A: Her father is dying.
B: Oh, that’s very sad.
A: Yeah, she’s broken up about it, poor kid.
B: What did you do?
A: I talked to her for a while, but she’s really depressed. So, I made an appointment with the school counselor for her.
B: That’s a good idea. The counselor is a psychologist. He’s better trained to handle these sorts of things.
A: Yeah, that’s what I told her. I’m glad she’s reaching out for help, instead of trying to deal with this on her own.
B: Yeah, me too.

B: I know. I figure as long as there’s nothing wrong, why go see the doctor?
A: Well, the best way to avoid serious illnesses is to find out about them early. So, try to come at least once a year for your own good.
B: O.K.
A: Let me see here. Your eyes and ears look fine. Take a deep breath, please. Do you smoke, Mr. Smith?
B: Yes.
A: Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer and heart disease, you know. You really should quit.

B: O.K., thanks, doctor.

B: 我知道。我想只要沒有什么不舒服的話,哪里要看什么醫(yī)生。
A: 哦,避免患上嚴(yán)重疾病的最好的方法是早點(diǎn)發(fā)現(xiàn)它,所以,為了你自己,還是每年至少來一次。

Part Four: Monologue
Carl’s Note:
Americans often go to their doctor and dentists when they are not sick. They hope to prevent being sick by having their teeth cleaned and their health checked. Therefore, they see the doctor and dentist for check-ups. Doctors check their breathing, heartbeat, ears, eyes, and throat, their weight, take samples of patient’s fluids to run tests, and look for signs of more serious illnesses. Dentists clean a patient’s teeth, and take x-rays to see if any teeth are going bad. More and more, Americans and the people who take care of their health are practicing this kind of preventive medicine.
卡爾的話:
美國(guó)人在身體健全的時(shí)候也經(jīng)常去看醫(yī)生或者看牙醫(yī)。他們希望通過清潔牙齒和檢查身體來預(yù)防疾病。因此,他們會(huì)找醫(yī)生或者牙醫(yī)進(jìn)行檢查。醫(yī)生通常會(huì)檢查他們的呼吸情況、心跳、耳朵、眼睛和咽喉,還會(huì)測(cè)量體重、取病人的尿樣進(jìn)行檢測(cè),同時(shí)還會(huì)查找可能患嚴(yán)重疾病的征兆。牙醫(yī)則會(huì)幫助清潔病人牙齒,并且用激光檢測(cè)是否有壞牙。越來越多的美國(guó)人和關(guān)心自己健康的人正加入這種預(yù)防醫(yī)學(xué)的行列。
