一个人的旅行 原计划夫妻俩往远方去探望他们的朋友们。他的妻子露西，却因为婚姻出现了点问题，毅然地拒绝同行，保罗医生只好自己一个人上路，踏上了完全属于他一个人的渡假旅程。 坐飞机的时候，已经感到不适。下地后还要转乘火车。到达目的地后，终于不知倒地。因为背痛得太厉害了。

时间，是一个无情的杀手。 一天一天地不经意的把人趋老。 但对保罗来说，时间却从两方面带来了折磨。 身体，在不知不觉中渐渐的越来越不对劲。 另一方面，婚姻猛然地亮起了红灯。 本来他的婚姻可算得上是完美。 妻子是史丹福医学院的同学。可说是金童玉女，男才女貌。说得上是一段杏林佳话。 两个人都是医生，有着共同的兴趣、事业。是多么令人羡慕。 本来夫妇俩安排好去探望朋友，顺便休假。 但妻子却突然提出去不了，需要一个空窗冷静期。

当他奋斗了十多年，成功在望。再过几个月后，最艰难的也日子就到头了。 就是在他走向人生最高峰，快到收获期的时候，结束繁忙的住院医生的生涯，转身便可成为著名大学的教授。这是多么风光的日子。但身体却出了毛病。 这就是保罗．卡拉尼什的情况。 那时，他只不过是一个36岁的人。正是青壮期的高峰。 （谁说年轻人身体力壮，不会患病？）

这一段是一位叫做吴承翰医生所写的序文，他也是史丹福大学医学院的医生，是保罗的后辈。他是这本中文翻译的医学词汇的把关者。 他所写的也很有意思，说，在寻找生命意义的路上，保罗没有害怕转弯。这是多么好的一句说话。 我们在一生当中，有没有转弯的经验？还是害怕改变？ 转弯的意思，就是有着一个深切的改变，是生命方向的改变。 这样说来，保罗就是从他本人本来所喜爱的文学，转变成为一位医生。这是一个多么大的转弯呀。

《当呼吸化为空气》的作者的名字——卡拉尼什(Kalanithi)，显出他原来是一个印度人，可能是第二代移民到美国的吧。 移民对我们来说，并不陌生。许多人到外国去寻找一个新的生活。有着新的机遇，可以有新的学习工作成长资源。希望人生从此就踏上一条光明的大道。找份收入高的地作，生儿育女，组织一个快乐的家庭，从此快乐地生活下去。还能有什么有别样的抱负吗？ 但看保罗并非好如此。

We had a little fun time in the boxing corner as we get ready for the upcoming training to do some boxing matches and this means that we will be put into different teams and also to learn to work together

春天来了，并且今天是复活节的首天假期。这里已是是个充满阳光的日子，也趁着一天的休闲，拿起这本书来仔细看一看。其实在复活节期间思想感受一下人生，也是挺好的一回事。 这本书的名字有点玄妙，也是十分有意思的一句：我们都知道我们每一天不停地呼吸着，就是把空气变为呼吸。但到了一天，人活不下去了，那么，呼吸就成为空气了。
