I E,/nK 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:
QwnqysNx4 2\"T& He made a valiant attempt to rescue the child.
=Nz;R2{@ S:cd'68D 他勇敢地试着去救那孩子。
S;u2B_/ G1SOvdq The rescue is at hand.
TOx@Y$_9Q8 4=njM`8Y' 救援近在咫尺。(at hand 在手边;即将到来)
P(p|NRD@1 Nm#[ A4 The police car went in full career to the rescue.
\XbCJJP }?6gj%$c 警车开足马力前去救援。(in full career 全速地)
m-9ChF:U ZQsVSz( 1 The child who fell into the river would have died if the young man hadn't come to his rescue.
Bl+PJ
0 m*14n_m' 要不是那个青年相救, 落水的孩子早就没命了。
f5*hOzKG6 -S%Uw 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:
.aC/ g?U 7Y
4! Rescuers worked in relays to save the trapped miners.
AD7&-=p&w 0>3Sn\gZ( 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)
F ^)(
7}ph ,/eAns`ZU We were on the brink of disaster when the rescue team arrived.
cZ,}1?! Cv<
s| 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)
`Js"*[z 1Uc/r>u9 The rescue operation lasted three days.
SM.KM_%K :>3?|Z"Aj 救援活动持续了三天。
ZkF6AF \
Ju7.3. 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:
PSU}fo Bf$`Hf6 Soldiers went to the earthquake-striken area at top speed to aid the injured person.
N3\vd_D( T=[/x= 军人火速赶往地震灾区展开救援。(at top speed 火速)
u y13SkW nR,QqIFFw The United Nations on Tuesday issued an urgent appeal for emergency aid to Haiti.
}Rq{9j,% (J.U{N v 周二联合国发表了声明,呼吁(各方)对海地进行紧急援救。
Sj<]~*y" b%xG^jUXsX The rescuers came to his aid in time.
}u;`k'J@ GjX6noqT 救援者及时赶来给予他救助。
cJ'OqV F #?DoP]1Y 最后说一下,first aid 是“急救”的意思,我们每个人都应该掌握一些基本的急救措施,那样也许能在关键时刻拯救一条生命:
($,qxPOn N@I=X-7nh| You should know how to do basic first aid.
CS;4 ysNf 5M#LO@U 你应该懂得如何实施基本的急救。
