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 counselor5 for her.
B: That’s a good idea. The counselor is a psychologist. He’s better trained to handle these sorts of things.

B: I thought it would be a good idea to get a check-up.

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 disease6, you know. You really should quit.

B: 好的。
A: 让我来检查检查。眼睛和耳朵情况良好。深呼吸一下。你吸烟吗,史密斯先生?

Part Four: Monologue7
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 fluids8 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.
卡尔的话:
美国人在身体健全的时候也经常去看医生或者看牙医。他们希望通过清洁牙齿和检查身体来预防疾病。因此,他们会找医生或者牙医进行检查。医生通常会检查他们的呼吸情况、心跳、耳朵、眼睛和咽喉,还会测量体重、取病人的尿样进行检测,同时还会查找可能患严重疾病的征兆。牙医则会帮助清洁病人牙齿,并且用激光检测是否有坏牙。越来越多的美国人和关心自己健康的人正加入这种预防医学的行列。
