Hemingway once wrote that courage is grace under pressure. But I would rather think with the 18-century Italian dramatist,Vittorio Alfieri,that“often the test of courage is not to die but to live".
海明威曾经写道，勇气是压力之下的优雅。但我更赞成18世纪意大利戏剧家维托里奥·帕托瓦（Vittorio Alfieri）的话，经常挑战自己不是要去死亡，而是为了更好的生活。
For living with cancer engenders more than pressure;it begets terror. To live with it,to face up to it—that's courage.
得了癌症会造成巨大的压力，引起恐惧。面对癌症，和癌症共生，这就是勇气。
