!FElW`F 发生泥石流灾害的甘肃舟曲
[k;\S XDZo 不知为何最近总是噩耗不断,大家知道前天夜里甘肃舟曲县发生了特大泥石流灾难,目前救援工作仍在进行。在此为灾区人民祈祷,祝他们早日度过难关、重振家园!今天我们来学习一下关于“救援”的英语,希望我们每个人都能为舟曲的救援工作献上一份心!
w"cZHm IV\'e} 英语中说到“救援”,用得最多的就是 rescue 这个词。它既可以作动词用,也可作名词,有个常用词组叫 come/go to one's rescue 或者 come/go to the rescue of...,就是表示“援救……”。接下来我们来看几个例句:
%~2YE g|vNhq0|i He made a valiant attempt to rescue the child.
K|hjEQRv F|e1"PkeoA 他勇敢地试着去救那孩子。
#\ X#w<\? O\"3J(y, The rescue is at hand.
xQ^E"Q,1 YW( Qmo7 救援近在咫尺。(at hand 在手边;即将到来)
W;!}#o|%s %R}.#,Suo The police car went in full career to the rescue.
HoRg^Ai?\ )quM4=u' 警车开足马力前去救援。(in full career 全速地)
j)/nKh4O c*L0@Ak% The child who fell into the river would have died if the young man hadn't come to his rescue.
YSTv\y 6sx'S?Qa* 要不是那个青年相救, 落水的孩子早就没命了。
mR?5G:W~R 9NQlI1Wz4 另外,“援救人员”就是 rescuer,“援救队”叫 rescue team,“援救行动”叫 rescue operation 或者 rescue mission。例:
5#+^E{ S/e2P|} Rescuers worked in relays to save the trapped miners.
C(#u[8 %}Ss,XJ 救援人员轮班工作以营救遇难的矿工。(in relays 以轮班方式,轮流地)

/tf5Bv'< !O:y@ 当救援队到达时,我们已经处于灾难的边缘。(on the brink of 濒于,在……的边缘)
hog=ut 8o'_`{ba The rescue operation lasted three days.
:+z4~%
jA "AnC?c9?-^ 救援活动持续了三天。
;h*K }U `Nb[G)Xh 与 rescue 用法非常相似的还有 aid,它也可以同时作名词和动词,同样可以说 come/go to one's aid。例如:
XkXHGDEf 1 T>2[=J8U Soldiers went to the earthquake-striken area at top speed to aid the injured person.
B"TAjB&
* P(,p'I;j 军人火速赶往地震灾区展开救援。(at top speed 火速)

w35J.zn {f2S/$q 最后说一下,first aid 是“急救”的意思,我们每个人都应该掌握一些基本的急救措施,那样也许能在关键时刻拯救一条生命:
xp}hev^@$ 2(u,SQ You should know how to do basic first aid.
G IT>L Jrti
