环球慢速英语 脸部移植的争论(7)

Voice 1: But not everyone does! Marc Crank is thirty four years old. He was born with a serious condition. It causes raised skin growths, or tumours¹, to grow on his face and head. He has had many operations to remove the tumours. And the operations have damaged his face. Marc says his condition has left him with an ‘unusual face.’ But, he states that he would not like a face transplant². He says,

声音1：但是并不是新有人都愿意接受手术。马克·克兰克今年34岁。他一出生就患有严重的疾病。疾病使他的脸部和头部长了凸起的疙瘩或肿瘤。为了去掉肿瘤，他接受了很多次手术。而手术给他的脸造成了损害。马克说，疾病使他有一张“不同寻常的脸”。但是，他说他不想进行脸部移植。他说，

Voice 5: "To perform a face transplant just to make my appearance more acceptable³ to the world is not right. It should not matter that I look different from other people. Maybe it is time to stop judging a person by the way they look. It is what they are like as a person inside that really matters. If you want to help people with facial damage then get to know them. Accept them as they are. Welcome them into your home and into your community. This would be a far more effective treatment than any operation."

声音5：“只是为了让我的面貌更容易被世界接受而进行脸部移植手术，这是不对的。我看上去和其他人不同不应该是问题。也许现在是时候停止以貌取人了。真正重要的是人的内在。如果你想帮助脸部受损的人，那就要去了解他们。接受他们原本的样子。欢迎他们进入你的家和你的社区。这是比任何手术都有效得多的治疗方法。”
