医生护士英语会话(7)：交通事故

大夫：你哪里不舒服？
Doctor: What seems to be the problem?

病人：唉，我刚才过马路，正赶上一辆车从拐角处开过来。由于车速过快，等司机看到我再刹车时，已经太晚了。我被撞倒在地，从地上爬起来时，我发现我的左臂和肘部也被擦伤，并且现在我的肋骨有点痛。
Patient: Well, I was crossing the road, where a car came round the corner too quickly, and when the driver saw me, it was too late to stop. I was knocked to the ground, and when I got up,my left arm and elbow were grazed and now, I have a pain in my ribs¹.

大夫：让我检查一下吧。你哪儿疼啊？
Doctor: I'll just take a look. Where does it hurt?

病人：这很难说清楚，好象浑身都痛。
Patient: It's hard to say. It hurts all over.

大夫：我按这儿，你疼不疼？
Doctor: Does it hurt when I do this?

病人：哎呀！你一按这儿我就疼得要命。
Patient: Ouch! The pain is very bad when you press here.

大夫：你的胳膊和肘部好象没什么问题。但是出于安全考虑，你还是最好去照一张X光片。片子照好之后，马上拿过来让我看看。
Doctor: You arm and elbow seem to be all right. But, to be on the safe side, you'd better go to the X-ray Department. When the X-rays are ready, bring them back to me to examine.

病人：好的，那么待会儿再见吧！
Patient: OK. See you later.

大夫：待会儿见！
Doctor: See you then!


( Ten minutes later, the patient brings back the X-ray plates)
病人：这是我的X光片。
Patient:Here's my X-rays.

大夫：让我看看，一切基本正常。只是这儿，你看，有点小问题。有一点骨裂。
Doctor: I'll just take a look at it. Everything is all right, except here, see it? There's a hairline fracture.

病人：这严重吗？
Patient: Is it serious?

大夫：算不上严重。但是，这两三周你最好不要去上班。尽量卧床休息
Doctor: No. It's not very serious, but you should take two or three weeks off work, and rest in bed as much as possible.

病人：大夫，我是否需要服用点什么药呢？
Patient: Should I take some medicine, doctor?

大夫：是这样，我会给你开一些草药，这样你的伤口会愈合得快一点。另外，你还需要服用一些口服药。这是药方。待会儿你拿到药房去配药。请按说明服药。
Doctor: All right. I'll give you some herbal medicine to help you heal quickly. In addition, I will prescribe you some medicine for oral administration. Here is a prescription². Take it to the chemist's. please take the medicine according to the instruction.

病人：我需要上石膏吗？
Patient: Will I need to be put in plaster?

大夫：不需要。药方里我给你开了一管药膏。每天搽两三次。
Doctor: No, it isn't necessary. I have presribed you a tube of ointment³. Administer it two or three times a day.

病人：非常感谢您，大夫。
Patient: Thank you very much, doctor.

大夫：不客气。再见！
Doctor: Not at all. Goodbye!

病人：再见！
Patient: Goodbye!
