地道美語聽力播客687：參加臨床試驗(雙語)

Lucinda: You look tired. Are you all right?

露辛達(dá)：你看起來好累，你還好嗎?

Elan: I’m fine. It’s this clinical trial I’m enrolled in. I’m suffering from some side effects.

宜蘭：我還好，是我參與臨床試驗了，現(xiàn)在有些副作用影響。

Lucinda: Are they serious?

露辛達(dá)：副作用嚴(yán)重嗎?

Elan: No, they’re not too bad. I was told to expect some adverse reactions in the first weeks of the pilot study. I guess that’s why only a small group of volunteers is taking part right now. It’s so they can judge the drug’s effectiveness before the pharmaceutical company does a large-scale trial.

宜蘭：不，不是很嚴(yán)重，我被告知在試驗研究的前幾周里會有一些不良反應(yīng)。我現(xiàn)在知道為什么只有一小部分的志愿者愿意參與了。只有這樣，制藥公司進(jìn)行大規(guī)模的生產(chǎn)前判定藥品的療效。

Lucinda: At least you know you’re not in the group getting a placebo.

露辛達(dá)：至少你知道自己沒有在吃安慰劑的那一組。

Elan: Who knows? I hope not. If I successfully get through this first phase, I’ll get a full dose of the drug in phase two.

宜蘭：誰知道呢?我希望沒有。如果我能順利經(jīng)過這第一階段，那么在第二階段我會服用整劑量的藥。

Lucinda: Then you may once and for all be rid of Podcaster’s Disease.

露辛達(dá)：那么也許你能徹底地擺脫“播客疾病”。

Elan: I really hope so. No one should go through life sounding like a podcaster.

宜蘭：我確實希望如此，沒有人應(yīng)該像播客那樣度過一生。
