英語六級-完形語法關鍵句391. Doctors are often caught in a dilemma bec

391. Doctors are often caught in a dilemma because they have to decide whether they should tell their patients the truth or not.

譯文　醫(yī)生常常進退兩難，因為他們得決定是否應該將患者的真實病情告訴他們。

點睛　dilemma意為“兩難的境地”，它通常用在短語（be caught）in a dilemma或者between dilemma and the deep blue sea中。如：

She was in a dilemma as to whether to stay at school or get a job. 她進退兩難，不知該留在學校讀書還是找份工作。

考點歸納　whether通常與or not搭配使用，表示“是否……”，但是or not也可以省略。如：

You are entitled to a free gift whether you accept our offer of insurance or not. 無論你是否接受我們的保險提議，你都可以免費得到一份禮物。
