[单项选择]Until late in the eighteenth century a soldier wounded in battle was likely to lie where he fell until nightfall or until the battle was over. Even then his chance of seeing a doctor was little unless other soldiers carried him to the back. Doctors did not usually reach the battlefield until the day after the battle.

It was equipped with hospital supplies and moved behind the battle lines to pick up and carry the wounded to hospitals. In French, it was called a hospital ambulant, or "travelling hospital". The second word came from the Latin word "ambulo", which means "travellers". In England the name was shortened to our present word "ambulance".

[单项选择]In the eighteenth century, Japan’s feudal overlords, from the shogun to the humblest samurai, found themselves under financial stress. In part, this stress can be attributed to the overlords’ failure to adjust to a rapidly expanding economy, but the stress was also due to factors beyond the overlords’ control. Concentration of the samurai in castle towns had acted as a stimulus to nude. Commercial efficiency, in turn, had put temptations in the way of buyers.
