MY 100 DAYS WITH MSF
22 March 2015
Today we celebrate.It's exactly one month since the last reported case.But it is vital① not to take any chances②.[1] So, 20 health care workers from almost as many countries, comrades③ in arms, raise virtual④ glasses to each other.
[1]不定式短语not to take any chances作主语,it是形式主语。
I arrived in Liberia with MSF almost three months ago.When I saw the tragic⑤ scenes⑥ on the news, I felt it was my duty as a doctor to go there and offer⑦ my help.I knew I was putting my life at risk⑧, but I thought,“If I don't do it, who will?” It is important to remember that Ebola⑨ doesn't respect⑩ national boundaries⑪.There are no borders⑫ for doctors, for patients or for anyone else involved in⑬ combating⑭ this terrible disease.[2]
[2]该句属于there be 句型,过去分词短语involved in combating this terrible disease作后置定语。
My mission⑮ was to relieve⑯ Emma, a Canadian specialist⑰ in infectious⑱ diseases at the end of⑲ her posting.Emma spent an hour with me in the staff room talking me through the daily routine⑳.As she talked, I could hear at least three different languages being spoken at the tables around us.[3]Later, Emma introduced me to some of the others working for or alongside( MSF: Wilton, a young local man, who helped carry the very sick into the treatment clinic( and who disinfected( clothing and surfaces; Maisy, a retired public health official( from Darwin, Australia, whose local team of volunteers educated people on preventing infection; Alfonso, a softspoken Argentinian doctor in his
50s, who had previously( worked on( Ebola outbreaks( in Sierra Leone and Guinea.The list went on.I found that I was the only Chinese doctor among people of all ages, colours and beliefs, from every continent except Antarctica.With each person I met, I felt a growing sense of pride as part of this extraordinary( team, whose devotion( to the cause shone from their eyes.[4]
[3]As she talked是由as引导的时间状语从句, 现在分词短语being spoken作宾语补足语。
[4]I met是省略关系代词的限制性定语从句,whose devotion to the cause shone from their eyes是非限制性定语从句。
In the few weeks since then, I have come to know these people very well.We have worked together, surrounded by blood, vomit( and death.[5]But, although the death rate is very high, we will never give up( on a patient, and our efforts do sometimes end in miracles(.[6]
[5]过去分词短语 surrounded by blood, vomit and death作状语。
[6]although引导让步状语从句,主句是由and连接的并列句,其中do强调谓语end。
Just after my arrival, a family of six were brought here in the back of a van(.All of them were infected.The twin( girls and their parents soon died.We knew there was little hope for the brothers, but we did everything we could to save them.[7] When we visited the ward( the next morning, we were amazed to see that against all odds(, both boys were still alive.Pascal and Daniel have since made a full recovery.This small but unexpected success compensated( for many other less fortunate cases.
[7]该句是由but连接的并列句。前面的分句中there was little hope for the brothers是宾语从句,后面的分句中we could是定语从句,不定式短语to save them作目的状语。
To be caught up in such a crisis creates powerful bonds between people, not only between carers and patients, but also between all those who have come from different parts of the world and joined together in a common cause.[8]It is so inspiring( to have colleagues like Wilton, Maisy and Alfonso, not to mention( all the others I have worked with.
[8]不定式短语To be caught up in such a crisis作主语,not only…but also…连接的是介词短语,who引导定语从句,修饰those。
Now my time is almost up.In a few days, someone else will arrive to step into my shoes(, and the tireless work that the MSF members do in more than 70 countries and regions around the world will go on.In a world still facing so many problems, it is absolutely(essential( for us all to collaborate( to create a global community with a shared future of peace and prosperity(.[9]
[9]现在分词短语facing so many problems作后置定语,it作形式主语,后面的不定式短语作真正主语,其中的不定式短语 to create…作目的状语。

与无国界医生奋战100天
2015年3月22日
我们今天庆祝了一番,因为距离发现上一个报告病例已经整整一个月了。但重要的是我们不能心存侥幸。所以,我们这20位来自世界各地的医护人员,也是战友们,假装举杯,互相庆祝。
大约三个月前,我随无国界医生一起来到利比里亚。当我从新闻上看到一幅幅凄惨的画面时,我觉得作为医生我有责任到那里去帮忙。我知道这样做是在冒生命危险,但是我想:“假如我不去做,又有谁会去呢?”重要的是要记住,埃博拉病毒传播起来是不分国界的。医生、病人或者任何被迫与这种可怕的疾病抗衡的人都是不分国界的。
我的任务是接替埃玛,她是一位加拿大传染病专家,任期届满。我和埃玛在办公室用了一个小时交接日常工作。她说话的时候,我可以听到隔壁桌传过来的谈话声,至少混着三种不同的语言。接着,埃玛向我介绍了几个人,他们都是无国界医生的工作人员,或者同该组织一起工作的人:威尔顿是一位当地的年轻人,他帮忙把重症患者带进治疗所,负责衣物及皮肤表面消毒;迈西来自澳大利亚的达尔文市,是一名退休的公共卫生官员,他带领当地的志愿者团队给人们进行预防传染培训;阿方索是一位五十来岁的阿根廷医生,说起话来温声细语,曾参与抗击前几次塞拉利昂和几内亚爆发的埃博拉病毒。埃玛还介绍了其他人。这些人来自除南极洲外的
世界各地,各种年龄、肤色、信仰都有,而我发现自己是其中唯一一位中国医生。能够和在这里遇到的人一起,成为这个杰出小组的一员,我心中的自豪感油然而生,大家的双眼中都熠熠闪耀着奉献精神的光芒。
接下来的几个礼拜里,我已经开始和大家熟稔起来。我们一起工作,周围充斥着血液、呕吐物和死亡。不过,虽然死亡率极高,但是我们永远不会放弃任何一个患者,何况我们的努力有时真的会产生奇迹。
就在我刚刚来到这儿的时候,有一家六口躺在小货车的车斗里被运了过来。他们全都被感染了。不久,其中一对双胞胎姐妹和她们的父母就去世了。我们知道,剩下的兄弟俩也希望渺茫,但是我们竭尽所能去救治他们。第二天早上,我们去病房探望时惊讶地发现,虽然历经千险,两个男孩仍然活了下来。此后,帕斯卡尔和丹尼尔的病痊愈了。这次小小的却出乎意料的成功相对其他没有那么幸运的病例来说,是一种弥补。
患难与共的经历在人与人之间建立了紧密的纽带,不仅仅在于医护人员与患者之间,还在于所有来自世界各地、因为共同事业聚在一起的人们之间。有威尔顿、迈西和阿方索这样的同事已令我倍感鼓舞,更别提其他所有和我们一起共事的人了。
如今我的任期也快结束了。几天后,另一个人就会到达这里,接替我的工作。而无国界医生的成员们将在全世界超过70个国家与地区继续不知疲倦地工作着。这个世界仍然面临着许多问题,我们所有人都必须团结合作,打造一个共享和平繁荣未来的“地球村”。
