John McCain, con sư tử cuối cùng của Thượng viện Mỹ
27 Aug, 2018
Thượng nghị sĩ Mỹ John McCain qua đời ở tuổi 81
-----
...He had been diagnosed (chẩn đoán) with an aggressive glioblastoma (= a highly invasive glioma (khối u thần kinh đệm) in the brain), and the prognosis (tiên lượng bệnh) was serious (nặng, trầm trọng). In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable (không động tâm, không mủi lòng) advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment.
...In 1967, his A4 Skyhawk was hit by a surface-to-air missile over Hanoi. McCain was captured by the North Vietnamese, who tortured (tra tấn) and beat (đánh đập) him for more than five years. He was in solitary confinement (biệt giam) for several of those years.
His captors (kẻ bắt giữ) offered him early release after learning his father was a notable (có tiếng, trứ danh, uy quyền, nhân sĩ) naval officer. But McCain refused to leave before the other prisoners. He was released in 1973.
McCain’s injuries from his imprisonment were visible the rest of his life, most noticeably the restricted movement of his arms.
