1. But Florence found parties boring; she wanted to be a nurse.
    但是弗罗伦斯觉得舞会无聊；她想当护士。

2. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was there, but he paid no attention to her and the night noises of the hospital — the banging of an oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff exchanging greetings, the cries and moans and breathing
    每次护士进来，海军陆战队队员都坐在那儿。可对于护士的进出、医院晚上的各种响动 ， 氧气瓶的撞击声、值夜班的医生护士打招呼时的笑声、其他病人的哭喊、呻吟和呼吸声，他都视若不见、充耳不闻。

3. The nurse was very informative and told me everything about his case.
    这位护士提供了很多情况, 把有关他病情的一切都告诉了我。

4. The nurse was a kind but phlegmatic person.
    这位护士心地善良, 但却是个不易动感情的人。

5. The brain surgeon asked the nurse to pass him a probe.
    脑外科医生要护士将探针递给他。

6. The nurse felt the pulse in his wrist.
    护士在他的手腕上号脉。

7. The nurse put a screen around his bed.
    护士在他床四周挂上帘子。

8. The nurse brought a chair, so the Marine could sit by the bed.
    护士搬来一张椅子，那海军陆战队队员就坐在床边守着。

9. The Marine placed the lifeless hand he had been holding on the bed, and went to inform the nurse.
    海军陆战队队员把那只他一直握着的、现在已失去生命的手放回床上，然后去通知护士。

10. This principle works elsewhere as well. To enhance your creativity, learn something new. If you're a banker, take up tap dancing; if you're a nurse, try a course in vitamin therapy.
    这个道理在其他方面也同样有效。要提高创造力，就得学习新的知识。如果你是银行家，就学一学跳踢踏舞；如果你是护士，就学一学维他命疗法。
