2015年ESL之就医和人际交往 09 Child Sports Injuries

Child Sports Injuries 

Angela: Wait! I need to put sunscreen on Davy before he goes to the game. 

Juan: It’s not sunny today. He doesn’t need sunscreen. 

Angela: And here are four water bottles to make sure he stays hydrated and doesn’t get heat stroke. 

Juan: One of the other parents is bringing drinks for the kids. It’s fine. We don’t need that. 

Angela: Make sure Davy warms up and cools down before and after the game. I don’t want him to strain or sprain¹ anything. 

Juan: The coach makes sure they do that. Are you done? 

Angela: And here’s a first-aid kit² in case he skins his knee or gets any other scrapes. We don’t want to risk infection. 

Juan: The reason we signed up Davy for organized sports is that all of this is taken care of. There’s even a certified³ athletic⁴ trainer at each game, one of the parents. 

Angela: But the other kids can be so rough. He comes home with bruises⁵ all the time. I can’t stand seeing him hurt. 

Juan: Do you want to come to the game? You can see for yourself that everything is fine. 

Angela: How can I watch Davy running into danger? I’d want to run onto the field and save him. 

Juan: You’re right. It’s better that you stay here. If you did that, your son would never live it down!
