Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital says the tracheotomy took less than an hour and was successful. Doctors cut a small hole in Mr. Sharon's neck and inserted a tube into his windpipe. The aim is to wean him from a respirator which has helped him breathe since a massive stroke and cerebral hemorrhage early this month. Medical experts say the tracheotomy is another bad sign for the 77-year-old prime minister.
耶路撒冷哈达萨医院称，此次手术花了不到一个小时，进行的很成功。医生们在沙龙的脖子上面切开一个小孔，并在他的气管内插入一根导管。
"The chances are very poor for recovery," said Israeli neurosurgeon Harry Rappaport. "We have to take into account the massiveness of thehemorrhageand his age and usually in such circumstances the prognosis is very bad."
Vocabulary:
tracheotomy: （气管切开术）
hemorrhage: to bleed copiously（大出血）
