人生病了,要去醫(yī)院看醫(yī)生。那么在英語中,醫(yī)生會怎樣詢問你的病情,你又該怎樣回答呢?請看下面Tom和醫(yī)生的對話:
D: Oh, Tom, What’s wrong with you? (哦,湯姆,你怎么了?)
T: Well, doctor, I have a headache.(醫(yī)生,我頭疼。)
D: How long has it been like this?(這種情況有多久了?)
T: Maybe since yesterday evening.(也許從昨天晚上開始。)
D: Then how about your appetite?(那你的食欲怎樣?)
T: I don’t have much appetite. (我沒什么食欲。)
What should I do, doctor?(醫(yī)生,我該怎么辦?)
D: Never mind! Take it easy!(沒關(guān)系,放松點(diǎn)?。?/p>
You’ve just got a cold.(你只是感冒了。)
Remember to take one pill three times a day after meals.(記得飯后吃一片藥,一天三次。)
T: OK, I do. Thank you, doctor.(好,我會的。謝謝!醫(yī)生。)
此外,醫(yī)生問病人的病情,還有以下幾種表達(dá)方法:
1. What’s your trouble?
2. How are you feeling?
3. Are you feeling well / all right?
相應(yīng)地,病人可以這么回答醫(yī)生:
1. I have a pain in my left hand.
2. I feel sick / dizzy / weak.
3. I am afraid not.
醫(yī)生問病人食欲怎樣,病情持續(xù)多久了:
1. How’s your appetite? / What’s your appetite like?
2. How long have you been ill like this? / How long have you had this problem?
病人則可以這樣回答醫(yī)生:
1. Good. / Fair. / Poor.
2. I seem to have lost appetite in everything. / I’ve got no appetite.
I have no stomach for food. / I don’t feel like eating anything.
3. It ’s been this way for two days. / For a week.
最后,醫(yī)生做出診斷,并叮囑病人按時(shí)服藥,他會這么說:
“Take the medicine three times a day after/before/with meals.”
