教皇利奥在罗马接受肺癌手术四天后返回梵蒂冈。教皇利奥在周六被推离杰梅利大学医院时，面对旁观者的“圣洁”呼喊，表示自己感觉“好多了”。
Pope Leo has returned to the Vatican, four days after receiving surgery for lung cancer in Rome. The pope said he was feeling “much better” when asked about his health as he was driven away from the Gemelli University Hospital against cries of “holiness” from onlookers on Saturday.
利奥周二接受了右肺下叶切除手术。手术确认他患有腺癌，这是最常见的肺癌类型。
Leo had the lower lobe of his right lung removed on Tuesday. The surgery confirmed he had adenocarcinoma, which is the most common type of lung cancer.
他计划在周日恢复部分职责，届时他将以天主教传统的天使经祝福向信众致意。医生表示，检测结果证实他的状况“持续改善”。
He is set to resume some duties on Sunday, when he greets the faithful with the Catholic Church’s traditional Angelus blessing. Doctors have said tests confirmed his “continued improvement”.
自手术以来，教皇利奥曾与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京通电话，与高级助理举行会议，并在临时医院小堂举行弥撒。
Since having surgery, the pope has had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, held meetings with senior aides and celebrated mass in a makeshift hospital chapel.
梵蒂冈发言人表示，利奥感谢罗马医院员工每日照顾病者脆弱状态的工作，以及他们为他所做的一切。
Leo thanked staff in the Rome hospital for the work they do every day “taking care of the sick in their fragility”, as well as for “what they had done for him”, a Vatican spokesperson said.
教皇利奥的下一项重要行程是中旬访问拉丁美洲，这使他有大约三周时间恢复，以应对包括十二次航班和两次直升机旅行的雄心勃勃之旅。
Pope Leo’s next major engagement is a trip to Latin America in mid-November, giving him about three weeks to recover for an ambitious journey that includes a dozen flights and two helicopter trips.
利奥是首位来自美国的教皇，出生于芝加哥。然而，他在南美洲生活和工作已有数十年，并且是入籍的秘鲁公民。
Leo is the first pope from the United States, hailing from Chicago. However, he has spent decades living and working across South America and is a naturalised Peruvian citizen.
