英文原文 RENTON, Wash. — Jadarian Price was 12 when his mother sat him down for a conversation neither wanted to have. Jessica Butler, a single mother of three, is confident a decade later that she was saved by Price. Butler gave birth to Price when she was 18 and had yet to enroll in nursing school at Grayson College in Denison, Texas. Butler was a pillar of stability throughout Price's childhood. She worked a full-time job in hospice care, plus side gigs cleaning toilets, driving for a ride-sharing service, and delivering food orders to make ends meet in a one-parent income home.
中文翻译 华盛顿州伦顿——杰达里安·普莱斯 12 岁那年，他的母亲坐下来和他进行了一场双方都不愿面对的对话。作为三个孩子的单身母亲，杰西卡·巴特勒十年后仍坚信，是普莱斯"救"了她。巴特勒生下普莱斯时才 18 岁，自己还未踏入位于德州丹尼森的格雷森学院护理专业就读。巴特勒是普莱斯整个童年时期稳定的中流砥柱。她做着临终关怀的全职工作，还兼职网约车送客、外卖配送等零工，靠一人收入撑起整个单亲家庭。
长难句解析 结构：主谓宾 + 并列名词补足 + 三组并列现在分词短语（cleaning / driving / delivering）+ 不定式短语 + 介词短语。解析：She worked a full-time job in hospice care 主谓宾，in hospice care 介词短语修饰 job；plus side gigs 补充名词短语作并列宾语；cleaning toilets、driving for a ride-sharing service、and delivering food orders 三组并列现在分词短语作后置定语修饰 side gigs；to make ends meet 不定式短语作目的状语（make ends meet 固定搭配"勉强维持生计"）；in a one-parent income home 地点状语。要点：英文新闻常用 work a full-time job... plus side gigs... 描绘多重职业；三个并列现在分词作后置定语是经济/生活类报道典型写法；ride-sharing 是合成形容词（ride + sharing）。
英文原文 So when Butler, at age 31, told Price she had been diagnosed with cancer, it was a shocking blow. Sixteen rounds of chemotherapy loomed. Butler was adamant, though, that she did not want to miss any of Price's baseball, basketball or football games. Because, as she put it, "I don't know how long I'm going to be here." "That really stuck with me," Price, now 22, said last week in a quiet moment after practice. "Like, 'OK, every time she comes out to my game, I got to give it all I've got,' 'cause this could be her last game she comes to."
中文翻译 于是，当 31 岁的巴特勒告诉普莱斯她被确诊患癌时，这无疑是一个晴天霹雳。十六轮化疗即将来临。然而巴特勒态度坚决，她不愿错过普莱斯的任何一场棒球、篮球或橄榄球比赛。因为正如她所言："我不知道自己还能撑多久。"22 岁的普莱斯上周在训练结束后一个安静的间隙说道："这句话真的深深刻在我心里。就好像——'好吧，她每次来看我比赛，我都得全力以赴，因为这也许是她能来看的最后一场。'"
长难句解析 结构：连词 so + 时间状语从句（内含介词短语插入语 + 宾语从句）+ 主句（it was a shocking blow）。解析：So 是连接副词承接上段；when Butler, at age 31, told Price she had been diagnosed with cancer 是 when 引导的时间状语从句，at age 31 介词短语作插入语，she had been diagnosed with cancer 是省略了 that 的宾语从句作 told 的直接宾语；it was a shocking blow 主句，it 作形式主语，实际主语是前面整个 when 从句所表达的内容。要点：英文新闻中 it was a... blow 是表达"打击"的高频句型；时间状语从句内嵌宾语从句是经典多重从句嵌套结构；So 在段首承上启下意为"于是、就这样"。
英文原文 Butler is in full remission. She has been cancer-free for nine years and has watched plenty of Price's football games. A decade after her diagnosis, much has changed for Price, from high school stardom to a serious injury to fighting for carries at Notre Dame behind Jeremiah Love, whom the Arizona Cardinals drafted with the No. 3 pick and who will face Price and the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
中文翻译 巴特勒现已完全康复。她已九年无癌，并亲眼见证了普莱斯的无数场橄榄球比赛。距她确诊十年后的今天，普莱斯身上也发生了许多变化——从高中明星球员，到遭遇严重伤病，再到在圣母大学校队中为争夺持球机会而与杰里迈亚·洛夫并肩竞争；如今洛夫已被亚利桑那红雀队以第 3 顺位摘下，周日将代表红雀队对阵效力于西雅图海鹰队的普莱斯。
长难句解析 结构：介词短语前置（时间状语）+ 主谓宾 + 三组介词短语（from…to…to…）+ 介词短语 + 双非限定性定语从句（whom…and who…）。解析：A decade after her diagnosis 时间状语前置突出时间跨度；much has changed for Price 主谓宾（much 主语，has changed 现在完成时）；from high school stardom to a serious injury to fighting for carries at Notre Dame 三个并列介词短语描述三个阶段；behind Jeremiah Love 修饰 fighting；whom the Arizona Cardinals drafted with the No. 3 pick 与 and who will face Price and the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday 两个非限定性定语从句并列修饰 Love。要点：典型"介词短语 + 主句 + 串联介词短语 + 双重非限定性定语从句"长难句；from A to B to C 串联结构简洁有力，是英文体育报道常见写法；whom 在从句中作 drafted 的宾语。
中文段落大意：12 岁的普莱斯与母亲杰西卡·巴特勒进行了一次双方都不愿面对的对话；巴特勒是单亲妈妈，18 岁生下普莱斯后才踏入护理学校，一边做临终关怀工作，一边兼职网约车、外卖配送等零工撑起家庭。巴特勒 31 岁被确诊患癌，十六轮化疗即将来临，但她态度坚决不愿错过普莱斯任何一场比赛；母亲"不知道自己还能撑多久"的话深深刻在普莱斯心中，使他在每场比赛中都全力以赴。巴特勒已完全康复、九年无癌；普莱斯经历从高中明星、严重伤病，到在圣母大学与杰里迈亚·洛夫并肩竞争；如今洛夫已被亚利桑那红雀队以第 3 顺位选中，周日将代表红雀对阵普莱斯效力的西雅图海鹰。
任务：请将以下句子翻译成中文，重点关注"时间状语从句内嵌宾语从句 + 介词短语插入语 + it 作形式主语"这一复合句式。
💬 在评论区留下你的翻译，下期公布参考答案！（提示：So 在段首承上启下意为"于是、就这样"；at age 31 介词短语作插入语；told Price she had been diagnosed with cancer 中省略了 that 的宾语从句作直接宾语；主句 it was a shocking blow 中 it 是形式主语，实际主语是前面的 when 从句表达的整件事；had been diagnosed with 是被动语态过去完成时；翻译时可将 when 从句前置，再以"这无疑是……"承接主句。）
