身體不適看醫(yī)生

Carl visits the doctor and goes through a checkup. The doctor tells him there doesn't seem to be anything seriously wrong， but he may have caught a touch of the flu. He also seems to be somewhat tired. The doctor writes a prescription for some medicine. Will this make Carl feel better?

Doctor:Come in， please. I'm Dr. Evans.

Carl:I'm Carl Mathews.

Doctor: Have a seat. What seems to be the problem?

Carl:I've lost a little weight recently， and I don't seem to have as much energy. My head and stomach were killing me yesterday. I might have had a fever， and I thought I ate something bad because I had the runs.

Doctor:(checking Carl's file) Everything was fine your last checkup 3 months ago. Are you eating OK? Do you bring anything up?

Carl:I'm eating fine， more or less. Last night， I thought I was going to vomit.

Doctor: Do you sleep well?

Carl:A little fitfully sometimes. This morning， I felt too sick to even get out of bed.

Doctor:(after checking Carl's heartbeat， blood pressure， and temperature) Everything seems to be OK. Any other symptoms?

Carl:No， nothing I can think of. I must say that things have been quite hectic around the office， recently.

Doctor:I think you may have a touch of the flu that's going around. And you do seem a little tired. I'll give you a flu shot and I recommend you take some vitamin supplements. Try to take it easier at work for a while， too.

Carl:Thanks，

Doctor.

Carl去看醫(yī)生，還做了一個(gè)體檢。醫(yī)生說(shuō)他沒(méi)什么大礙，只是得了流感，此外還有點(diǎn)疲勞過(guò)度。醫(yī)生給他開(kāi)了點(diǎn)藥，這樣會(huì)讓Carl 感覺(jué)好些嗎？

Doctor：請(qǐng)進(jìn)。我是 Evans 醫(yī)生。

Carl：我是 Carl Mathews。

Doctor：坐下吧。出什么問(wèn)題了？

Car：我近來(lái)體重又減輕了，而且感覺(jué)很疲勞。昨天我頭又疼，胃又疼，簡(jiǎn)直把我折磨死了。我好像發(fā)燒了，而且我覺(jué)得我可能吃壞了東西，現(xiàn)在拉肚子。

Doctor：(檢查 Carl 的醫(yī)療檔案) 三個(gè)月前，你最近一次體檢時(shí)，一切正常。你吃得好嗎？ 嘔吐嗎?

Carl：我吃得還算不錯(cuò)。昨晚，我覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)惡心想吐。

Doctor：你休息得好嗎？

Carl：有時(shí)睡不太安穩(wěn)。今早，我病得都起不了床了。

Doctor：(聽(tīng)了Carl的心跳，量了他的血壓和體溫) 看來(lái)一切都不錯(cuò)。有其他什么癥狀嗎？

Carl：沒(méi)有，我想不出什么來(lái)了。 我得承認(rèn)近來(lái)工作很忙。

Doctor：我覺(jué)得你染上了正流行的風(fēng)寒。你看起來(lái)確實(shí)有點(diǎn)兒疲倦。我給你打一針，并建議你補(bǔ)充一些維生素。還有，最近一段時(shí)間工作不要太緊張。

Carl：謝謝，醫(yī)生。

買(mǎi)件時(shí)尚衣服穿

What is a typical American shopping scenario?

Amber: This is a neat shop. There are so many fashionable clothes here.

Ethabella: It's one of my favorite clothing stores. Check this out. (holds up a skirt)

Amber: That's nice. How about this? (points to a pant suit) Would this style look good on me?

Ethabella: Sure would. Why don't you try it?

Amber: I think I will. (motions to a waiting saleslady) Can I try this on?

Saleslady: Yes. The dressing room is right over there.

(Amber goes to the dressing room， puts on the outfit， and steps out)

Amber:(to Ethabella) How do I look? Does this make me look fat?

Ethabella: No way. It really fits you well.

Amber: I think I'll buy it. How about you? Did you try on the skirt?

Ethabella: Yeah. It fits OK， but I noticed a lovely blouse on the way to the dressing room. Unfortunately， it doesn't match. (to the saleslady) Do you have this in other colors? (holding up the skirt) I need one that will go with the blouse.

Saleslady: Yes， I believe we may have something for you. Let me check. (goes to the skirt rack and returns with two skirts， the same style but different colors) I think either of these would go well with the blouse.

Ethabella: This one is perfect. By the way， what material is this skirt made of? And is it machine-washable?

Saleslady: It's 80% cotton， 20% polyester， and yes， it is machine washable.

Ethabella: OK， I'll take both of them. (hands the skirt and blouse to the saleslady)

讓我們來(lái)看看在美國(guó)購(gòu)物的典型場(chǎng)景吧。

Amber：這間店不錯(cuò)嘛。衣服都挺流行的。

Ethabella：這是我最喜歡的服裝店之一?？纯催@件。（舉起一條短裙）

Amber：不錯(cuò)。這件怎么樣？（指著一件女士套裝）我穿這個(gè)會(huì)好看嗎？

Ethabella：當(dāng)然好看。為什么不試一下？

Amber：我也是這么想的。（向售貨小姐示意）我可以試穿一下嗎？

Saleslady：可以。試衣間就在那兒。

（Amber走進(jìn)試衣間，穿上那套衣服后走了出來(lái)）

Amber：( 面向Ethabella)看起來(lái)怎么樣？我穿這個(gè)是不是顯得有點(diǎn)胖呀？

Ethabella：不會(huì)的。非常合身。

Amber：我想買(mǎi)下它。你呢？你試了那件裙子了嗎？

Ethabella：試了。很合身，但是我在去試衣間的路上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一件非常漂亮的襯衫。說(shuō)實(shí)話，這條短裙的顏色和襯衫不搭配。（面對(duì)著售貨小姐）這個(gè)有其他顏色的嗎？(舉起那件短裙 )我需要一條和這件襯衫配套。

Saleslady：可能有。讓我看一看。（走到掛裙子的架子那兒拿了兩件款式相同顏色各異的裙子）我想這兩件都可以和這件襯衫搭配。

Ethabella：這條非常棒。順便問(wèn)一下，這條裙子是什么料子的？可以機(jī)洗嗎？

Saleslady：有80%的棉，20%的聚酯纖維，可以用洗衣機(jī)洗。

Ethabella：好的，兩件我都要了。（把裙子和襯衫一同遞給了售貨小姐）
