Todd: So, Greg, you have a new book out, and you're book has lots of controversial topics,and one of the topics is organ donation. So first can you explain what organ donation is?
托德：格雷格，你出了本新书，这本书涉及了很多争议话题，其中一个就是器官捐赠。首先，请你解释一下什么是器官捐赠?
Greg: Sure. Organ donation is when a person living or dead allows his or her organs to beused in another person.
格雷格：好的。器官捐赠是指活人或死人将器官捐赠给另一个人的行为。
Todd: So for example like you donate a liver, or kidney or something like that.
托德：举例来说，就是捐赠肝、肾等器官的行为。
Greg: That's right.
格雷格：没错。
Todd: And usually they have to get it... the person who dies, they have to get it soon.
托德：实际上，他们要……人死了之后，他们要立即取出捐赠的器官。
Greg: Yes, that 100% right.
格雷格：对，完全正确。
Todd: So is this something that's common in most countries?
托德：这是大多数国家的通常做法吗?
Greg: Well, actually some countries do not allow organ and tissue donation, or they allow onlysome organs, some tissues and not allow others.
格雷格：实际上有些国家不允许器官捐赠和组织捐赠，或者只允许一些器官和组织的捐赠，其他的不允许。
Todd: You know, your book is about controversial topics. What is controversial about organdonation?
托德：你的书里涉及了很多争议话题。那器官捐赠有什么争议?
Greg: Oh, there's a lot of controversial aspects to organ donation. Again, as I mentionedthere are differences in every country. Some countries do not allow organ donation. Someallow some organs and won't others and there are also cases where say maybe a thousandpeople need a kidney but there's only fifty kidneys. Who is gonna get it? Should the kidney goto the sickest person but who might die? Should it go to the oldest person? Should it go to theyoungest person? Should it go to the richest person? How do you decide? What's a fair way todecide?
格雷格：器官捐赠有很多争议。就像我刚才提到的，每个国家对器官捐赠有不同的规定。一些国家不允许器官捐赠。还有些国家只允许特定器官的捐赠，不允许其他器官的捐赠，也许需要肾移植的人有1000人，可是只有50个肾脏可以移植。那谁能进行手术?这些肾脏是要移植给那些生病最严重、可能会死亡的人?还是要移植给最年长的人?还是给最年轻的人?或是给最富有的人?要怎么决定?怎么公平地做决定?
Todd: Now, also I think in your book you were talking about medical tourism. Can you explainwhat that is?
托德：我想你的书中还提到了医疗旅游。你能解释一下吗?
Greg: Medical tourism is when people go to a country for the purpose of medical treatmentwhich they can't get in their country either cause the treatment is not allowed or it's tooexpensive. You know, relating back to the question of controversy, there are lot of countries inthe world which are very poor, and people are willing to sell their organs actually, so you haverich Arabs, rich Americans, rich Japanese, rich British people, people from any rich country,can't get an organ in their own country, and they'll go to a poor country to buy organs frompoor people. Is that right? In some places it's illegal. There are also laws in many countriesthat say someone must, before they die, give permission for the body parts to be used, butthose body parts are sometimes taken from people after their death without permission.
格雷格：医疗旅游是人们以医疗为目的前往另一个国家的行为，因为他们在本国无法接受治疗，或是治疗方法在本国不被允许，或是医疗费用太高。我们再回到刚才的争议问题上，世界上有许多国家非常贫穷，这些国家的人想卖器官挣钱，而有钱的阿拉伯人、美国人、日本人、英国人，那些有钱国家的人在自己的国家无法得到捐赠的器官，他们就会去贫穷的国家，从穷人那里买器官。这种做法对吗?在有些地方这种做法是非法的。许多国家的法律明确规定，活人捐赠器官必须得到许可，而有时死人捐赠身体器官是未经许可的。
Todd: Yeah, that's pretty controversial stuff. That's pretty deep.
托德：对，这是备受争议的问题。是非常严肃的问题。
Greg: Yeah.
格雷格：对。
较长的英语情景对话2Greg: Hi, Todd.
格雷格：你好，托德。
Todd: Hey, Greg.
托德：嗨，格雷格。
Greg: Hey, thanks a lot for interviewing me and letting, I don't know, the world know about mybook.
格雷格：嘿，非常谢谢你采访我，让世界了解我的书。
Todd: No, problem. It's a good book.
托德：不客气。这是本好书。
Greg: Yeah, I've noticed you don't have any topics like these on your web site. Why not?
格雷格：嗯，我注意到，你的网站上没有这种话题。这是为什么?
Todd: Right. I don't have too many controversial topics. There's actually technical is it just takes too long for people to talk about a controversial topic, so for example ifyou really want to get into controversy, you know, it leads to long conversation and peopleexpressing their view and arguing and the way that the audio is set up on elllo, it's kind ofshort. I try to keep it under three minutes, so that's one reason. But actually the main reasonis because, you know, when people come in, I don't know them a lot of the times I don't knowthe speakers very well and so they're not really comfortable arguing with me or arguing withsomebody else they don't know about something that's controversial, so we tend to not dothat.
托德：对。我们网站上没有太多争议话题。这其实是技术原因。其中一个原因是，讨论争议话题需要很长时间，如果要讨论争议问题，那就会进行很长时间的对话，人们要表达他们的观点和主张，可是ello网站上的音频都很短。我尽量将每期节目的时长控制在3分钟以内，这是其中一个原因。不过主要原因是，大多数时候我不认识录制节目的嘉宾，我不太了解他们，所以如果他们和我或是其他他们不认识的嘉宾就争议话题进行辩论的话，他们可能会感觉不舒服，所以我们尽量不这么做。
Greg: OK, alright, it's something you might want to think about. I mean, I think there are lotof people in the world who are really interested in controversial topics.
格雷格：好，这可能是你要思考的事情。我的意思是，世界上有很多人对争议话题感兴趣。
Todd: Well, I think there are some, like with you we talked about some like income disparityand medical issues, and I'm comfortable talking about that but I am not comfortable talkingabout let's say homosexuality, religious beliefs, abortion, politics. Things like that I just don'tfeel comfortable doing.
托德：我和你谈论了收入差距和医疗问题，我觉得谈论这种话题还是很自在的，可是我不想谈论同性恋问题、宗教信仰、堕胎、政治问题。谈话这些话题我会感觉不自在。
Greg: OK, it's your site: your right to do whatever you want, but I just think maybe ... maybesome of your listeners would appreciate that and maybe you could have ... my suggestion isthat you have a little one page, controversial page, or something. Just, you know, try it out,and if you get a lot of good reaction, you might want to continue and if it doesn't work outstop it.
格雷格：好，这是你的网站，你有权利做你想做的事，不过我认为也许……也许一些听众会希望你……我的建议是，增设一个争议问题网页。你可以试试，如果良好的反应很多的话，你可以继续做下去，如果反应不好，那就可以关掉这个网页。
Todd: Well, actually, I'll give you an example of one I did recently. I had a woman come in,Stella, she did a great job on the videos, and one of her videos was about an usual sport in yourcountry and hers was on cock fighting, and she explained cock fighting, or hen fighting, inKenya, and right off the bat I knew that was going to be a problem because that's illegal insome countries and some people — animal activists — would be offended, but on the otherhand, it's her culture and I don't feel comfortable saying — you know — what's right or what'swrong about someone else's culture so I just ended up not putting it on just because I didn'twant to have to take a side. You know, I think you can kind of see the problem, that sometimesyou can put stuff up and it's so easy to alienate maybe a small portion of your audience and Ijust don't want to do that. You know, I don't have a side about the issue but I just don't wantto alienate people. I don't want people on one side of an issue to feel upset so I just play itsafe, and I don't talk about it.
托德：我给你讲一个例子吧，是我最近录的一期节目。那期节目请的是一个女嘉宾史黛拉，她做了很多很棒的视频，其中一个视频是她们国家的常见运动，她讲的是斗鸡，她在视频里解释了肯尼亚的斗鸡运动，我马上就意识到这个话题可能有问题，因为这项运动在一些国家是非法的，动物保护者可能会感到很生气，不过另一方面，这是她的文化，我不太好去评价其他人的文化是对还是错，所以最后我没有把这期节目放在网站上，因为我不想偏袒哪一方。你看，像这样的问题很容易会使一小部分听众疏远网站，我不想这样。我在这个问题上不支持任何一个观点，我只是不想让听众疏远我的网站。我不想让在这个问题上持某个观点的听众感觉苦恼，所以我要谨慎行事，不去讨论这个问题。
Greg: OK, well, you seem to have a lot of listeners who are very happy so don't worry aboutchanging it.
格雷格：好，看起来你的很多听众都很开心，不要担心改变。
Todd: I hope so. I hope so.
托德：希望如此，希望如此。
