醫(yī)生護士常用口語會話八講(8)
Lesson 8 Introducing oneself to a new colleague
【Situation 場景】
以下內容為在醫(yī)院里的兩個護士第一次見面時的對話，通過對話，我們可以學習第一次見到新同事時如何介紹自己，發(fā)展出更多的對話來。
不過，我們需要注意的是，第一個護士問的問題比較多，而另一個護士則多為回答問題，這種情況是較為常見的，一般新來的護士都會被問及很多問題，而“老”護士則往往表現(xiàn)出對新護士的問題比較感興趣。
當自我介紹的時候，通?？梢允褂靡恍┒Y貌用語，如："Pleased to meet you". （美國英語中，通常用"Nice to meet you" ）。
對話中，您將看到有"Out in the sticks"之類的字眼，這是一種非正是的表達方式，表示“遠離家園”、“遠渡重洋”之意。
“Lovely”一詞表示對別人剛剛提到的事物或某些有趣的經歷表現(xiàn)出自己的興趣。而“Have you been……？”也是詢問別人是否有……經歷的常用提問方式。護士作了否定回答：“No, never. I've been to Spain, though." 這時，護士2接著問：“Where did you go？”其實，這種問話方式也是對一般過去時的運用，表示過去所發(fā)生的一些事情（動作）。這里，護士說，她去過西班牙，后來又回來了，屬于過去發(fā)生的動作。
【Dialogue 對話】
A: Good morning, have you just joined us？
B: Yes, it's my first day. I've just arrived-not late, am I？
A: No, of course not. Pleased to meet you. My name is Eileen-what's yours？
B: Rosario-from Spain. Nice to meet you.
A: Spain, eh? Lovely. What part of Spain？
B: Madrid. The big city.
A: It's the capital, isn't it?
B: Won't you miss it, oming to a little place like this out in the sticks? No-I'm glad to get away. You can get tired of big cities, you know-all those people, all the traffic, the rush hour. I could have gone to London instead of here, but I didn't want to-not just yet.
A: No, I suppose not. I don't London, myself.
B: Have you ever been, you know-to Madrid？
A: No, never. I've been to Spain, though. On holiday with my boyfriend.
B: Where did you go？
A: One of the Costas, I think it was. Sitges, was it? About three or four years ago，…… was really wonderful-we had a great time.
B: Whatever has made you come to somewhere like this, when you've got Sitges and places like that to work in?
A: Well, I want to see the world a bit while I'm still young. Plus, I'd like to learn some English-and get some professional hospital experience. This is my first proper post.
B: Well, you'll get plenty of experience in this job. We're very busy-all the time. Permanently. Rushed off our feet, sometimes.
A: Good, I like to be busy.
B: You will love it here, then. Where did you train？
A: In madrid. At the Nursing College and then at the Santa Maria Hospital.

Lesson 6 Return visit to surgery
【Situation 場景】
在本輯中，一位病人（Mr. Wilson）回來復診，醫(yī)生對他的病情（心疼?。┨岢鲆恍┙ㄗh。
在會話中，“What can I do for you？” 的表達方式與“How can I help you？”一樣，一般用來詢問別人、并解釋說明問題之所在。
Mr. Wilson使用了這樣一個詞組 “same old thing”（老樣子）來描述了他的心疼病的狀況以及該病給他帶來的痛苦。
對話中，有一個詞“progress”意為“改善；好轉”之意，比如：
"I just don't seem to be making any progress at all"
“好像沒有什么好轉呀。”
實際上，Mr. Wilson的心疼病似乎要比以前更嚴重，所以，他對醫(yī)生說：I'm worse in fact. 意為：“實際上，我的病情比以前嚴重”。針對此，醫(yī)生建議馬上進行手術，并告訴病人"Let me ask you a few questions, just to see if we've missed something, or to see if you've left anything out."（我再問你幾個問題，看看我們遺漏了什么，還需要補充點什么。）
【Dialogue 對話】
Doctor: Good morning, Mr. Wilson-What can I do for you this morning?
Patient: Good morning, doctor. Same old thing- heartburn. It seems to be getting worse. I'm sick of it.
Doctor: Let me just have a look at your notes. Just give me a minute…… I see you've been coming to us once a month for some time. Would you say that's about right？
Patient: Yes, something like that. that's about how often I've been coming to see you. And I don't seem to be getting any better. I'm worse in fact. I just don't seem to be making any progress at all.
Doctor: That doesn't sound too good, does it? Let me ask you a few questions, just to see if we've missed something, or to see if you've left anything out.
Patient: Alright-What do you want know?
