Unit 4 Breaking Boundaries / 打破界限 本单元共收录 3 篇（组）英文语篇。 1. My 100 Days with MSF / 我在无国界医生组织的100天 Today we celebrate. It’s exactly one month since the last reported case. 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. I arrived in Liberia with MSF almost three months ago. When I saw the tragic scenes on the news, I felt it was my duty as a doctor to go there and offer my help. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but I thought, “If I don’t do it, who will?” It is important to remember that Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries. There are no borders for doctors, for patients or for anyone else involved in combating this terrible disease. My mission was to relieve Emma, a Canadian specialist in infectious diseases at the end of her posting. Emma spent an hour with me in the staff room talking me through the daily routine. As she talked, I could hear at least three different languages being spoken at the tables around us. 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. 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. But, although the death rate is very high, we will never give up on a patient, and our efforts do sometimes end in miracles. 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. 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. 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. It is so inspiring to have colleagues like Wilton, Maisy and Alfonso, not to mention all the others I have worked with. 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. 今天，我们举行庆祝活动。距离最后一个病例的报告恰好已经过去一个月。不过，绝不能有丝毫侥幸。因此，来自将近20个国家的20名医护人员——并肩作战的战友——隔空举杯，相互致意。 差不多三个月前，我随无国界医生组织来到利比里亚。看到新闻中的悲惨场景时，我觉得作为医生，自己有责任前往那里提供帮助。我知道这会使自己的生命面临危险，但我想：“如果我不去，谁会去？”必须记住，埃博拉病毒不会尊重国家边界。对于医生、患者以及所有参与抗击这种可怕疾病的人而言，都不存在国界。 我的任务是接替加拿大传染病专家艾玛，完成她任期结束后的工作。艾玛在员工休息室里花了一个小时，向我详细讲解日常工作流程。她说话时，我能听见周围桌边至少有人使用三种不同语言。后来，艾玛把其他为无国界医生工作或与其合作的人介绍给我：威尔顿，一位年轻的当地男子，负责把病情危重者抬进治疗诊所，并为衣物和物体表面消毒；梅西，一位来自澳大利亚达尔文市的退休公共卫生官员，她带领当地志愿者团队向人们宣传如何预防感染；阿方索，一位五十多岁、说话轻声细语的阿根廷医生，此前曾参与塞拉利昂和几内亚的埃博拉疫情防控。这样的人还有很多。我发现，在这群年龄、肤色和信仰各不相同、来自除南极洲之外各大洲的人中，我是唯一的中国医生。每认识一个人，作为这支非凡团队的一员，我心中的自豪感就更加强烈；他们对共同事业的奉献精神，从眼神中便清晰可见。 此后的几个星期里，我已经非常了解这些同事。我们在鲜血、呕吐物和死亡的包围中并肩工作。尽管死亡率很高，我们绝不会放弃任何一名患者；而我们的努力有时确实会创造奇迹。 我刚到不久，一个六口之家被一辆货车送来，所有人都感染了病毒。双胞胎女孩和父母很快去世。我们知道两兄弟生还的希望极其渺茫，却仍竭尽全力救治。第二天早晨查房时，我们惊讶地发现，尽管希望十分渺茫，两个男孩居然都还活着。此后，帕斯卡尔和丹尼尔已经完全康复。这一微小却出人意料的成功，弥补了许多其他不幸病例带来的痛苦。 卷入这样的危机，会在人与人之间建立强有力的纽带——不仅在医护人员与患者之间，也在所有从世界各地赶来、为共同事业团结起来的人之间。能拥有威尔顿、梅西和阿方索这样的同事，当然还有我合作过的所有其他人，实在令人深受鼓舞。 如今，我的任期即将结束。几天后，另一个人会到来接替我，而无国界医生成员在世界70多个国家和地区所开展的不懈工作仍将继续。在这个仍面临诸多问题的世界里，我们所有人开展合作，共同建设一个和平、繁荣、命运与共的全球共同体，绝对至关重要。 2. The Words That Changed a Nation / 改变一个国家的话语 On a grey afternoon on 19 November 1863, a tall, thin man mounted a platform in a field in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and began to speak. The place was the site of a recent battle where thousands of soldiers had died. The man was Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and he was there in memory of the soldiers who had died. The speech he gave was just 268 words long and lasted two minutes. But this address to the crowd changed the minds of his people and helped shape a nation. At that time, America was bitterly divided. For two years, its people had been deep in a civil war between the slave-owning Confederate Southern States and the “free” Northern States of the Union. The worst battle lasted three days and took place at Gettysburg in 1863. The Union side won, but at a great cost. Over 50,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, and people lost hope and purpose. What was all this suffering for? Lincoln understood the feelings of the civilian people. His speech gave them hope, belief and a reason to look to the future. He gave them a new vision of what the United States of America should be, based on the ideals set down by its Founding Fathers 87 years before. It was what the soldiers had died for. Now it was up to the living to remove not only the divisions between North and South, but the boundaries between black and white, and work step by step towards the equality of humankind. F our score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met here on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. 1863年11月19日，一个阴沉的下午，一位高瘦男子登上宾夕法尼亚州葛底斯堡一片田野中的讲台，开始发表演说。这里刚刚经历过一场惨烈战役。人群中，每个人都悲痛万分。他就是亚伯拉罕·林肯——美国总统；他发表的演说日后被称为《葛底斯堡演说》。他的演讲只有268个词，却改变了整个国家。 当时，美国正处于严重分裂之中。两年来，美国人民深陷内战：一方是实行奴隶制的南方邦联各州，另一方是反对奴隶制、主张“自由”的北方各州。双方军队于1863年在葛底斯堡交战。北方联邦军获胜，却付出了惨重代价。超过5万名士兵伤亡，人们失去了希望与目标。这一切苦难究竟为了什么？ 林肯理解普通民众的感受。他的演说给予人们希望、信念，以及面向未来的理由。他依据87年前美国开国元勋确立的理想，为美利坚合众国提出了新的愿景。士兵们正是为此而牺牲。如今，活着的人不仅要消除南北之间的分裂，还要打破黑人与白人之间的界限，一步一步迈向全人类的平等。 八十七年前，我们的先辈在这片大陆上建立了一个新国家。这个国家孕育于自由，并奉行人人生而平等的信念。 如今，我们正卷入一场伟大的内战，以检验这个国家，或任何以同样理念孕育、为同样信念献身的国家，能否长久存在。我们在这场战争的一处伟大战场上集会。我们来到这里，要把其中一部分土地奉献为最终安息之所，安葬那些为使国家得以生存而献出生命的人。这样做完全合情合理。 然而，从更广泛的意义上说，我们不能奉献、不能圣化、也不能使这片土地更加神圣。那些曾在此奋战的勇士，无论生者还是死者，已经使它神圣；这远远超出了我们微薄力量所能增添或减损的程度。世人不会十分注意，也不会长久记得我们今天在这里所说的话，却永远不会忘记他们在这里所做的一切。对我们这些活着的人而言，更应当献身于他们迄今如此崇高地推进、却尚未完成的事业；更应当献身于摆在我们面前的伟大任务——从这些光荣的死者身上汲取更坚定的献身精神，继续他们为之付出全部生命的事业；在这里郑重决心，不让他们白白牺牲；让这个国家获得自由的新生；让这个民有、民治、民享的政府永不从地球上消亡。 3. Writing a Speech: Edgar Snow / 演讲写作：埃德加·斯诺 Hello, everyone. Today, I’m going to introduce Edgar Snow. Edgar Snow was an American journalist who wrote influential books and articles about China in the 1930s. At a time when relatively little was known about our country in the Western world, his 1937 book Red Star over China broke ideological boundaries by telling the stories of the Chinese communist movement from the inside. Although Snow was not the only international journalist to set foot in China during the early decades of the 20th century, what set him apart from the others was that he actually spent time with the Chinese Red Army. He listened to their stories and observed their day-to-day lives, as well as conducting interviews with Mao Zedong and other leaders. His biographical accounts and depictions of historical events, such as the Long March, therefore captured the spirit of the period and the people living through it with unprecedented authenticity. Snow is considered “our American friend”. I admire Snow’s special insight and bravery, risking his life during the war to get to the heart of the story and correct prejudice. For me, Snow’s writing, and in particular Red Star over China, is a must-read for anyone with an interest in that period. 大家好。今天，我要介绍埃德加·斯诺。斯诺是一位美国记者，20世纪30年代撰写了许多关于中国、影响深远的书籍和文章。当时，西方世界对我国的了解相对有限；他于1937年出版的《红星照耀中国》，通过从内部讲述中国共产主义运动的故事，打破了意识形态的界限。 斯诺并不是20世纪初几十年里唯一踏上中国土地的国际记者，但真正使他与众不同的是，他曾亲自与中国红军共同生活。他倾听他们的故事，观察他们的日常生活，还采访了毛泽东和其他领导人。因此，他的传记叙述以及对长征等历史事件的描写，以前所未有的真实性捕捉到了那个时代的精神和身处其中的人们。斯诺被誉为“我们的美国朋友”。 我钦佩斯诺独到的洞察力和勇气。他在战争中冒着生命危险深入事件核心，纠正偏见。对我而言，斯诺的作品，尤其是《红星照耀中国》，是所有对那段历史感兴趣的人都必读的著作。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
