Public general hospital originated in the almshouse infirmaries established as early as colonial times by local governments to care for the poor. 公立医院源自殖民地时期政府为了救济穷人而建立的救济院中的医务所。
The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. 夕阳反照在救济院的窗上,像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前,积雪同样会在早春融化。
Almshouse \Alms"house`\, n. A house appropriated for the use of the poor; a poorhouse.
