Doctors Without Borders Help Countries in Crisis   人道救援 —— 無國界醫生



  When there is a war, doctors and nurses are needed to help the wounded. When disease breaks out in a poor country, medical workers are needed to give aid to the sick. In addition, natural disasters, such as droughts, floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis, can be big problems for healthcare services, even in rich countries. However, there never seems to be enough local medical staff to provide help. This is why an organization called Doctors Without Borders was created.
  Doctors Without Borders was started by a few doctors and journalists in France back in 1971. They were shocked by how many difficulties people had in many developing countries. The organization believed that everyone should be able to receive proper medical care no matter where they were from. Now it has 30,000 volunteers who work in 60 countries. These include all types of medical professionals, engineers, and administration staff. In addition to health care, first aid training is also provided to local citizens.


























 

  戰爭發生時,需要醫生和護士來幫助傷患。貧窮國家有疾病爆發時,需要醫療人員來為病人提供援助。此外,像旱災、水災、地震及海嘯這些天然災難可能會對醫療保健服務造成很大的問題,即使在富裕的國家也是如此。然而,地方上似乎從來都沒有足夠的醫務人員能提供協助。這就是為什麼一個名為無國界醫生的組織被創立的原因。
  無國界醫生是由法國的一些醫生和新聞工作者於 1971 年所創辦的。他們對許多開發中國家的人民所遇到的困境感到震驚。該組織認為每個人都該受到適當的醫療照護,不論他們來自何處。該組織現在有三萬名志工在六十個國家工作。這些人包含了各種醫療專業人士、工程師及行政人員。除了醫療照護之外,也會提供當地居民急救訓練。

『似乎』怎麼說
本文 "However, there never seems to be enough local medical staff to provide help." 中的 seem 為連綴動詞,表『好像/似乎』,故 seems to V 表『好像/似乎……』,也可以 It seems (that)... 來表示。例:

Jack always seems to know what I'm thinking.
(傑克似乎總是知道我在想什麼。)

It seems that few people buy CDs these days.
(這個時代似乎很少人買 CD 了。)
