一、真題文章（1997年Text 1）
It was 3：45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates， Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up， half a world away， by John Hofsess， executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group's on line service， Death NET. Says Hofsess： "We posted bulletins all day long， because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history."
The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally III law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief， others， including churches， right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association， bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia - where an aging population， life extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part - other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. In the US and Canada， where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength， observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law， an adult patient can request death - probably by a deadly injection or pill - to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days， the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson， a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer， the NT Rights of Terminally III law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering： a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view， but what I was afraid of was how I'd go， because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks，" he says.
二、譯文
凌晨3：45進(jìn)行了最終表決。經(jīng)過(guò)半年的爭(zhēng)論和最后16個(gè)小時(shí)的國(guó)會(huì)激烈辯論，澳大利亞北部地區(qū)成為世界上第一個(gè)合法*，允許醫(yī)生根據(jù)絕癥病人個(gè)人意愿來(lái)結(jié)束起生命。這一法案以無(wú)可爭(zhēng)議的15票贊成10票反對(duì)獲得通過(guò)。幾乎同時(shí)，該消息就出現(xiàn)在互連網(wǎng)上。身處地球另一端的加拿大死亡權(quán)利執(zhí)行主席約翰?；舴蛉乖谑盏皆撓⒑?，邊通過(guò)協(xié)會(huì)的在線服務(wù)"死亡之網(wǎng)"發(fā)了公告。他說(shuō)："我們一整天都在發(fā)布公告，因?yàn)檫@件事的意義不在于它是澳大利亞發(fā)生的事情，而是因?yàn)檫@是世界歷的一件大事。"
人們還需要一段時(shí)間才能了解這整個(gè)事件的重要性。澳大利亞北部地區(qū)制定的這項(xiàng)關(guān)于晚期病人的法律使得醫(yī)生和普通公民都在考慮它在道德和實(shí)際生活方面的意義。有些人放心地松了一口氣，有些人，包括教會(huì)、生存權(quán)力組織和澳大利亞醫(yī)藥協(xié)會(huì)，則猛烈抨擊這項(xiàng)法案，認(rèn)為它的通過(guò)太草率。但是潮流不可能再逆轉(zhuǎn)了。在澳大利亞——那里的人口老齡化問(wèn)題，生命延長(zhǎng)技術(shù)，和社會(huì)態(tài)度的轉(zhuǎn)變，都在施加各自的影響——其他地區(qū)也將考慮通過(guò)類似的有關(guān)安樂(lè)死的法案。在美國(guó)和加拿大，隨著死亡權(quán)力運(yùn)動(dòng)不斷發(fā)展擴(kuò)大，觀察家們正靜候著連鎖反應(yīng)的發(fā)生。
新的北部地區(qū)法律規(guī)定，成年病人可以要求安樂(lè)死——大概是通過(guò)注射致死藥劑或服用致死藥片——來(lái)結(jié)束痛苦。安樂(lè)死的病人必須具備以下條件：該病人必須由兩名醫(yī)生診斷為晚期病人；平靜考慮7天后，病人簽署一個(gè)申請(qǐng)書(shū)；48小時(shí)后再給病人實(shí)行安樂(lè)死。54歲住在達(dá)爾文市（位于北部地方州）的尼克森患肺癌，對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)，允許安樂(lè)死的法案的批準(zhǔn)意味著他可以心情平靜的生活，而無(wú)需懼怕將要遭受的死亡的折磨：由死時(shí)所產(chǎn)生的呼吸困難所帶來(lái)的痛苦折磨。他說(shuō)："從思想認(rèn)識(shí)上講，我并不怕死，但是，我怕的是如何死去，因?yàn)槲以H眼目睹過(guò)醫(yī)院的病人死時(shí)由缺氧而掙扎并抓撓氧氣罩的情景".
