The program was designed to encourage medical students like yourselves toconsider careers in rural communities that are still understaffed.

【听力精解】
1. hands-on experience 亲身经历的意思,hands on 一个形容词,很形象的表示上手的。这里关于手的短语大家可以积累一下,例如:green hand 新手,生手,没有经验的人hand in hand 手拉手,hand over,移交,转移 最后来个句子:My hands are clean. 大家想想可以翻译成什么呢? 我的手是干净的\我是无辜的,清白的。总之,英语的表达会很形象。
2. dean 这个词很多人没有翻译出来,这个词可以是校长,院长,主任等多种意思,在这里,既然说到了是医学院,那么推测下翻译成院长最为合适。大家自行总结职称类词汇:书记,班主任之类,这里不细说。一定养成brainstorming 的学习习惯!
3. If you enroll in this program, you can have the opportunity this summer,after your first year of medical school, to spend from four to six weeksobserving and assisting a real physician like me in a small rural community. 这一整句话里有几点需要细说。首先:enroll 这个词经常出现在新生报到注册这类话题,表示入学,加入的意思。enroll in 这个词组的意思就是:成为。。。的一员。接着:to spend from four to six weeks observingand assisting a real physician like me in a small rural community. 这半句中likeme 是对于areal physician 的修饰还是have the opportunity this summer 的修饰颇有歧义。 如果说是前者,那么说明这个人现在已经是医生,不再实习,因为通篇有关他的实习经历全部是过去式。如果是后者,那么意思就变成像我一样协助医生实习。 由于只有音频,无从从人物的肢体语言以及表情判断一个不严谨的口语化的句子,所以这里两种翻译我认为都不影响文章的理解。在此欢迎大家和我讨论。
4. understaffed 从构词法角度讲,这个词是很好猜出其意思的,staff是职工的意思,动词讲是配备职工。那么加上前缀under,这个词的意思就是还没有配备职工的,即:人员不足的 那么与之相对的:overstaffed 是什么意思? 人浮于事的, 人员过多的
5. on the up-side 相反的 等同于onthe contrary,很多童鞋在这里译成:另一方面,那是on the other hand...多多积累!
努力!
【参考译文】
它似乎像昨天我坐在你身在何处,刚刚完成我的医学院的第一年,不知道如果我曾经有机会使用我所有的新知识,活在一个真正的病人!好吧,我有一个好消息你!你不必等待,直到你的第三或第四医学院今年获得一些实践经验!院长邀请我到这里来告诉你有关大学的农村机会方案。如果你在参加这项计划,你可以有机会在今年夏天之后,您的医疗学校的第一年,花四到六周的观察和协助真正像我这样的一个小乡村社区医师。你不会有竞争,与其他学生的时间和精力,作为一名乡村医生是真的很喜欢,你可以看到什么生活。该计划旨在鼓励医疗像你们一样的学生考虑在农村社区仍然人员不足的职业。这似乎,医科学生害怕到农村家庭的做法,原因有两个。首先,他们不知道它。第二,在城市的专家,通常赚更多的钱。但是,在上侧,在农村的实践,医生才能真正了解他们的病人和社会的尊敬的成员。当它第一次在一个乡村小镇,花了六个星期,我参加了该方案。让我告诉你,这是真的很棒!我的工作与真正的病人。我看着孩子出生,协助事故受害者,并有很多真正的实际操作经验---在一个夏天。出乎我的意料,我发现这个国家生活有很多提供城市生活的不---没有污染或交通堵塞,例如我的经验,我想工作的地方,我需要和赞赏。我不要错过在所有的城市!
