3月25日,由14名中国专家组成的中国第三批赴意大利抗疫医疗专家组奔赴意大利。专家组还随行携带了呼吸机、监护仪等当地急需的医疗救治物资。

中国对意大利的医疗援助，让东方航空江苏公司一位意大利籍机长十分感动。他专门录制了一段视频表达自己的感激之情。

On March 25, China sent its third batch of medical expert team to Italy to help the country fight against the COVID-19. The 14-member expert team also brought valuable medical supplies including ventilators and patient monitors.

China’s aid moved Mauro Benvenuto, a captain of China Eastern Airlines. He sent us a video to express his gratitude for China’s support in Italy’s fight against the COVID-19.

这位机长名叫毛罗·本韦努托（Mauro Benvenuto），来自意大利罗马市。2014年，他来到江苏南京，成为中国东方航空江苏有限公司的一名机长。

Mauro Benvenuto from Italy’s Rome came to Jiangsu in 2014. He is now a captain of China Eastern Airlines.

“中国对意大利的帮助超越了一切政治和文化差异，犹如亲兄弟一般，互相帮助。”毛罗在视频中说道。

“This shows a great sense of brotherhood and solidarity that goes beyond any political and cultural barriers,” said him.

疫情期间，毛罗在南京就积极配合当地的防疫宣传。2月10日他回到意大利后，毛罗把自己在南京学到的防疫经验告诉身边的每一个人。“在这里，大家都称这是‘武汉模式’。我跟家人朋友都积极响应号召。大家都不出门，我相信最终会战胜疫情”，他接受媒体采访时表示，“医疗队一来我就更安心更暖心了。事实上，只有中国这个老朋友在帮我们。等着疫情好转，我就可以回南京工作了。”

During his stay in Nanjing, he had followed the instructions of local authorities and had stayed indoors as much as possible. He returned to Italy and has been teaching his families and friends in Italy the protective measures he learned from China.

“In here, we call it ‘Wuhan Model’,” he told us. “Me and my families have followed the government’s instructions. We all stay indoors. I believe we will win the battle against the virus.”

“The expert team warmed my heart,” he said. “In fact, only our old friend China is helping us. I will wait for the day when the pandemic is over. Then, I can go back to Nanjing to work,” said him.

疫情之下，意大利的医疗条件正在接受严峻考验。

在意大利暴发新型冠状肺炎疫情后，中国是第一个向意大利提供医疗物资并派遣医疗专家的国家。在派出第三支援助组之前，中国已先后派出两批医疗专家组共计22人，携数十吨医疗物资赴意大利开展疫情防控工作。而这些物资运输任务，全部由东方航空公司承担。作为东航的一员，毛罗感到十分自豪。

China is the first country to send experts and medical supplies to Italy. Before the 3rd batch of medical aid, China had sent 22 experts and tons of medical supplies to Italy in two batches. They are all carried by China Eastern Airlines. As a member of China Eastern Airlines, Mauro Benvenuto is very proud.

除了毛罗，在意大利，还有更多当地民众感受到了中国的鼎力相助：“谢谢中国”“谢谢你们所做的一切”……社交网络上，他们向中国表达了真挚的谢意。

Many Italians, including Mauro Benvenuto, have felt the concrete help from China. “Grazie China! Grazie di tutto!” They expressed their gratitude on social media.

意大利网友在社交网站上刷屏回复感谢中国

此次对外抗疫援助，是新中国成立以来援助时间最集中、涉及范围最广的一次紧急人道主义行动。向意大利等近百个国家和地区提供帮助，不仅有利于国际社会共同抗击疫情，也将有助于降低我国境外输入的风险，巩固前一阶段来之不易的抗疫成果。 这场战疫的“硬仗”，中国一刻也未松懈。

To fight the COVID-19 pandemic, China has sent medical aid to almost 100 countries and regions around the world, including Italy. China is fighting together with the world!
