Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders in English, was founded in Paris in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists. It is an independent, non-profit organisation whose mission is to provide medical care to those affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters or a lack of access to health care. It assists people based on need, regardless of which country they are from. The top priority goes to those in the most serious and immediate danger. Today, MSF has over 67,000 team members from over 150 countries and regions.
无国界医生组织(MSF),英文简称Doctors Without Borders,1971年由一群医生和记者在巴黎成立。它是一个独立的非营利组织,其使命是为受冲突、流行病、灾难或缺乏医疗服务影响的人提供医疗服务。它根据需要帮助人们,无论他们来自哪个国家。当务之急是那些处于最严重和最直接危险中的人。如今,无国界医生组织拥有来自150多个国家和地区的67000多名团队成员。

My 100 Days With MSF
Today we celebrate. It’s exactly one month since the last reported case. But it is vital not to take any chance. So. 20 health care workers from almost as many countries, comrades in arms, raise virtual glasses to each other.
今天我们庆祝。距离上次报告的病例已经整整一个月了。但至关重要的是不要冒险。因此,来自几乎同样多国家的20名医护人员,战友们,互相举起虚拟眼镜。

What is the style of this passage
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 know 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.
大约三个月前,我随无国界医生抵达利比里亚。当我在新闻上看到悲惨的场面时,我觉得作为一名医生,去那里提供帮助是我的职责。我知道我把自己的生命置于危险之中,但我想,“如果我不这样做,谁会这样做?”重要的是要记住,埃博拉病毒不尊重国界。医生、病人或任何参与抗击这种可怕疾病的人都没有国界。
He felt it was his duty to go there and offer his help.
1.How did the writer find working in Liberia to fight against Ebola
2. How did the author decide to go to Liberia with MSF
Life threatening.
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 staffroom 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 soft spoken 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.
我的任务是在任职结束时接替加拿大传染病专家Emma。Emma花了一个小时在员工室陪我,跟我谈日常生活。当她说话的时候,我能听到我们周围的桌子上至少有三种不同的语言在说。后来,Emma把我介绍给了其他一些为无国界医生工作或与无国界医生一起工作的人:威尔顿,一个年轻的当地人,他帮助把重病患者送到治疗诊所,并对衣服和表面进行消毒;Maisy是一名来自澳大利亚达尔文的退休公共卫生官员,他的当地志愿者团队教育人们预防感染;阿方索是一位说话温和的阿根廷医生,50多岁,之前曾在塞拉利昂和几内亚处理埃博拉疫情。名单还在继续,我发现我是所有年龄、肤色和信仰的人中唯一的中国医生,他们来自除南极洲以外的所有大陆。与我遇到的每一个人在一起,作为这个非凡团队的一员,我都感到越来越自豪,他们对事业的奉献从他们的眼中闪耀出来。
In the few weeks since then, I’ve 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 efforts do sometimes end in miracles.
从那以后的几周里,我开始非常了解这些人。我们一起工作,被鲜血、呕吐物和死亡包围。但是,尽管死亡率很高,但我们永远不会放弃一个病人,努力有时会以奇迹告终。
What’s the author’s attitude to the high death rate
Determined.
In the few weeks since then, I’ve 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 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 a 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.
我刚到,一家六口就被一辆面包车带到了这里。他们都被感染了。这对双胞胎女孩和她们的父母很快就去世了。我们知道兄弟俩还有一点希望,但我们尽了一切努力来拯救他们。第二天早上,当我们参观病房时,我们惊讶地发现,尽管困难重重,两个男孩都还活着。帕斯卡和丹尼尔已经完全康复。这一微小但出乎意料的成功弥补了许多其他不幸的案例。
compensate 补偿
fortunate 幸运的
odd 可能性; 概率
against all odds
尽管凶多吉少
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.
陷入这样的危机在人们之间建立了强大的纽带,不仅在护理人员和患者之间,而且在所有来自世界各地并为共同事业团结在一起的人之间。有威尔顿、梅西和阿方索这样的同事真是太鼓舞人心了,更不用说和我共事过的所有其他人了。
What is your understanding of the first sentence
when facing a crisis, human beings are expected to break geographical boundaries to solve it.
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.
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 to collaborate to create a global community with a shared future of peace and prosperity.
现在我的时间快到了。再过几天,就会有其他人接替我的位置,无国界医生组织成员在全球70多个国家和地区所做的不懈努力也将继续下去。在一个仍然面临如此多问题的世界上,我们合作创建一个和平与繁荣的命运共同体是绝对必要的。
