Doctors Without Borders▼ Help Countries in Crisis 人道救援 —— 無國界醫生
When there is a war, doctors and nurses are needed to help the wounded. When disease breaks out in a poor country, medical workers are needed to give aid to the sick. In addition, natural disasters, such as droughts▼, floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis▼, can be big problems for healthcare services, even in rich countries. However, there never seems to be enough local medical staff to provide help. This is why an organization called Doctors Without Borders was created. Doctors Without Borders was started by a few doctors and journalists▼ in France back in 1971. They were shocked by how many difficulties people had in many developing countries. The organization believed that everyone should be able to receive proper medical care nomatter where they were from. Now it has 30,000 volunteers who work in 60 countries. These include all types of medical professionals▼, engineers▼, and administration▼ staff. In addition to health care, first aid training is also provided to local citizens.

『似乎』怎麼說 本文 "However, there never seems to be enough local medical staff to provide help." 中的 seem 為連綴動詞，表『好像／似乎』，故 seems to V 表『好像／似乎……』，也可以 It seems (that)... 來表示。例：
Jack always seems to know what I'm thinking. （傑克似乎總是知道我在想什麼。）
It seems that few people buy CDs these days. （這個時代似乎很少人買 CD 了。）
