If you don't make the right call about a patient's course of treatment, they could end up dead!做医生压力太大了。如果对于一个患者的治疗方案你没能做正确的决定，他们可能就会死掉的。既然call在英文中，当名词可以表示decision，所以在英文中，其实我们还可以说a(n) tough /hard/difficult/easy call前三个表示：“一个艰难的决定”，最后一个自然就是“一个很简单的决定”；eg: That's a tough call to make.那是一个艰难的决定。eg: It was a tough call, but eventually I decided to give up my job.做那个决定很难，但是我最终决定辞职。然后口语中也会经常说：It's your call.就相当于It's up to you.“这事儿你来做决定。”eg: More investment? That's got to be your call - you're the one that's paying!投更多的钱？那得你来决定，毕竟你是出钱的人。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】我们公司做了一个艰难的决定，录取了她。
