　　 Passage Three

　　 The worldwide Organization of the Red Cross stems from the ideal of Henri Dunant,a Swiss Banker.In 1838,at the age of ten,Dunant was taken by his father to visit a prison.There he saw prisoners chained together exercising in the yard and breaking stones along the road.This experience left a deep impression on him and made him determined to do something for convicts and slaves and for all who were oppressed and deprived of their liberty.【第17題答案位置】On 24th June,1859,while on his way from Geneva to France,Dunant witnessed the battle between the French and Austrian armies.It was one of the fiercest battles of the 19th century.Shocked by the lack of medical supplies and attention given to the wounded,Dunant decided that volunteer services had to be organized.【第18題答案位置】He gathered together a number of women who attended to the hundreds of wounded soldiers of all nationalities and helped the surgeons as best as they could.From that battle Dunant was determined to form a body of people who would rally together in times of war and attend to the needs of the wounded and dying.Dunant held that a suffering human being should be helped for his own sake only and without regard to race,religion,or political beliefs.【第19題答案位置】Many European states supported him and on 22nd August,1864 the first Geneva Convention was signed.This lays down that once a soldier is wounded he and everyone else who comes to his help ceases to be an enemy.A symbol by which the relief workers could be recognized was devised.As a tribute to Switzerland,the symbol was the Swiss flag reversed.That is a red cross on a white ground.So the Red Cross was born.【第20題答案位置】

　　 國際紅十字會組織起源于一位名叫亨利·杜南的瑞士銀行家的理想。1838年,十歲的杜南在父親的帶領下去參觀一所監(jiān)獄。在那里他看到被鎖在一起的囚犯在院子里鍛煉和沿著路邊碎石。這次經(jīng)歷給他留下了極其深刻的印象,并促使他下定決心為罪犯、奴隸以及所有受壓迫并被剝奪了自由的人做些什么。1859年6月24日,在杜南從日內(nèi)瓦到法國的途中,他親眼目睹了法軍和奧地利軍隊間的一場戰(zhàn)斗。這是19世紀最為慘烈的戰(zhàn)斗之一。醫(yī)療用品不足,傷員缺少照顧,這些令杜南很是震驚,他決定組建一支志愿者服務隊。他將照料過數(shù)百名不同國家傷員的多名婦女聚集在一起,讓她們竭盡全力幫助軍醫(yī)。從這場戰(zhàn)斗開始,杜南決心去組織一群人,他們在戰(zhàn)爭時期會被召集在一起去照料傷員和瀕死的戰(zhàn)士。杜南認為任何承受苦難的人都應當?shù)玫秸疹?不管他的種族、宗教和政治信仰如何。他得到了許多歐洲國家的支持。1864年8月22日,最早的《日內(nèi)瓦公約》簽署。它規(guī)定一旦士兵受傷,這名士兵和任何前來幫助他的人員將不再是敵人。另外還設計了識別救護工作人員的標志。為向瑞士致敬,該標志掉轉(zhuǎn)了瑞士國旗的標志。該標志為白底紅十字(而瑞士國旗為紅底白十字)。至此,紅十字會組織誕生了。
