    「ambulance」就是「救護車」——專門把生病或受傷的人送去醫院的車子，車裡有床，也有會照顧人的工作人員。它是可數名詞，所以要說 an ambulance、two ambulances。可以想成 ambulance 就像一間「會移動的急救室」：照顧的人先開車到你身邊，路上就開始幫你，再把你載去醫院。

core核心畫面

You can picture a small hospital room on wheels: a bed fixed to the floor, equipment on the walls, trained workers beside the person, and the whole thing racing through traffic with its lights on. The point of the picture is that care starts the moment the doors close — it is not just a car that carries a sick person, it is a place where they are already being looked after on the way.

可以想成一間裝了輪子的小病房：床固定在地板上，器材掛在牆邊，受過訓練的人跪在傷病者旁邊，整台車閃著燈在車陣裡穿過去。這個畫面的重點在於——門一關上，照顧就已經開始了。它不只是「載病人的車」，而是一個在路上就已經在救人的空間。
