我自小接受传统教育,知道一个人做了错事,应当受到相应的惩罚。这就是所谓公道。1921年,我作为一个年轻的医生,在诺桑白兰隔离医院当医官。一个冬天的晚上,在我到职不久之后,医院里接受了一位白喉病人。那是个6岁的孩子,喉间肿胀得十分厉害,若立刻割开气管还有一线生还的希望。我当时毫无经验,这种简单而重要的手术我还不曾试过。当我站在那间空阔而灯光明亮的手术室里,看着一位年长女佣和一位年轻的见习看护,把那奄奄一息的孩子放到手术台上的时候,我觉得身体打抖、冰凉,有如生病。 Since I was a child, I learned traditional education and learned that a person has done something wrong and should be punished accordingly. This is the so-called fair. In 1921, as a young doctor, I worked as a physician at Nosy Belan’s hospital. One winter evening, a diphtheria patient was admitted to the hospital shortly after my appointment. That is a 6-year-old child, the throat swelling is very powerful, if there is immediate hope to cut off the trachea. I was inexperienced at the time and I had not tried this simple but important surgery. When I stood in the empty, brightly-lit operating room, watching an elderly maid and a young probation nurse, putting the dying child on the operating table, I felt the body shake , Cold, like a sick.
