看病就医篇：验血(1)

A: The doctor sent me over here to have my blood drawn¹.

B: Certainly, please have a seat and roll up your left sleeve.

A: What is this test for?

B: Well, today your doctor wants us to check your white blood cell count.

A: What does that tell him?

B: Well, if it is elevated, you might have an infection.

A: Will the blood test hurt?

B: It is only a little pin stick. I am going to put a tourniquet² on your arm to puff³ your veins⁴ up.

A: Ouch!

B: There we go! I got the blood that I needed.

A:那个有什么用？
