relief

应巴基斯坦政府的要求,中国政府派遣国际救援队赶赴巴基斯坦地震区实施国际人道主义救援。这次救援行动是中国国际救援队继2003年赴阿尔及利亚、伊朗和2004年赴印度尼西亚实施国际救援以来,第四次实施国际救援。中国日报网站的报道如下:

China flew a 49-member rescue team and tons of materials to Pakistan yesterday as a first batch ofreliefto its quake-hit neighbour. The team, headed by CSB Deputy Director Zhao Heping, also carried six search dogs, 8 tons of search equipment and nine tons of relief materials.

文中的relief意思是"救济、救济品",如:relief material(救济物资)、relief work(救济工作)、relief fund(救济资金)等。例如:The local charity organization sent relief to the flood victims.( 当地慈善组织将救济物资运送给遭受水灾灾民。)

此外,Relief常用来指(税,压迫等的)减轻;(痛苦, 烦恼等的)解除。如:to give a patient relief from pain(使病人减轻痛苦。)
