質問: the cancer was missed my sister has been diagnosed with terminal cancer—at 44, with children. this came out of the blue. she has not had previous cancer. the cancer was missed, her doctor was supercilious, her boyfriend finally took her in to the emergency room for pain after he became fed up. the cancer was missedとはどのような意味でしょうか?よろしくお願いします
回答: the cancer was missedとはどのような意味でしょうか? ガンは避けられた、すなわち、医者の言い方は、ガンを擬人化して、(彼女があまりに健康で、猛進してきたので)ガンの方が恐れをなして避けた、という意味だと思います。
