为“当……时”；wearing my white coat是v.­ing短语作伴随状语。

[2]此句是where引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the waiting area，where在从句中作地点状语。

[3]本句是主从复合句。主句是“People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs”； looking through old magazines是v.­ing短语作伴随状语；all of which...previously是“代词＋of＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词old magazines。

[4]此句中的what they can是what they can do的省略形式；to comfort nervous and crying children为动词不定式短语作目的状语。

In the middle of this particular scene I spot⑧ a small girl [5]whose ankle⑨ is twice its normal size.I speak with the on­duty⑩ nurse，[6]who tells me that Lara's parents rushed⑪ her to the hospital after she fell off her bicycle.Since getting here，Lara has spent her time crying in pain⑫.[7]Although it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury，it's my job to make her feel better.

塑料椅子上，翻阅着

之前已经被读过几百次的旧杂志。焦虑的父母竭力安抚紧张哭闹的孩子。

就在这样的场景里，我看到一个小女孩，她的脚踝肿成正常的两倍大。我和值班护士交谈时她告诉我，劳拉从自行车上摔下来后，她的父母急忙把她送到了医院。自从来到这里，劳拉疼得一直哭。虽然为她疗伤的是医生和护士，但让她感觉好点是我的工作。

科学研究表明，笑会产生让人感觉更好的化学物质，这意味着小丑医生是能有所帮助的。我们是受过专门培训的小丑，是“医院小丑”项目的工作人员。我选择这个职业源于我小时候去

her injury”是强调句，强调了从句的主语the doctors and nurses。主句中的it是形式主语，真正的主语是to make her feel better。

Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals⑬ to make people feel better，[8]which means clown doctors can be helpful.[9]We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning”. I chose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid.Although the doctors and nurses did a great job⑭，hospitals weren't really designed for⑮ children.I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened and more than a little⑯ bored！[10]Being a clown doctor means I can help people by entertaining⑰ them.

[8]此句是which引导的非限制性定语从句，which在从句中作主语，指代的是前面整个主句的内容。

[9]此句中的trained是过去分词作前置定语，修饰名词clowns，train与clowns是逻辑上的动宾关系；known as “hospital clowning”是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰a programme。

[10]此处是v.­ing短语作主语。

[11]Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities⑱， we clown doctors work together with medical professionals⑲. On a typical day，we spend our time cheering up⑳ patients，their families，and more often than not，the hospital staff，too！We do this by doing magic tricks，singing songs，telling stories and，of course，telling silly

　在走访医院和其他医疗保健中心时，我们小丑医生与专业医疗人员一起工作。平日里，我们把时间花在为病人、他们的家人以及医院工作人员打气上！我们通过变魔术、唱歌、讲故事，当然还讲滑稽的笑话来达到这个目的。然而，有些孩子并不想笑，尤其是他们感到疼痛的时候。我们必须非常善解人意，并与医生和护士密切合作，他们让我们了解每位
