She took a break from her work to go to hospital. 对于中国人来说，节日通常意味着放下工作，享受家庭团聚的欢乐时光。 2.“... We need to stand by every minute,” says Leng. Doctors need to stand by to save people. stand by意为“随时准备；待命”。 冷文颖说:“……我们需要随时待命。” E.g. We should stand by and help each other when our classmates are in trouble. 3. But she never regrets her decision to be an ER doctor. regret sth. / doing sth.表示“后悔(做了某事)，对……感到遗憾”。 Eg. I regret eating so much at the party last night. I regret taking such a big bag. 但她从未后悔过选择成为一名急诊医生。 They regret the decicion to choose the book. 4. I make the most of every minute with my family. make the most of sth.意为“充分利用某事物”。 我充分利用和家人在一起的每一分钟。 She is making the most of her time to study. E.g. We should make the most of this good weather and go to the beach. 5. “... I'm very thankful for their support,” she says. be thankful for...意为“感激/感谢……"。 她说:“……我非常感谢他们的支持。” E.g. I'm really thankful for the love and support from my friends. We should be thankful for our teachers' patience and guidance. 6. They give up their family time to answer the call of duty. (1) give up...意为“放弃……(尤指经常做的事情)"。 他们放弃了陪伴家人的时间，来响应职责的召唤。 (2)本句中call是名词，意为“召唤，要求”，表示一种 请求或命令。这个用法常见于文学作品或正式语境中， 是一种具有诗意的表达方式。 E.g. She gave up driving her car and went to work by bike instead.
