A head boy who was given three weeks to live after being diagnosed with deadly cancer just before his high school graduation has defied the odds to give a heart-wrenching speech to his classmates. 就在高中毕业前夕,一名优秀学子被确诊患上致命癌症,只有三周时间可活。他与命运抗争,在毕业典礼上向同学们发表了一段摄人心魄的演讲。 Jake Bailey, 18, made a surprise visit at the Christchurch Boy's High School assembly in New Zealand despite being told by doctors that 'he wouldn't be here tonight to deliver this speech'. 18岁的杰克·百利意外地出现在新西兰基督城男子高中的学生大会上,尽管医生曾说“今晚他本是不会来作此演讲的。” The teenager was diagnosed with Burkitts non-Hodgkin lymphoma after several weeks of feeling unwell - a rare and aggressive form of cancer that presents rapidly enlarging tumour masses. Without immediate intense chemotherapy treatment, the fast-growing cancer can be fatal. 少年百利体感不适,抱恙数周后确诊患有伯基特非霍奇金淋巴瘤,这一鲜见的癌症来势凶猛,症状表现为肿瘤飞速胀大。如不接受强化疗,癌症将急速扩散,会有生命之虞。 In an astonishing display of bravery, he attended the assembly in his wheelchair and challenged his classmates and teachers to take hold of their lives and be 'passionately dedicated' to the now. |
