【英语学习笔记】20181108 No Hearts or No

Helen and Dick are talking about the previous article.

H:I don't understand how people can think Dr. Kevorkian is doing the right thing.

D:Well, helping people die in dignity is not that bad, is it?

H:Don't you know? Where there is life, there is hope.

D:Come on. Be realistic. Those people who want to die are suffering. It's better that they go quickly and painlessly.

H:All you men have no hearts.

D:And all you women have no brains.

海伦和迪克正在讨论前面那篇文章。

海伦：我真搞不懂人们怎么会认为凯渥肯医生所做的事情是正当的。

迪克：呃，帮助人死得有尊严不是件坏事，是不是？

海伦：你难道不知道吗？留着青山在，不怕没柴烧。

迪克：算了吧。想法要实际点。那些寻死的人饱受折磨。还是让他们不要受到痛苦快快地死去比较好。

海伦：你们这些男人都是铁石心肠。

迪克：而你们这些女人都没脑筋。
