The Best Medicine
As I approach① the hospital wearing my white coat, I look just like any other doctor.[1]That is until I put on my curly② rainbow wig③, big red nose, and add my name badge④ “Doctor Larry LaughOutLoud”.I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there's a familiar atmosphere of boredom⑤ and tension.[2] People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs, looking through⑥ old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously.[3] Anxious⑦ parents do what they can to comfort nervous and crying children.
[1]连词as在此引导时间状语从句, 表示“当……时”, wearing my white coat是现在分词短语作伴随状语。
[2]此处是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是现在分词短语作谓语动词sit的伴随状语;all of which…previously是“代词+介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句, 修饰先行词old magazines。
In the middle of this particular scene I spot⑧ a small girl whose ankle⑨ is twice its normal size.I speak with the onduty⑩ nurse, 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.Although it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury, it's my job to make her feel better.[4]
[4]该句是主从复合句。Although…her injury是由 Although引导的让步状语从句, 其中it's the doctors and nurses who will treat 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, which means clown doctors can be helpful.We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning”.[5]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! Being a clown⑰ doctor means I can help people by entertaining⑱ them.[6]
[5] 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, 修饰名词programme。
[6]此处是动名词短语作主语。
Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities⑲, we clown doctors work together with medical professionals⑳.[7]On a typical day, we spend our time cheering up 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 jokes.Some children, though, don't feel like laughing, especially if they're in pain.We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient.[8]
[7]Visiting…facilities是现在分词短语作时间状语;we clown doctors中的clown doctors是主语we的同位语。
[8]keep us updated on each patient属于“keep+宾语+宾补”结构。因update与宾语us是逻辑上的动宾关系, 所以这里用过去分词短语作宾补。
And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick [9]While the doctor concentrates on examining Lara's ankle, I get her attention by doing a magic trick.Although she is clearly still in some pain, her scared and anxious look has been replaced—first by a small smile, and then by loud laughter as I “magically” produce her sock from out of my pocket.Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara's parents more relaxed.
[9]“does indeed seem”是“助动词do/does/did+动词原形”结构, 对谓语动词进行强调, 表示“的确……”。
And as for me? Well, when I take off my wig and my red nose, I'm still wearing a big smile, as I remember all the fun and laughter of the day.[10]While there might be more hospital visits ahead for Lara and others, I hope that clown doctors help make it a friendlier place to visit.After all, it really is true that “laughter is the best medicine”.[11]
[10]when引导时间状语从句, as引导原因状语从句, as意为“因为, 由于”。
[11]这里it是形式主语, 真正的主语是后面 that引导的从句。
最佳灵药
当我穿着白大褂走向医院的时候, 我看起来跟其他医生一样——直到我戴上卷曲的彩虹色假发和大红鼻子, 别上我的名牌“拉里笑哈哈医生”为止。我穿过一道道门进入候诊区, 这里充斥着常见的厌烦和紧张情绪。人们别扭地坐在塑料椅上, 翻阅着那些已经被读过几百次的旧杂志。焦虑的父母们正竭尽所能安抚紧张哭闹的孩子。
就在这样的场景里, 我注意到一个小女孩, 她的脚踝肿成了原来的两倍。我和当值护士交谈时她告诉我, 劳拉从自行车上摔下来, 她的父母匆忙将她送到医院。自从来到这里, 劳拉就因为疼痛而一直大哭。尽管为她治疗伤痛的是医生和护士, 但让她的心情变好则是我的工作。
科学研究表明, 欢笑能令人产生一些有益身心的化学物质, 这就意味着小丑医生能帮到患者。我们是受过专门培训的小丑, 是“医院小丑”项目的成员。我选择这个职业是由于我自己小时候去医院的经历。尽管当时医生和护士都尽职尽责, 但医院实在不是个适合孩子们待的地方。我在那里的大部分时间要么觉得害怕, 要么感到非常无聊!而成为小丑医生意味着我可以通过娱乐人们的方式帮助他们。
作为小丑医生, 我们要走访医院和其他的医疗保健机构, 和专业医疗人员一起工作。我们一天的工作内容通常是为病人、病人家属, 甚至是医院的工作人员带来欢乐!为此, 我们会变魔术、唱歌、讲故事, 当然还会讲一些滑稽的笑话。尽管如此, 有些孩子并不想笑, 尤其是在他们感到疼痛的时候。所以我们必须非常善解人意, 并且与医护人员密切合作, 他们会为我们提供每个病人的最新情况。
而我的灵药似乎确实取得了成效。当医生集中精力检查劳拉的脚踝时, 我用魔术来吸引劳拉的注意力。看得出, 尽管她显然仍有一些痛苦, 但她恐惧和焦虑的表情已经不见了:先是一个小小的微笑, 接着变成了大笑——因为我“魔术般地”从我的口袋里变出了她的一只袜子。看到女儿破涕为笑, 劳拉的父母也松了一口气。
至于我呢?当我摘下假发和红鼻子的时候, 脸上仍然带着大大的微笑, 因为我记得这天所有的乐趣和欢笑。也许将来, 对于劳拉或者其他人来说, 他们还有更多到医院就诊的需要, 而我希望, 小丑医生能够帮助医院成为一个更温暖友善的就诊场所。毕竟, “欢笑是最佳灵药”, 这句话是千真万确的。
