23、entific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better,which means clown doctors can be helpful.We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as“hospital clowning”.I chose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid.Alt

24、hough the doctors and nurses did a great job,hospitals werent really designed for children.I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened and more than a little bored!Being a clown doctor means I can help people by entertaining them.科学研究表明,欢笑能产生使人心情变好的化学物质,这就意味着小丑医生能帮到患者。我们是受过专门培训的小丑,是

25、“医院小丑”项目的成员。我选择这个职业,是由于我自己小时候去医院的经历。尽管当时医生和护士都尽职尽责,但医院实在不是个适合孩子们待的地方。我在那里度过的大部分时间要么觉得害怕,要么感到非常无聊!而成为小丑医生意味着我可以通过让人们快乐的方式来帮助他们。Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities,we clown doctors work to-gether with medical professionals.On a typical day,we spend our time patients,their families,and

27、tient.我们小丑医生和专业医疗人员一起工作,要走访医院和其他的医疗保健机构。我们一天的工作内容通常是为病人、病人家属,甚至是医院的工作人员带来欢乐!为此,我们会变魔术、唱歌、讲故事,当然还会讲一些滑稽的笑话。不过,有些孩子并不想笑,尤其是在他们感到疼痛的时候。所以我们必须非常善解人意,并且与医护人员密切合作,他们会为我们提供每个病人的最新情况。cheering upwork closely with .While the doctor concentrates on examining Laras ankle,I get her attention by doing a magic tri

29、拉的脚踝时,我用魔术来吸引劳拉的注意力。看得出,尽管她仍然有些痛苦,但她恐惧和焦虑的表情已经不见了:先是一个小小的微笑,接着变成了大笑因为我“魔术般地”从我的口袋里变出了她的一只袜子。看到女儿破涕为笑,劳拉的父母也松了一口气。And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trickDo/does/did+V原=强调句动名词短语做主语And as for me?Well,when I take off my wig and my red nose,Im still wearing a big smile,as I remember all th

30、e fun and laughter of the day.While there might be more hospital visits ahead for Lara and others,I hope that clown doctors help make it a friendlier place to visit.After all,it really is true that“laughter is the best medicine”.至于 我呢?当我摘下 假发和红鼻子的时候,我脸上仍然带着大大的微笑,因为我记得这天所有的乐趣和欢笑。也许将来,对于劳拉或者其他人来说,他们还有更多到医院就诊的需要,但我希望,小丑医生能够帮助医院成为一个更温暖友善的就诊场所。毕竟,“欢笑是最佳灵药”,这句话是千真万确的。
