参考译文

医生无国界 克里斯并不是传统意义上的探险者——他经常在办公室为一家大型机构工作。然而，克里斯的工作就像探险者那样既刺激又惊险。

克里斯为MSF（法语Medecins Sans Frontieres的缩写 ）工作，这是一家名为“医生无国界”的组织。自1971年始，MSF就派遣训练有素的医生前往世界各地，去帮助那些正在遭受战争、疾病之类灾难的人们。克里斯是一名来自法国的医生，他去过很多地方，组织帮助当地人的活动。

那时已有27000多名训练有素的医生加入MSF项目中。该组织于1999年荣获诺贝尔和平奖。各种类型的医生都可以志愿为MSF工作。他们必须做好奔赴世界各地的准备，当然，他们也会碰到困难。MSF的大多数工作都在非洲。当MSF选派一名医生去完成任务时，他们至少得工作6个月。当医生完成一些工作后，他们可能被委派去执行地震等灾后紧急救援的任务。

但这些医生为什么会抛弃舒适的生活和不错的薪水加入MSF呢？按照克里斯的说法，他们体验的这段经历对自己的人生有很大帮助。而且，和过去的探险家一样，他们必须保持开阔的思维，学会和遇到的人友好相处。在结束任务时，他们可以说，他们对人们的生活产生了真正的影响。
