第77课：厄尼去看医生

Lesson 77: Ernie Visits the Doctor

厄尼持续有短暂的晕眩咒语。 他决定去看医生。

Ernie keeps having brief dizzy spells. He decides to see his doctor about them.

这是本课中使用的成语：

Here is idiom used in this lesson:

“瞬间过” =持续很短的时间。

"Over in a flash" = lasting for a very short time.

“保持” =保持价值。

"To hold up" = to maintain a value.

“ENT” =耳鼻喉专科医生。

"ENT" = Ear, Nose and Throat specialist doctor.

“吃水啤酒” =从酒馆地窖里的桶中抽出的啤酒，因此可以“轻按”而不是罐装或瓶装。

"Draught beer" = beer pumped up from barrels in the cellar of a pub, so that it's "on tap" rather than in cans or bottles.

Over in a flash, To hold up, ENT, Draught beer.

“标准饮料” =含10克酒精的饮料。

"Standard drink" = a drink containing 10 grams of alcohol.

“ 米迪”或“锅” = 285毫升啤酒。 这是1.1标准饮料。

"Middy" or "Pot" = a small glass of beer, 285 ml. This is 1.1 standard drinks.

“大篷车” = 425毫升中杯啤酒。 这是1.6标准的饮料。

"Schooner" = a medium glass of beer, 425 ml. This is 1.6 standard drinks.

“品脱” =一大杯啤酒，570毫升。 这是2.2标准饮料。

"Pint" = a large glass of beer, 570 ml. This is 2.2 standard drinks.

Standard drink, Middy / Pot, Schooner, Pint.

“本地” =当地酒吧。

"Local" = the local pub.

“最好的部分” =几乎所有东西。请注意：英语中的另一种含义实际上是事件，功能，聚会等的最佳片段，但这不是医生在此对话中的意思。

"The best part of" = almost all of something. Please note: Another meaning in English is literally the best piece of an event, function, party etc., but that's not what the Doctor means in this dialogue.

“削减” =减少该数量。

"Cut that back" = reduce that amount.

“血液工作” =血液检查结果。

"Blood work" = results of a blood test.

“熟食[SL：]” =酒精饮料。

"Grog [SL:]" = alcoholic drink.

Local, The best part of, Cut that back, Blood work, Grog.

这是对话：

Here's the dialogue:

医生：你好，厄尼，我好久没见到你了。 似乎是什么问题？

Doctor: Hello Ernie, I haven't seen you for a while. What seems to be the problem?

厄尼：我一直在晕眩。

Ernie: I keep having dizzy spells.

医生：“头晕”是您摔倒了吗？

Doctor: By "dizzy" do you mean you fall over?

厄尼：不，还不错。 有时我会摇晃一下。 我觉得我可能会失去平衡。

Ernie: No, not that bad. Sometimes I wobble just a bit. I feel like I might lose my balance.

医生：所以感觉更像是您向一侧倾斜，不是房间在旋转吗？

Doctor: So it feels more like you are leaning to one side, not that the room is spinning?

厄尼：不，没有旋转。

Ernie: No, there's no spinning.

医生：当您从坐着起来或躺下起来时，您会有这种感觉吗？

Doctor: Do you feel like this when you get up from sitting, or get up from lying down?

厄尼：不。

Ernie: No.

医生：你觉得这样多久了？

Doctor: How long have you felt like this?

厄尼：几个月，也许六个月？

Ernie: Months, maybe 6 months?

医生：每天多少次？

Doctor: And how often per day?

厄尼：哦，每周只有一次或两次，他们很快就结束了。

Ernie: Oh, only once or twice a week, and they're over in a flash.

医生：你最近打过头吗？ 或头痛或颈痛严重？

Doctor: Have you hit your head recently? Or had a bad headache or neckache?

厄尼：不，不是那样的。

Ernie: No, nothing like that.

医生：听起来您正在经历“失衡”。 我现在将做一些测试，也许会把您送去做进一步的测试。 好？

Doctor: It sounds like you're experiencing "disequilibrium". I'll do some tests now, and maybe send you for further tests. Ok?

厄尼：很好。

Ernie: Fine.

[医生测量厄尼的身高，体重和腰围。 他在厄尼躺着，坐下和站立时测量厄尼的血压。 他听自己的心脏和颈动脉。 他看着耳内。]

[The Doctor measures Ernie's height, weight and waistline. He measures Ernie's blood pressure while Ernie lies, sits and stands. He listens to his heart and carotid arteries. He looks inside his ears.]

医生：嗯，你肥胖，血压中等偏高。 但是当您站起来时，它可以很好地支撑住，而且您似乎没有严重的心脏病。 我将带您去耳鼻喉专科医生，看看您是否有内耳感染或其他问题。 我还会请您进行血液检查，只是检查您的血糖和其他一些东西。 你喝多少酒？

Doctor: Well, you're obese and your blood pressure is moderately high. But it holds up well when you stand up, and you don't seem to have severe heart problems. I'll refer you to an ENT specialist to see if you have an inner-ear infection or other problem. I'll also give you a request for a blood test, just to check on your blood sugar and a few other things. How much alcohol do you drink?

厄尼：我每周两次或两次去酒吧，和我的伴侣伯特一起喝酒，每人通常喝3品脱生啤酒。

Ernie: I visit the pub two or three times a week and drink with my mate Bert, usually 3 pints of draught beer each.

医生：那是品脱的，不是水手或大篷车的吗？

Doctor: That's pints, not middys or schooners?

厄尼：噢，伙计，我好几年都没用过“中庸”和“大篷车”了。 这是我们当地人的锅和品脱。

Ernie: Oh, I haven't used the words "middy" and "schooner" for years, mate. It's pots and pints at our local.

医生：好的，那是每周20种标准饮料中最好的部分。 我建议您减少这种情况。 政府的健康建议正在发生变化，每周不超过15个，而根本不喝酒的则为两天。

Doctor: OK, that's the best part of 20 standard drinks a week. I recommend that you cut that back. The Government health advice is changing, to no more than 15 a week, and two days when you don't drink at all.

[四个星期后，厄尼重访了拥有所有检查结果的医生]。

[Four weeks later, Ernie revisits the Doctor, who has the results of all tests].

医生：除了肝功能和胆固醇外，您的血液检查还算公道。 你削减了熟料吗？

Doctor: Your blood work is fair, except for your Liver Function and Cholesterol. Have you cut back on the grog?

厄尼：呃，尝试。

Ernie: Uh, tried to.

医生：如果可以，那就太好了，如果不能，就不会太好。 同时，耳鼻喉科发现了一些炎症，并认为是由于过敏引起的。 你有没有过敏测试？

Doctor: It will be great if you can, not so great if you can't. Meanwhile, the ENT found some inflammation and thinks it's due to an allergy. Have you ever had an allergy test?

厄尼：不是我记得。

Ernie: Not that I can remember.

医生：好的，我将组织过敏测试，然后从那里进行。 并尝试少喝酒！

Doctor: OK, I'll organise an allergy test and we'll take it from there. And try to drink less!

厄尼：好吧。 谢谢您医生。

Ernie: All right. Thank you, Doctor.
