美国前总统卡特癌症扩散至大脑
Former US president Jimmy Carter, 90, appears relaxed and smiling at a press conference in Atlanta yesterday to announce that cancer he revealed earlier this month had spread to his brain.
现年90岁的美国前总统吉米愠祓(Jimmy Carter)昨日在亚特兰大举行的一个新闻发布会上宣布，他本月早些时候透露的癌症病情已经扩散至大脑。他看起来自在放松，面带笑容。
Despite initial hopes that liver surgery had removed the cancer, tests revealed four cancerous spots on his brain for which he would immediately begin radiation treatment, he told reporters.
卡特告诉记者，尽管最初希望肝脏手术能够去除癌症，但检查结果显示他的大脑中有4个癌病灶，为此他将立即开始接受放射性治疗。
“I’ve had a wonderful life,” he said. “It’s in God’s hands. I’ll be prepared for anything that comes.” He added he was cutting back his work for the humanitarian Carter Center, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. But he was set to teach Sunday school at his local church this weekend as usual.
“我已经过了美好的一生，”他称，“现在一切在上帝掌握之中。我将为接下来的无论什么事情做好准备。”他补充称，将减少在人道主义组织——卡特中心(Carter Center)的工作，他曾因为这项工作而在2002年获得诺贝尔和平奖(Nobel Peace Prize)。但是，本周末他将像往常一样去当地教堂的主日学校授课。
