抓双线,理文脉
本文是一篇日记文体的记叙文。此类文章中通常包含明暗两条线,明线一般指时间线,暗线指感情线,通过抓双线可以快速梳理文章脉络。如本文以作者作为无国界医生奋战100天的经历为时间线,以第一人称视角描写了无国界医生的工作内容、工作环境以及作者的感受,展现了无国界医生无私的奉献精神。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.It's exactly one month since the last reported case.
赏析:本句中使用副词exactly修饰one month,强调了已有整整一个月未再出现新增病例,表达了形势正在好转,流露出作者心中的欢欣鼓舞之情。
2.I knew I was putting my life at risk, but I thought, “If I don't do it, who will?”
赏析:本句中的putting ...at risk用词精妙,衬托出了作者的勇敢无畏和无私奉献精神。
3.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.
赏析:本句中的shone from their eyes通过眼神描写彰显了人物的内心世界和坚定的信仰,赞扬了志愿者们无私奉献的精神。
4.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.
赏析:前半句中使用副词absolutely,强调了团结协作的必要性;后半句中的global,shared则强调了人类未来的世界是共享和平与繁荣的“地球村”。

①What you did is exactly to put_your_life_at_risk.

②From the photos, we could see that the_desire_for_a_beautiful_future_shines_from_their_
eyes.

③To create a shared future, it_is_absolutely_essential_for_us_to_learn_from_each_other_
and_help_each_other.
为了创造一个共享未来,我们完全有必要互相学习、互相帮助。
(二)赏句式之高
1.There are no borders for doctors, for patients or for anyone else involved in combating this terrible disease.
赏析:本句中的involved in作后置定语修饰前面的名词anyone else,相当于定语从句who is involved in ...。分词的使用既简化了句式,又体现了表达的灵活多样。
2.As she talked, I could hear at least three different languages being spoken at the tables around us.
赏析:本句中的hear at least three different languages being spoken是hear sth.being done结构,表示听到某事正在被做,即听到的时候这件事情正在发生。生动呈现了来自不同国家的医生们一起工作忙碌的场景。

①It is very important to organise various activities for young people involved_in_
volunteer_work.

②I heard an_English_song_being_sung when I passed by.

(三)赏衔接之顺
1.But it is vital not to take any chances.So, 20 health care workers from almost as many countries, comrades in arms, raise virtual glasses to each other.
赏析:此处先用连词but与上文形成转折关系,指出形式虽然向好,但仍然不能掉以轻心;然后用因果连词so说明在这种情况下,大家只能假装举杯,互相庆祝。
2.It is so inspiring to have colleagues like Wilton, Maisy and Alfonso, not to mention all the others I have worked with.
赏析:前半句先指出威尔顿、迈西和阿方索这样的同事已经令作者倍感鼓舞,接着not to mention进一步强调:更别提其他所有和我们一起共事的人了。语气逐层加深,传达了作者内心强烈的感情和对一起工作的这些MSF(无国界医生)成员的深深敬意。

(四)赏描摹之韵(人物描写)
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 soft-spoken Argentinian doctor in his 50s, who had previously worked on Ebola outbreaks in Sierra Leone and Guinea.
赏析:此处使用了“同位语+定语从句”的结构介绍了三位无国界医生。同位语部分主要描写人物的国籍、年龄和职业,定语从句部分主要描写人物的工作性质及贡献。语言高度凝练,简明扼要地介绍了人物的基本信息,同时彰显了这些志愿者的勇敢和无私奉献的精神品格。
我们都在电视上看到过中国人在世界各地帮助其他国家的情景:中国工人在刚果修建公路,在巴基斯坦修建港口,在巴拿马修建铁路,在斯里兰卡修建机场。中国的矿工、石油工人、农业专家、机械师和医生等在世界的每个角落忙碌着。有些人可能会问:“这值得吗?”无论以何种标准衡量,这项工作对我们来说都是值得的,因为这表明我们是关心世界稳定与发展的全球公民,我们对他国负有责任并准备好要建设人类命运共同体。
My mother is a medical doctor, and for the last two years, she has been working as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania, Africa, as a part of a medical team sent by the Chinese government.
To be honest, when my mother first left for Africa, I was upset.You see, my mother cooked me dinner every night, and she took good care of me.But more importantly, she was my best friend.We talked together, we spent our leisure time together, and except for school and work, we were never apart.So I was unhappy about her leaving without even asking for my input.
But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in Tanzania, a country that has many health problems, and now I am singing a different tune.Many dangerous diseases which are rare in China are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania.And while the country is quite beautiful and has much natural wealth, many people are quite poor and live without things we take for granted, such as electricity, running water, cars and good transport systems, and supermarkets.One project that my mother worked on was helping to build a cardiac hospital.Prior to this, if a Tanzanian had a heart condition and needed surgery, they would have to go abroad.Since this was quite expensive, many people went without medical treatment and some even died.Now,
helped by the hospital, but people in neighbouring countries are helped as well. It has made a big difference to their lives.My mother also does a circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment, help those with disabilities, and provide consultation and training for local doctors.In addition, her team has given patients new malaria treatment capsules invented in China and this has saved many lives.
Today, I want to relay to you that I'm proud of the work my mother has done and I am now supportive of it.Is her work worth it? Yes, to the lives of the people she is helping, it is worth it.But by any criteria this work is worth it to us as well, because it shows that we are global citizens interested in world stability, and that we feel responsible for others and are ready to build a community with a shared future for mankind.Everyone deserves a fair chance in life. comes at the top of this list. Now that I understand how important my mother's work is, I've decided to become a volunteer myself to help people in other lands.In the future, I pray that you will do the same.
