听力挖空练习
One of my mentors always says the medicine part is easy. And it never feels that way to a junior doctor, but its contours are finite. We have big studies to guide us, and it's what we learn to do in residency.Much harder is learning how to help each patient navigate the multitudes contained in their illness. So I find it really funny that, _________________________, my life looks like a _____________________. It looks as if I planned each _________________________ and that perhaps cancer has led to the good things in my life. Step one: apply to medical school. Step two: get diagnosed with and treated for cancer. And step three: have it all, a career and a family. But I will tell you that _____________________________________________________________________________________. And so it's that courage that I try to give to each of my patients.

我的一位导师总说医学部分是简单的，但对于新手医生来说，从来都不是那回事，不过医学的难度是有限的。我们有大量的研究来引导我们，这也是我们在实习期间所学会的。更困难的是学习如何帮助每位病人在多重病痛中找到方向。
contour [ˈkɑːntʊr] n.外形;轮廓;(地图上表示相同海拔各点的)等高线 finite [ˈfaɪnaɪt] adj.有限的;有限制的;限定的 residency [ˈrezɪdənsi] n. 住处；住院医生实习期 navigate [ˈnævɪɡeɪt] v. 导航，引路；航行于，横渡；穿过，穿越；驾驶，操纵；浏览； multitude [ˈmʌltɪtuːd] n. 众多，大量；民众，群众，大批百姓；一大群人 contain [kənˈteɪn] v. 包含，容纳；遏制，防止……蔓延；抑制（感情） contained in 字面意思是包含在..里的，这里意译为在病痛中
So I find it really funny that, in retrospect, my life looks like a neat package. It looks as if I planned each successive step and that perhaps cancer has led to the good things in my life.
回想起来，我觉得有意思的是，我的人生看起来就像是个既定的规划，看起来好像每走一步都是我规划的，也有可能是癌症冥冥之中对我生活的牵引。
Step one: apply to medical school. Step two: get diagnosed with and treated for cancer. And step three: have it all, a career and a family.
第一步：申请医学院；第二步：确诊癌症并接受治疗；第三步：拥有了事业和家庭。
successive [səkˈsesɪv] adj. 连续的，依次的；接替的，继承的
But I will tell you that each phase was a leap of faith despite an almost paralyzing uncertainty. And so it's that courage that I try to give to each of my patients.
但我想告诉你的是，即使在极端不确定性下，人生的每个阶段信念都会变得更强大（字面意思是会飞跃）。而我想把这样的勇气给予我的每一位病人。
paralyze v. 使……瘫痪，使……麻痹
