哈德逊情景对话第 43 课：Your case can’t wait. 你的病情不能拖延

Receptionist: Alright. And what is the nature of your visit? 好的。你有哪方面的问题？

Ronald: Uh . . . 哦……

Receptionist: Yes sir. 说吧，先生。

Ronald: Well, to tell the truth, I fell from a ladder two days ago while painting my house, and I sprain my ankle when my foot landed in a paint can. 说实话，两天前我在油漆房子时从梯子上摔了下来，脚插进了油漆桶，扭伤了脚踝。

I suffered a few scratches on my hands and knees, but I am most concerned that the swelling in my ankle hasn't gone down yet. 手和膝盖有一些刮伤。但让我最担心的是脚踝上还没有消肿。

Receptionist: Well, did you put ice on it immediately after this happened? 哦，受伤后你有没有立刻拿冰敷上？

Ronald: Well, yeah. I just filled the paint can with ice and . . . 哦，有的。我把油漆桶里装满了冰并且……

Receptionist: And so after you removed the paint can . . . Sir, sir, Mr. Ronald, are you still there? 那么你把油漆桶移开后……先生，先生，罗纳德先生，你还在听吗？

Ronald: Well, that is part of the problem. Uh, the paint can is still on my foot. 哦，不止这些。啊……油漆桶还在我脚上。

Receptionist: Look, Mr. Ronald. Please come in today. I don't think your case can wait. 听着，罗纳德先生，请你今天就来，我想你的情况不能再拖了。
