The Saint Lukas train doesn’t accept passengers — it accepts only the sick. The Saint Lukas is one of five government-sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia. Each stop lasts an average of two days, and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural (乡村) populations with basic medical care, X-ray scans and prescriptions.
圣卢卡斯火车不收乘客，只收病人。圣卢卡斯号是前往俄罗斯中部和东部偏远城镇的五列政府资助的医疗列车之一。每次停留平均持续两天，在此期间，车上的医生和护士为农村人口提供基本的医疗保健、X射线扫描和处方。
“People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning,” says Emile Ducke, a German photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two-week trip in November through the vast regions (区域) of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia.
德国摄影师Emile Duke于11月与圣卢卡斯火车的工作人员一起在克拉斯诺亚尔斯克和哈卡斯的广大地区进行了为期两周的旅行，她说：“人们一大早就开始排队预约。”
Russia’s public health care service has been in serious need of modernization. The government has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem, particularly in the poorer, rural areas east of the Volga River, including arranging doctor’s appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.
俄罗斯的公共卫生保健服务急需现代化。政府一直在努力制定解决这一问题的措施，特别是在伏尔加河以东较贫穷的农村地区，包括通过视频聊天安排医生预约，并扩大财政援助计划，以激励医生在克拉斯诺亚尔斯克等偏远地区行医。
The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation. For 10 months every year, the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks, before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock (补给). Then it starts all over again the next month. Most stations wait about a year between visits.
每年一次的圣卢卡斯火车的到来是改善局势的又一次尝试。每年有10个月，列车在两周内停靠约8个车站，然后返回该地区首府加油和补充库存。然后在下个月重新开始。大多数站在两次访问之间等待大约一年。
