A Tale of Two Donors: Cash-Strapped Ireland Outshines Germany in Humanitarian Aid

Humanitarian Response Index ranks countries by how effective their aid donations are rather than simply listing countries by how much total money they give each year.

------------------
人道主義回應指標不是單純地按照一個國家每年捐款的多寡，而是其如何有效提供救援。
1.aid必考單字，救援 foreign aid 外交援助。常見相關單字aide/helper,出現在政治新聞的助手。像金小刀 就是 King Pu-tsung is the closest aide of President Ma.
2.Humanitarian人道主義

A Tale of Two Donors: Cash-Strapped Ireland Outshines German⋯⋯y in Humanitarian Aid
A recently released study shows that when it comes to humanitarian-aid donors, bigger isn't always better

------------------
1.A Tale of Two Donors, 這個標題是仿照狄更斯雙城記,A Tale of Two Cities.
Time magazine很喜歡用這個模仿的標題。以前我們也上過海地的地震時，也是用 (Chile and Haiti: A Tale of Two Earthquakes)，用來對照兩邊。
2.Cash-Strapped 現金匱乏的
3.outshine, 更亮眼，這裡指得是比德國更亮眼。
4.bigger isn't always better 不是越大就越好。實用的句子不妨背下來。可以平行造句。
