spital after about 48 hours and regained normal activity the following week. The highspeed fiberoptic connection between New York and France made it possible to overe a key obstacle to telesurgery time delay. It was crucial that a continuous time delay of less than 200 milliseconds be maintained throughout the operation, between the surgeon’s movements in New York and the return video(from Strasbourg)on his screen. The delay problem includes video coding decoding and signal transmission time. France Tele’s engineers achieved an average time delay of 150 milliseconds. “I felt as fortable operating on my patient as if I had been in the room,” says Marescaux. The successful collaboration(合作 )among medicine, advanced technology, and telem unications is likely to have enormous implications for patient care and doctor training. Highly skilled surgeons may soon regularly perform especially difficult operations through longdistance procedures. The puter systems used to control surgical movement can also lead to a breakthrough in teaching surgical techniques to a new generation of physicians. More surgeonsintraining will have the opportunity to observe their teachers in action in telesurgery operating rooms around the world. Marescaux describes the success of the remotely performed surgical procedure as the beginning of a “third revolution” in surgery within the last decade. The first was the arrival of minimally invasive surgery, enabling procedures to be performed with guidance by a camera, meaning that the abdomen(腹部 )and thorax(胸腔 )do not have to be opened. The second was the introduction of puterassisted surgery, where plicated software algorithms(計(jì)算法 )enhance the safety of the surgeon’s movements during a procedure, making them more accurate, while introducing the concept of distance between the surgeon and the patient. It was thus natural to imagine that this distancecurrently several meters in the operating roomcould potentially be up to several thousand kilometers. 66.

EnglishChinese Translation (10 points) Dun took a deep breath, thinking over what had been said and searching in his mind for a possible course of action. Not for the first time in his flying career, he felt himself in the grip of an acute sense of apprehension, only this time his awareness of his responsibility for the safety of a huge, plex aircraft and nearly sixty lives was tinged with a sudden icy premonition of disaster.
