《当呼吸化为空气》是一本关于医生保罗·卡拉尼什(Paul Kalanithi)的回忆录,他在成为神经外科医生的过程中被诊断出患有晚期肺癌。书中充满了深刻的思考和对生命的感悟,以下是一些经典句子:
1. "We have to believe in something, even if it's just each other."
(我们必须相信某些东西,即使只是彼此。)
2. "I learned that medicine is not just about treating diseases, but also about treating patients."
(我了解到医学不仅仅是治疗疾病,也是治疗病人。)
3. "The point of life is not to be happy, but to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate."
(生活的目的不是快乐,而是有用、有尊严、有同情心。)
4. "I was a doctor, but I was also a patient. And as a patient, I learned what it was like to be vulnerable, to be in pain, to be in the dark."
(我是一名医生,但我也是一名病人。作为病人,我学会了什么是脆弱,什么是痛苦,什么是黑暗。)
5. "I was learning to live in the shadow of death, to find meaning in the face of mortality."
(我正在学会在死亡的阴影中生活,在死亡面前寻找意义。)
这些句子反映了作者对生命、医学和人性的深刻理解。
