badge⑥“Doctor Larry LaughOutLoud”. I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there's a familiar atmosphere⑦ of boredom⑧ and tension⑨ [2]. People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs,looking through⑩old magazines,all of which have been read hundreds of⑪ times previously ⑫.[3] Anxious parents do what they can to comfort⑬ nervous and crying children.

Although it's the doctors and nurses who will treather injury,it's my job to make her feel better .[7]
[5]whose ankle is twice its normal size 是 whose 引导的定语从句,修饰a small girl;twice its normal size 是倍数表达法。
[6]who 引导非限制性定语从句,补充说明 the onduty nurse;that引导宾语从句,作 tells 的直接宾语;after 引导时间状语从句。
[7]although it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury 是 although 引导的让步状语从句;从句使用了it is...who...强调句型,who可用 that替代。主句it's my job to make her feel better中,it 作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式。
Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better,which means clown doctors can be helpful.[8] We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning” .[9]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 job, hospitals weren't really designed for children .I spent much of the time when was there feeling frightened and more than a little bored! Being a clown doctor means [10]I can help people by entertaining them.
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,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用娱乐人们的方式帮助他们。

Visiting hospitals and other health carefacilities , [11]we clown doctors work together with medical professionals. 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 .[12]
[11]现在分词短语 visiting hospitals and other health care facilities作时间状语。
[12]who keep us updated on each patient是 who 引导的非限制性定语从句,补充说明 the doctors and nurses;其中keep us updated 是“keep+宾语+done”结构。
And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick.While the doctor concentrates on examining Lara's ankle ,[13]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 [14]has in turn made Lara's parents more relaxed.
[13]while the doctor concentrates on是while 引导的时间状语从句。
[14]动名词短语seeing their daughter so much happier作主语。
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. While there might be more hospital visits ahead for Lara and others, [15]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”.[16]
[15]while there might be more hospital visits是while引导让步状语从句,while 意为“虽然, 尽管”。
[16]在it really is true that...中,it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的 that 从句。
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。
而我呢? 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。
