介绍:
Forty years ago, The Beatles asked the world a simple question. They wanted to know where all the lonely people came from. My latest theory is that a great many of the lonely people come from hospitals. More precisely the surgical wings of hospitals. As surgeons we ignore our own needs so we can meet our patients needs. We ignore our friends and families so we can save other people’s friends and families. Which means that at the end of the day all we really have is ourselves. And nothing in this world can make you feel more alone than that
四十年前，披头士问了世界一个简单的问题。他们想知道哪些孤独的人来自哪里。我的最新理论是，很多孤独的人都来自医院，更确切的说来自外科病区。作为医生，我们忽略我们自己的需要，所以我们才能满足病人的需要。我们忽略了自己的朋友和家人，所以我们可以拯救其他人的朋友和家人。这意味着，在每一天结束时，我们只有我们自己，在这个世界上，没有比这个更让人感到孤独。
400 years ago another well known English guy had an opinion about being alone. John Donne. He thought we were never alone. Of course it was fancier when he said it. No man is an island entire into himself. Boil down that island talk and he just meant that all anyone needs is someone to step in. And let us know we’re not alone. And who’s to say that someone can’t have 4 legs. Someone to play with or run around with. Or just hang out.
400年前另一个著名的英国人约翰唐恩有一个关于孤独的观点。他认为我们从来都不会孤独，当然，他说这句话的时候听起来更美好。没有人是完全孤立的岛屿，归结到底，岛屿也能说话。他的意思是每个人都需要有人陪，让我们知道我们不是孤单一人。谁说一个人不能有四条腿，一个人玩或是跑，或是只是在一起。
