And I am sitting by my father's bedside in hospital, trying to work out whether I should let him drink the one-and-a-half-liter bottle of water that his doctors just came in and said, "You must make him drink today," -- my father's been nil by mouth for a week -- or whether, by giving him this bottle, I might actually kill him.
在医院，我坐在父亲的病床旁， 想知道 是否让他喝下 那瓶1.5公升的水 刚才他的医生来到病房说： “你今天必须让他喝下去，” -- 我父亲饮食难咽已经一个星期了， 让他喝下这么一大瓶水， 简直是要了他的命。
