unit 6 The Last Leaf When Johnsy fell seriously ill, she seemed to lose the will to hang on to life. The doctor held out little hope for her. Her friends seemed helpless. Was there nothing to be done? 约翰西病情严重，她似乎失去了活下去的意志。医生对她不抱什么希望。朋友们看来也爱莫能助。难道真的就无可奈何了吗？ 1 At the top of a three-story brick building, Sue and Johnsy had their studio. Johnsy was familiar for Joanna. One was from Maine; the other from California. They had met at a cafe on Eighth Street and found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so much in tune that the joint studio resulted. 在一幢三层砖楼的顶层，苏和约翰西辟了个画室。“约翰西”是乔安娜的昵称。她们一位来自缅因州，一位来自加利福尼亚。两人相遇在第八大街的一个咖啡馆，发现各自在艺术品味、菊苣色拉，以及灯笼袖等方面趣味相投，于是就有了这个两人画室。 2 That was in May. In November a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia, stalked about the district, touching one here and there with his icy fingers. Johnsy was among his victims.

And that chance is for her to want to live. Your little lady has made up her mind that shes not going to get well. Has she anything on her mind? “她只有一成希望，”他说。“那还得看她自己是不是想活下去。你这位女朋友已经下决心不想好了。她有什么心事吗？” 5 She -- she wanted to paint the Bay of Naples some day, said Sue. “她――她想有一天能去画那不勒斯湾，”苏说。 6 Paint? -- bosh! Has she anything on her mind worth thinking about twice -- a man, for instance? “画画？――得了。她有没有别的事值得她留恋的――比如说，一个男人？” 7 A man? said Sue. Is a man worth -- but, no, doctor; there is nothing of the kind. “男人？”苏说。“难道一个男人就值得――可是，她没有啊，大夫，没有这码子事。” 8 Well, said the doctor. I will do all that science can accomplish. But whenever m
