时差N小时 病人隐私该不该对家属隐瞒?(下)

Dear Sister:

亲爱的贝拉福特:

It sounds as if Vera has been bossing you around for a long time and doesn't like being denied the opportunity to keep doing it.

听起来好像维拉很长时间以来一直在指挥你，并且一旦被剥夺这样的机会会不开心。

If you want Vera to consult your doctor, you can give him permission to discuss your status with her.

如果你希望维拉咨询一下医生，可以告诉医生跟家属谈论你的医疗状况。

If you think her concern is intrusive¹, say nothing more.

如果你觉得她的关心让你感到困扰，那就什么也别说。

We suspect Vera will eventually come around, although she wants to punish you a bit first.

尽管她想先惩罚你一下，但我们觉得维拉最终会谅解的。

1 intrusive   

adj.打搅的；侵扰的

参考例句：

• The cameras were not an intrusive presence.那些摄像机的存在并不令人反感。
• Staffs are courteous but never intrusive.员工谦恭有礼却从不让人感到唐突。
