【BBC听力】癌症病人的新头发——海娜王冠
My name is Abi and I'm 27 years old. I'm a professional singer. And a year ago I was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma which is a type of blood cancer. I'm here today to get a henna tattoo from the fabulous Ash Kumar. I do henna crowns for raising confidence in someone. I'm using my arts to make you stand out and shine, really. Losing my hair was really difficult at first. Having a bald head and the appearance that cancer gives you, you know, no eyebrows, no eyelashes, you do have a lot of attention in the street, people looking at you.
Well, I think Abi will be walking around like a queen. I think the hardest thing going through was when the chemotherapy failed for a second time and I was really faced with my mortality and having to face the fear of death. I had to face losing my fertility, chemo failing twice. I would crash and feel so much despair, and feel really lost. Seeing myself get through it, really actually was one of the greatest gifts that I've ever had. And because when you conquer such a huge fear you just don't fear life so much anymore. Are you ready? Yeah! One...two, three. Wow! Oh my Goodness! It's amazing! It looks like a real crown! It's so much better than hair! I wish I have that everyday!

我叫艾比，今年27岁。我是一个专业歌手。一年前，我被诊断患有霍奇金淋巴瘤，这是一种血癌。我今天来这里是因为非常厉害的阿什·库马尔要给我头部做印度彩绘。我做王冠纹身是为了提升人们的自信。我用我的艺术让你脱颖而出、光彩夺目。一开始，掉头发对我来说真的是件很难接受的事。因为癌症变成了秃头还有容貌也变了，你懂的，眉毛没有了，眼睫毛也没有了，走在大街上，确实增加了很多的“关注度”，人们会盯着你看。我觉得艾比会像个女王一样走一圈。我觉得我经历的最困难的事是第二次化疗失败后，我真的要面对自己的命运了，我不得不面对死亡的威胁所带来的恐惧。化疗失败了两次，我还要面对不能生育的现实。我可能会跨掉，可能非常绝望，可能会完全迷茫。但是现在看到自己克服了这个困难，这真的是我有生以来获得的最好的精神财富之一。因为当你战胜了如此巨大的恐惧后，你就没那么害怕生活了。准备好了吗？是的！1……2……3……哇哦！我的天那！太不可思议了！它看起来像真的王冠！比头发好太多了！真希望我可以天天“戴”着它！
