Her name was June(琼；六月). June would be the last month she ever knew.(六月成了她所知道的最后一个月。)
她叫琼。六月成了她所知道的最后一个月。
I remember the way her bed made her so small, swallowed her up(把她吞没) in the middle of the room, turned as it was to face the window(床被转过来对着窗户). With her liver failing, her skin was a ghostly apricot(幽灵般的杏黄色). June – I called her Nan – had been stalked(悄悄跟踪、纠缠) by the king of terrors, the emperor of all maladies(恐怖之王、万病之皇——癌症的经典文学称谓): cancer. That son of a bitch(那个狗娘养的东西).
我记得那张床让她显得那么瘦小，把她吞没在房间中央，床被转过来对着窗户。她的肝脏正在衰竭，皮肤呈现出幽灵般的杏黄色。琼——我叫她奶奶——一直被恐怖之王、万病之皇所纠缠：癌症。那个狗娘养的东西。
The cancer was in her pancreas(胰腺). Odds of survival? “Not good” – putting it lightly(往轻里说). The maths, putting it darkly(往重里说): it’s the 12th most common cancer worldwide, the sixth most common cause of cancer death. The World Health Organization says it is “one of the cancer types with the least favourable(有利的、良好的) prognosis(预后)”. It was not favourable for my grandmother.
癌症长在她的胰腺上。存活几率？“不太好”——这还是往轻里说。往重里说，数据是这样的：胰腺癌是全球第12大常见癌症，也是第6大常见癌症死因。世界卫生组织称它是“预后最差的癌症类型之一”。对我祖母来说，它确实不乐观。
