土耳其、敘利亞發生規模7.8級大地震,數千棟建築物倒塌。台灣在第一時間派遣130人搜救隊搶救瓦礫中的倖存者。這群搜救英雄在撤離災區前,將搜救器材捐給土國搜救協會。當年台灣921地震時,土耳其曾派隊來台協助,人道精神的光輝,跨越距離與國界,持續照耀。
【精選範文】
Members of the two search and rescue teams dispatched by Taiwan's government to Turkey have returned home on a special charter flight. Both teams donated supplies to Turkey's AKUT Search and Rescue Association before leaving the disaster zone.(由台灣政府派遣赴土耳其的兩支搜救隊成員,已搭包機返國。撤離災區前,他們將搜救器材捐給土國搜救協會。)
【關鍵單字】
to dispatch 發送;派遣
"dispatch"與"send"同義,但用法較為正式,用於派遣人員或發送物品,後面接to。
例句》A reporter was dispatched to Paris to cover the riot.(一名記者被派往巴黎報導這場暴動。)
"dispatch"在字義「發送」的概念下,衍生出「新聞報導」的意涵,例如2021年的電影《The French Dispatch》,譯作《法蘭西特派週報》。
例句》They are reading these dispatches from the war zone.(他們正在閱讀這些從戰地發來的報導。)
to donate 捐獻;捐贈
網路用語「贊助給直播主」的「斗內」即為此字。除了捐贈金錢與物品,捐血亦可用donate。
例句》The names of the people who volunteer to donate their blood will be listed here.(自願捐血者的大名將列在此處。)
"donate"與"contribute"字義接近,但donate是實質且不求回報的捐贈,而contribute除「捐贈」外,還可指「貢獻(心力);投(稿)」。
例句》New immigrants have contributed greatly to Taiwanese culture in many ways.(新住民在許多方面都對台灣文化貢獻良多。)
