第111个国际护士节：他们是天使，也是战士
2022年5月12日，是第111个国际护士节。1912年，为歌颂南丁格尔在护理领域作出的杰出贡献，特以她的生日5月12日作为“国际护士节”，弘扬救死扶伤、甘于奉献的人道主义精神。
May 12th, 2022 marks the 111th International Nurses Day. In 1912, May 12th, the date of Nightingale’s birth, was designated as the International Nurses Day, in memory of Florence Nightingale’s great contribution to modern nursing. This day also highlights the humanitarian spirits in those who are devoted to saving lives and tending to the wounded.
这个日子对于中国人来说还有另外一层特殊含义——全国防灾减灾日。2008年的这一天发生了汶川地震，5月12日，我们在致敬白衣天使，也在铭记灾难时刻。
International Nurses Day is relevant to the Chinese in another way — it’s China’s National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day. On May 12, 2008, a huge earthquake struck Wenchuan, Sichuan province. Since then, the Chinese not only pay tribute to the nurses on May 12th, but also commemorate the tragedy.
如今，全球疫情肆虐，灾难又一次考验着我们。在疫情最危险的地方，总能看到一群身穿白色铠甲的“战士”们忙碌着——细心观察病患的日常所需，耐心叮嘱病患各种注意事项；用爱心想病患之所想，解病患之所忧；以强大的责任心去处理繁重琐事，传承南丁格尔“提灯女神”的精神。在这场疫情之战中，护士以其专业性发挥着重要的作用——尽管他们似乎常常是在做“小事”，在医院、社区、隔离点、检测点……在人们最需要的时刻，去人们最需要的地方。
As the COVID-19 rages around the world, humanity is faced with yet another disaster. In the most dangerous places, a group of “warriors” in white can always be spotted: The nurses carefully tend to the needs of the patients, they patiently tell the patients what to pay attention to. They think ahead of the patients and relieve their anxiety with a loving heart. They handle miscellaneous tasks with a great sense of responsibility, carrying forward the spirit of “The Lady with the Lamp”. In this battle with the virus, nurses are playing a vital role using their professional knowledge and skills, although people often think they just do “trivial” things. In the hospitals and communities, at quarantine sites and testing sites, they fight their battle where they are most needed, when people need them most.
中国2022年护士节的主题是“关爱护士队伍，护佑人民健康”。平日里我们习惯了护士的存在，甚至偶有不解与埋怨，而在灾祸与危难面前，我们则更能体会到护士的可敬与可爱。节日快乐，白衣天使、白衣战士！
The theme for the 2022 Nurses Day in China is “caring for the nurses and protecting life and health”. On ordinary days, we seem to take what the nurses do for granted; sometimes we may even have misunderstandings and complaints. But when faced with disasters and danger, we find the nurses respectable and adorable more than ever. Happy Nurses Day! Salute to all the warriors in white, all the angles in white!
