一个广播节目，回答以下问题。

—Hello, and welcome to the rush hour show, the radio show for your way home. Our guest today is Kevin Miller, with the paying it forward foundation. Welcome Kevin. So what is paying it forward? 翻译：——大家好，欢迎收听高峰时段秀，这是一档陪伴您回家路上的广播节目。我们今天的嘉宾是“把爱传出去”基金会的凯文·米勒。欢迎你，凯文。那么，先来说说什么是“把爱传出去”呢？

—Hi, there. So paying it forward means that if you receive kindness from someone, you don't try to pay them back. Instead you go out and show kindness to someone else. 翻译： ——大家好。“把爱传出去”的意思是，如果你从别人那里得到了善意，你不要想着去回报那个人。相反，你要走出去，向其他的人展现善意。

—Oh, so it's like helping a stranger. Can you give us an example of how it works? 翻译： ——哦，所以这就像是去帮助一个陌生人。你能给我们举个例子说明它是怎么运作的吗？

—Well, I'm sure you've heard the famous country song 'chain of love'. The song starts with a man who helps a lady whose car has broken down. The lady wants to pay him but he won't accept payment. Instead telling the woman to just show kindness to another person. Later when the ladies stops at a cafe, she notices her waitress is pregnant and tired. When the lady finishes eating, she pays for her meal with a hundred dollar bill. Then the lady walks out leaving the change and a note for the waitress. Her note tells the waitress to continue the chain of kindness. The song has a surprise ending, the waitress goes home to her husband happy because of the kindness the lady showed her. Then we find out that he's the man who first started the chain of kindness. 翻译： ——嗯，我相信你肯定听过那首著名的乡村歌曲《爱的链条》。这首歌讲的是一个男人帮助了一位汽车抛锚的女士的故事。这位女士想付钱给他，但他不肯接受报酬。而是告诉这位女士只需向另一个人展现善意就好。后来，当这位女士在一家咖啡馆停下来时，她注意到女服务员怀孕了，而且看起来很疲惫。女士吃完饭，用一张一百美元的钞票付了账。然后她起身离开，留下了找零和一张给女服务员的纸条。纸条上告诉女服务员要将这份善意的链条延续下去。这首歌有一个出人意料的结尾，女服务员因为这位女士对她展现的善意，开心地回到家见到了她的丈夫。然后我们发现，她的丈夫就是最初开启这份善意链条的那个男人。

—What a great story! So does this happen in real life? 翻译： ——多棒的一个故事啊！那么这种事情在现实生活中也会发生吗？

—Yes, actually. One woman after paying for her coffee, then quietly paid for the coffee of the customer behind her. When that customer discovered his coffee had been paid for, he paid for the customer behind him, the chain of kindness continued for hours, nearly four hundred people paid for the coffee of the person behind them. 翻译： ——是的，实际上会发生的。一位女士在付完自己的咖啡钱后，悄悄地为她身后的顾客付了咖啡钱。当那位顾客发现自己的咖啡已经被人付过钱时，他又为自己身后的顾客付了钱，就这样，一条善意的链条持续了好几个小时，将近四百人都为他们身后的人付了咖啡钱。

—Wow, that's amazing. So what can our listeners do to help? 翻译： ——哇，太令人惊叹了。那么我们的听众能做些什么来助力呢？

—Well, join the chain of kindness today and join the millions of people who are paying it forward. We never know what light we may spark in others by our kindness. 翻译： ——嗯，今天就加入这条善意的链条吧，加入到数百万正在把爱传出去的人们当中。我们永远不知道自己的善意可能会在他人心中点燃怎样的光芒。
