If you live in a countrylike Australia (with its ultra-harsh UV rays) 1 in 2 men will be affected by cancer during their lifetime, for womenthat number is 1 in 3.
生活在像澳大利亚一样的国家(有着超高紫外线辐射)，一半左右的男性在其一生中都曾感染过癌症，而这种情况发生在女性身上的概率是三分之一。
And whilst those stats varysomewhat country to country, many of us either have friends or relatives whoeither have been affected by cancer or know somebody who has. It's been saidthat whilst the disease (in all its hideous forms) is capable to taking awayfrom the body, it can never suppress memories, silence courage or conquer thehuman spirit.
不同国家的紫外线辐射量虽不尽相同，但我们当中许多人都有朋友或亲人曾经患过癌症或正经受着癌症的折磨。癌症(以各种各样可怕的形式存在于人体)可以夺走人类的生命，却无法抹杀人类的记忆，压制人类的勇气，击垮人类的精神。
Those 3 elements arebeautifully encapsulated in the following photo series by Angelo Merendino. Hephotographed each step of his wife Jennifer's battle with cancer, from herdiagnosis, to her treatments through to the very final stages of her life.
以上这三种元素在这些照片中被生动地呈现了出来。照片出自Angelo Merendino之手。他用相机记录了妻子Jennifer与癌症抗争的每一步，从诊断到治疗，直至她生命的最后阶段......
It is an incredibly movingtribute to their enduring love, the challenges they both faced and a comfortingreminder that through even her darkest days, he was there by her side.
这些照片是对他们永恒的爱情以及共同面对挑战的动人颂词，是丈夫在妻子生命最黑暗的时光里不离不弃的欣慰纪念。
In his interview withHuffington Post, Angelo added:
"People turn away fromthe day-to-day of cancer a little more which I understand. It's painful. BeforeJen and I went through this, I didn't know what it was like either. Jenultimately chose to face it head on and put the information out there if peoplewant it. It at least makes me feel like we made something positive out ofsomething horrible."
在赫芬顿邮报的采访中，Angelo补充道：“人们不知道、不愿意看到癌症患者的日常生活是怎么样的。这我能理解，因为这是十分痛苦的。在我和小珍一起走过这段艰难路程之前，我也并不知道会是怎样的一种情况。小珍最终选择直面现实并公开相关的信息，呈现给想要看到的人们。这至少让我觉得我们把可怕的事情转变为了积极的事情。”
It's been a year and halfsince Jennifer sadly lost her battle, but with these photographs, Angelo hasensure that her memory, bravery and their unquestionable love will alwaysremain.
遗憾的是，Jennifer并没有战胜病魔。至今，她已经离开我们一年半的时间了。但是，Angelo用照片保留住了她的回忆，她的勇敢以及他们之间无可置疑的爱情。
In memory of Jennifer,Angelo has started The Love You Share, a non-profit organization whose missionis to provide financial assistance to women in need while they are receivingtreatment for breast cancer. For him, it's the perfect way to honor Jennifer'slegacy by helping others.
为了纪念Jennifer，Angelo发起了非盈利组织The Love You Share，旨在为接受乳癌治疗的女性朋友们提供经济上的援助。对于他来说，帮助他人是纪念Jennifer的最好方式。 |
