But for Leng Wenying, festivals only mean more work. As a doctor in the emergency room, Leng misses many family meals with her loved ones. She is often much busier during festivals. Sometimes she has to work without any breaks for 20 hours. This makes her tired and thirsty.“Festivals are a challenge because our patients are often in a bad situation. We need to stand by every minute," says Leng. Leng's duty means she has little time to be with her family at festivals. But she never regrets her decision to be an ER doctor. "I make the most of every minute with my family. I'm very thankful for their support," she says. Leng is only one of millions of medical workers in China. They give up their family time to answer the call of duty. In the heart of every patient, their hard work shines brighter than festive fireworks. 当职责照耀 对于中国人来说，节日通常意味着暂别工作，与家人欢聚一堂。但对冷文英来说，节日只意味着更多的工作。作为急诊科医生，冷文英错过了许多与亲人共享的家庭聚餐。她在节日期间通常更加忙碌。有时候，她需要连续工作20个小时而没有任何休息。这让她感到疲倦和口渴。“节日对我们来说是个挑战，因为我们的病人通常处于不好的情况下。我们需要时刻待命，”冷文英说道。冷文英的职责意味着她在节日里很少有时间与家人在一起。但她从不后悔选择成为急诊科医生。“我尽量利用每一分钟和家人在一起。我非常感激他们的支持，”她说。冷文英只是中国数百万医务工作者中的一员。他们放弃了与家人共度的时光，响应职责的召唤。在每位病人的心中，他们的辛勤工作比任何节日的烟火都更加耀眼。 知识解析2 1For Chinese people，festivals usually mean a break from work and happy family reunions. 对于中国人来说，节日往往意味着放下工作，享受家庭团聚的欢乐时光。 mean /mi:n/ v.意味着；意思是，表示……的意思 mean作动词的用法： 意味着 mean sth.意味着某事 mean doing sth.意味着做某事 Those clouds mean rain.那些云意味着要下雨。 This new order will mean working overtime.这个新订单意味着要加班加点。 意思是 What does...mean?= What’s the meaning of...?……的意思是什么?

But for Leng Wenying, festivals only mean more work. As a doctor in the emergency room, Leng misses many family meals with her loved ones. She is often much busier during festivals. Sometimes she has to work without any breaks for 20 hours. This makes her tired and thirsty.“Festivals are a challenge because our patients are often in a bad situation. We need to stand by every minute," says Leng. Leng's duty means she has little time to be with her family at festivals. But she never regrets her decision to be an ER doctor. "I make the most of every minute with my family. I'm very thankful for their support," she says. Leng is only one of millions of medical workers in China. They give up their family time to answer the call of duty. In the heart of every patient, their hard work shines brighter than festive fireworks. 当职责照耀 对于中国人来说，节日通常意味着暂别工作，与家人欢聚一堂。但对冷文英来说，节日只意味着更多的工作。作为急诊科医生，冷文英错过了许多与亲人共享的家庭聚餐。她在节日期间通常更加忙碌。有时候，她需要连续工作20个小时而没有任何休息。这让她感到疲倦和口渴。“节日对我们来说是个挑战，因为我们的病人通常处于不好的情况下。我们需要时刻待命，”冷文英说道。冷文英的职责意味着她在节日里很少有时间与家人在一起。但她从不后悔选择成为急诊科医生。“我尽量利用每一分钟和家人在一起。我非常感激他们的支持，”她说。冷文英只是中国数百万医务工作者中的一员。他们放弃了与家人共度的时光，响应职责的召唤。在每位病人的心中，他们的辛勤工作比任何节日的烟火都更加耀眼。 知识解析2 1For Chinese people，festivals usually mean a break from work and happy family reunions. 对于中国人来说，节日往往意味着放下工作，享受家庭团聚的欢乐时光。 mean /mi:n/ v.意味着；意思是，表示……的意思 mean作动词的用法： 意味着 mean sth.意味着某事 mean doing sth.意味着做某事 Those clouds mean rain.那些云意味着要下雨。 This new order will mean working overtime.这个新订单意味着要加班加点。 意思是 What does...mean?= What’s the meaning of...?……的意思是什么?
