In the podcast Awake at Night, Melissa Fleming, the chief spokesperson for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), explores what it takes to be a humanitarian worker in some of the world’s most difficult and dangerous situations.
聯(lián)合國(guó)難民事務(wù)高級(jí)專員公署首席發(fā)言人梅麗莎·弗萊明在《夜不能寐》播客中探討了在世界最困難且最危險(xiǎn)的情況下如何成為一名人道主義工作者。
The stories are heartbreaking and harrowing and utterly fascinating. Humanitarian aid workers have to be incredibly mentally tough to spend every day trying to make the world a little better for people facing their darkest hours.
這些故事令人傷心難過(guò),卻極具吸引力。人道主義救援人員必須有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志,為了那些身處黑暗時(shí)刻的人們,每天都努力讓世界變得更好。
While most aid workers are happy to help disaster victims, refugees, displaced persons, and families find a path forward, it’s tough work. PTSD, anxiety, and stress-related illnesses are all well-known side effects of humanitarian work.
雖然大多數(shù)救援人員都樂(lè)于幫助災(zāi)民、難民、流離失所之人和家庭找出前進(jìn)的道路,但這卻是一項(xiàng)艱巨的工作。眾所周知,創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙、焦慮以及與壓力有關(guān)的疾病都是人道主義工作的副作用。
Now aid workers are getting a little help to take care of themselves.
現(xiàn)在救援人員獲得了一些幫助來(lái)照顧自己。
