Graceful Hands
graceful hands
I have never seen Mrs. Clark before, but I know from her medical chart图/图表，制will die.The only light in her room is coming from a piece of medical equipment医疗设备, which is flashing闪着its red lightas if in warning似乎在发出警告. As I stand there, the smell hits my nose, and I close my eyes as I remember the smell气味of decay 变坏，腐烂from past experience. In my mouth I have a sour, vinegar醋taste comingsilently静静的lights 照亮the scene场景（病房）, I return to the bed to observe观察the patient with an unemotional, medical eye.无动于衷的，医生的目光Mrs. Clark is dying临终的/奄奄一息的/渴望的.She lies motionless一动不动的:the head seems unusually large on a skeleton/skelitn/骨骼，骨瘦如柴的body; the skinshide松松地裹在嶙峋的、连毛毯也遮掩不住的骨骼上; the rightarm lies straight out at the side, taped录音;用带子捆起来cruelly残酷地;残暴地to a board板to secure保护a needle so that fluid液体，流体may drip in滴下; 滴出;the left arm is across the sunken 沉没的;凹陷的chest箱子;胸部, which rises and falls一起一伏with the uneven不均匀的breaths.I reach for the long, thin fingers that are lying on the chest. They are ice cold, and I quickly move tothe wrist and feel for the faint微弱的pulse脉搏. Mrs. Clark's eyes open somewhat as her head turns toward meslightly轻微地. I bend close to her and scarcely几乎不hear as she whispers低语，耳语, "Water." Taking a glass of water fromthe table, I put my finger over the end of the straw and allow a few drops of the cool moisture to slideinto her mouth and ease her thirst. She makes no attempt to swallow; there is just not enough strength."More," the dry voice says, and we repeat the procedure. This time she does manage to swallow someliquid and weakly says, "Thank, you."She is too weak for conver sat ion, so without asking, I go about providing for her needs. Picking herup in my arms like a child, I turn her on her side. Naked, except for a light hospital gown, she is so verysmall and light that she seems like a victim of some terrible famine. I remove the lid from a jar of skincream and put some on the palm of my hand. Carefully, to avoid injuring her, I rub cream into theyellow skin, which rolls freely over the bones, feeling perfectly the outline of each bone in the back.Placing a pillow between her legs, I notice that these too are ice cold, and not until I run my hand upover her knees do I feel any of the life-giving warmth of blood. When I am finished, I pull a chair up beside the bed to face her and, taking her free hand betweenmine, again notice the long, thin fingers. Graceful. I wonder briefly if she has any family, and then I seethat there are neither flowers, nor pictures ofrainbows and butterflies drawn by children, nor cards.There is no hint in the room anywhere that this is a person who is loved. As though she is a mindreader, Mrs. Clark answers my thoughts and quietly tells me, "I sent ... my family ... home ... tonight ...didn't want ... them ... to see ..." Having spent her last ounce of strength she cannot go on, but I haveunderstood what she has done. Not knowing what to say, I say nothing. Again she seems to sense mythoughts, "You …stay …"Time seems to stand still. In the total silence, I feel my own pulse quicken and hear my breathing asit begins to match hers, breath for uneven breath. Our eyes meet and somehow,beings ... Her long fingers curl easily aroundmy hand and I nod my head slowly, smiling. Without words, through yellowed eyes, I receive my thankyou and her eyes slowly close.Some unknown interval of time passes before her eyes open again, only this time there is no responsein them, just a blank stare. Without warning, her shallow breathing stops, and within a few moments,the faint pulse is also gone. One single tear flows from her left eye, across the cheek and down onto thepillow. I begin to cry quietly. There is a swell of emotion within me for this stranger who so quicklycame into and went from my life. Her suffering is done, yet so is the life. Slowly, still holding her hand, Ibecome aware that I do not mind this emotionalbattle, that in fact, it was a privilege she has allowedme, and I would do it again, gladly. Mrs. Clark spared her family an episode that perhaps they were notequipped to handle and instead shared it with me. She had not wanted to have her family see her die,yet she did not want to die alone. No one should die alone, and I am glad I was there for her.Two days later, I read about Mrs. Clark in the newspaper. She was the mother of seven,grandmother of eighteen, an active member of her church, a leader of volunteer associations in hercommunity, a concert piano player, and a piano teacher for over thirty years.Yes, they were long and graceful fingers.。
英语作文描写妈妈的外貌
英语作文描写妈妈的外貌My mother is a woman of average height with a slender yet graceful build. Her skin is fair and smooth, free of any blemishes or wrinkles that would betray her age. She has high cheekbones and a delicate jawline that lend an elegant and refined appearance to her face. Her eyes are a warm hazel color that sparkle with intelligence and kindness whenever she looks at me. They are framed by thick lashes and perfectly arched eyebrows that accentuate their expressive quality.My mother's nose is straight and proportionate to the rest of her features giving her face perfect symmetry. Her lips are full and naturally pink in color always curled into a gentle smile. When she speaks her voice is soft and melodious soothing to the ears. Her hair is a rich chestnut brown that falls in soft waves past her shoulders. It shines beautifully in the sunlight almost giving it a reddish tint.Despite her advancing years my mother has managed to maintain her youthful appearance. There are no visible signs of aging on her face or body. Her posture is always impeccable with shoulders backand head held high exuding an air of quiet confidence. The way she carries herself conveys a sense of grace and poise that I have always admired.My mother's hands are slender and delicate with long graceful fingers. They are the hands of an artist or a musician skilled at the most intricate of tasks. Watching her hands as she cooks or tends to the garden is mesmerizing the way they move with such fluidity and purpose. Her nails are always neatly trimmed and polished a soft pink color adding to the elegance of her hands.One of the most distinctive features of my mother's appearance is her sense of style. She has an innate ability to put together outfits that are both fashionable and flattering to her figure. Her clothing is always neat pressed and color-coordinated. Even when she is just doing housework she manages to look put together in a simple blouse and slacks.Accessories are another area where my mother excels. She has an extensive collection of scarves shawls and jewelry that she uses to add subtle pops of color and texture to her ensembles. A delicate gold chain with a pendant sits just above the neckline of her shirt drawing the eye upwards to her face. Dangling earrings sway gently as she moves her head complementing the angles of her jaw.Despite her meticulous attention to her appearance my mother is never ostentatious or over-the-top in her dress. She has a refined and elegant aesthetic that is reflected in her choices. Her makeup is always applied with a light touch enhancing her natural beauty rather than trying to mask it. A touch of blush highlighter and a nude lip gloss are all she needs to look polished and put together.When I think of my mother's appearance the word that comes to mind is timeless. She has a classic beauty that has not faded with the passage of time. In a world that is constantly changing and where trends come and go my mother's look remains constant. It is a testament to her innate sense of style and the care she takes in maintaining her appearance.At the same time my mother's beauty is not merely superficial. It is a reflection of the kindness compassion and inner strength that she possesses. Her exterior may be flawless but it is her warm smile her gentle demeanor and her unwavering support that truly make her beautiful in my eyes. She is a woman of substance whose outward appearance is merely a complement to her wonderful inner qualities.As I grow older and experience more of the world I realize how fortunate I am to have a mother like her. In a society that often places so much emphasis on physical appearance it is reassuring to have a role model who embodies true beauty. My mother teachesme that true beauty comes not from trends or materialism but from living a life of integrity kindness and self-acceptance.I know that one day my mother's youthful appearance will fade and the signs of aging will begin to show. But I also know that her beauty will endure long after the physical manifestations have disappeared. For her beauty is not skin deep it is a reflection of the beautiful person she is inside. And that is a timeless quality that will never diminish no matter how many years may pass.。

unit5 Graceful Hands 优雅的双手我从未见过克拉克夫人，但看过她的医疗记录和上一位值班医生交给我的报告后，我知道她今晚会去世。
她屋里唯一的光线来自一台医疗设备，它闪着红光，似乎在发出警告。
我站在那里，一股怪味刺激着我的鼻子，我想起了过去闻到过的腐烂的气味，我闭上了眼睛。
我嘴里有一股从胃里返上来的酸味。
我伸手去开灯。
灯静静地照亮了整个病房，我走回病床边，用无动于衷的、医生的目光观察着病人。
克拉克夫人已奄奄一息了。
她一动不动地躺着：骨瘦如柴的身体使她的头显得特别大；皮肤呈暗黄色，松松地裹在嶙峋的、连毛毯也遮掩不住的骨骼上；她的右臂平伸在床边，被无情地用胶带固定在一块板上，以便能固定针头使液体滴入；左臂横放在深陷的胸部，胸口随着不均匀的呼吸一起一伏。
我伸手去触摸她放在胸口的细长手指。
冰凉冰凉的。
我忙将手移到她的手腕，去感觉那微弱的脉搏。
克拉克夫人将头稍稍转向我，微微地睁开眼。
我俯过身去，勉强听见她微弱的声音：“水。
”我从桌上拿起一杯水，用手指封着吸管的一端，滴了几滴凉凉的水到她的嘴里，以缓解她的干渴。
她没有用力去吞咽，因为力气不够。
“还要，”那干涩的声音说。
于是我们又重复了一次。
这次她终于咽了一些，并轻轻说了声：“谢谢，你。
”她虚弱得没法交谈，因此没等她要求，我就开始做她所需要的。
我像抱孩子似的把她抱起来，给她翻了个身。
除了一件浅色的病号服，她什么也没穿。
她又小又轻，像遭受了严重饥荒一样。
我打开护肤霜的瓶盖，揩了一些在手心。
为了不伤着她，我小心翼翼地把护肤霜擦在她发黄的皮肤上。
她的皮肤松松地在骨头上滑动，背上每块骨头的轮廓都能清楚地摸到。
当我把枕头放在她两腿之间时，发现它们也是冰凉的，直到把手移到她膝盖以上的部位，我才感受到血液供给生命的热度。
而后，我挪了把椅子面朝她坐在床边，握住她那只没被固定的手，此时我又一次注意到她细长的手指。
很优雅。
一时间，我突然想知道她是否有家庭，接着我发现病房里没有花，没有孩子们画的彩虹和蝴蝶，也没有卡片。

Lesson1 A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。

Graceful_hands 新视野英语3unit5
1.Warm-up：①What’s the most impressive hand in your mind and what kind of hands do you think are graceful hands?Grandpa’s callused hands, skillful hands of the craftsmen, cute hands of a baby are all impressive hands; And the piano’s hands are the most graceful, hand model’s hands; dancer’s hands; a helping hand when you are in trouble②What’s your view on death? If you were given the decision to assist in your family member’s death, what are the challenges you might face? What are you going to say as your last words if you are dying?Truly speaking, nobody wants to be faced with this situation, even though we all know that death is the law of nature. If I were put in the situation to assist in my family member’s death, the challenges I might fac e lie in two aspects. One is psychological. I can’t imagine how I can watch the person I love most leave me forever, while I can do nothing about it. I will suffer the most profound guilt of my helplessness. Another one is physical, for I might be afraid o f making contacts with him/her. This is just what occurs to my mind. Maybe, in reality, I’ll conquer these challenges.③What makes a good doctor?First, you should grasp all the basic clinic skills, such as inspection检查, palpation诊脉, percussion叩诊, auscultation听诊and so on. You have to practice again and again until you are proficient. Second, you should treat the patients as your family members, then you will be very kind to them and they will cooperate harmoniously with you. If we can do it seriously, there will be no medical treatment dispute. Third, you must be very careful and cautious. You can’t make any mistake because life is extremely precious to all of us. Forth，a medical eye: the cool, calculating, reason-based observation of facts. Last but not least, we have to continue learning the advanced technology and knowledge, because methods of treatment have developed quickly nowadays. In a word, if you want to be a prominent doctor, you have to make great efforts to improve yourself.④Do you think whether a doctor should treat patients with personal emotions or not?It is said that doctors can not treat well their own family members, for it needs objective observations, diagnosis and treatments. Emotional feelings will affect their judgments. But on the other hand, most doctors love their jobs. It is the kind of feeling expression. They love not only the flexibility of the working, but also the satisfaction coming from the patients. The meaning of their job is to help patients to solve their health problems and help to meet their future objectives and also a good living condition coming from the health body. So the patients can have a beatific life. And doctors can gain a sense of achievements.2.After reading：①What does the author mean by graceful hands as the topic? Find out the description of the patient’s hands as well as her grace in act.The grandmother well deserves the word “graceful”. What is graceful in her is not only her hands, but her fine and considerate character as well. At the time of her passing, she sent her families away in order that they would not suffer the grief-stricken moment by watching their beloved part with them forever. This act is enough to reveal the grandmother’s kindness and love for her family members in her life time. Therefore, the word “graceful” is in place to describe the grandmother’s heart and mind.②What does the physician find out and what does she learn?By staying with the patient in her last moment, the physician finds out that the patien t’s heart and mind are as truly graceful as her hands. The patient has sent her family away to spare them the grief and pain of seeing her pass away. In these special last moments between these two human beings the doctor learns what being graceful really is.3. Main idea of the textThe story deals with a doctor’s view of a terminally ill grandmother as a terrible-looking lady with graceful hands from the outset but a considerate lady with graceful heart and mind in the end.。
