今天的這段對話,在討論去醫(yī)院,
你第一次去醫(yī)院是什么時候?說一說當時住院的情況
來聽今天的講解:
A: Hey, Ian, tell me about the time you were at the hospital.
嗨,伊恩,跟我說說你第一次去醫(yī)院是什么時候吧。
B: What, the first time I went to the hospital?
什么,我第一次去醫(yī)院?
A: Yes, the first time.
對,第一次。
B: The first time I went to hospital was when I was 13 years old and it was the day of my birthday and I had a pain in my right side and I'd been sick the day before and so on my birthday my mom phoned the hospital and the doctor decided I should go to hospital and I had my appendix out.
我13歲時第一次去醫(yī)院,那天是我的生日,我右邊有點疼,而且我前一天病了,所以我媽媽在我生日那天給醫(yī)院打電話,醫(yī)生認為我應該去醫(yī)院,然后我去做了闌尾手術(shù)。
A: OW! That sounds painful!
哇!那聽起來很痛苦!
B: Mm, but there's more! On my 18th birthday, I had like a lump in my throat, and I couldn't breathe properly and again my mother phoned the doctors and I went to the hospital again and my right lung had collapsed.
嗯,還有呢!我18歲生日那天,我覺得喉嚨哽咽,我不能正常呼吸,于是我媽媽又給醫(yī)生打了電話,然后我又一次去了醫(yī)院,我的右肺閉合了。
A: Oh, my goodness!
哦,我的天哪!
B: I know. I spent about 8 days in hospital and it was is Wales. I always remember being in Wales because I had problems understanding the doctor's accent, and then, are you ready, there's more.
我知道你的感受。我在威爾士的醫(yī)院住了八天。我依然記得那是在威爾士是因為我實在聽不懂醫(yī)生的口音,接下來,你準備好了嗎,還有更多的事情。
A: Tell me.
跟我說說。
B: Again when I was 20 years old I was at university in Leeds, and again I had a lump in my throat and I had problems breathing. I went to the hospital and the same thing again. My right lung had collapsed.
之后我20歲時,我在利茲上大學,然后我又感到喉嚨哽咽,而且再次出現(xiàn)了呼吸困難的問題。我去了醫(yī)院,結(jié)果是因為同樣的原因,我的右肺閉合了。
A: Collapsed!
閉合!
B: Yes, but this time, because we were in a big city, they had more sophisticated medical equipment and they put a syringe, made a very small hole in my chest and put the syringe into my lung and drained away the excess air and my lung was inflated again.
對,不過這次因為我們在一個大城市,他們有更先進的醫(yī)療設(shè)備,所以他們在我的胸部開了一個小洞,然后把注射器推進我的肺部,排出多余的空氣,然后我的肺部就恢復正常了。
A: Did it hurt?
那疼嗎?
B: Not as much as the first time. And I only spent a day in hospital and then they sent me home, but there's more. A week later I had the same problem, a lump in my throat, and I had problems breathing and so I went to the hospital again and my right lung had collapsed again, for the third time, so this time the doctors decided they had to do a bigger operation to make sure that this wouldn't happen again so I was at hospital for two weeks and they cut away the top part of my lung, and stitched me back up and now my lungs are absolutely fine. I've had no problems since and I'm doing lots of running and I feel much better, but I don't want to have the same thing again. Ever!
不像第一次那么疼。我只在醫(yī)院住了一天,之后他們就讓我出院了,不過還沒完。一周以后我又出現(xiàn)了同樣的問題,喉嚨哽咽、呼吸困難,于是我又去了醫(yī)院,我的右肺再次閉合了,這已經(jīng)是第三次了,這次醫(yī)生決定他們要進行手術(shù),以確保這種情況不會再次發(fā)生,所以我在醫(yī)院住了兩周的時間,他們切除了我肺部的頂部,然后又幫我縫合好,所以現(xiàn)在我的肺部非常健康。自那以后我再沒出現(xiàn)過任何問題,現(xiàn)在我會做大量的跑步運動,我感覺好多了,當然我絕對再也不想發(fā)生這樣的情況了!
A: I hope you don't either. That's amazing!
我也希望這種情況再也不會發(fā)生了。那太讓人吃驚了!
B: I know. The thing is, my uncle and my father had the same problems so it's probably in my genes, in my families genes, that we have this. It's a common family problem, but anyway, now I am OK.
的確是。其實是因為我爸爸和我叔叔都有同樣的問題,所以這可能是我的基因,我家族的基因有這種病癥。這是家族共同的問題,不過不管怎么樣,我現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)好了。
A: Wow! That's good!
哇!那真是太好了!
