我的声音有点儿沙哑,说话也有点儿慢。这正常吗?我应该去看医生吗?去医院看医生,你会怎么描述你的症状呢?今天,你将学会如何在中国描述你的声音问题,并在语言治疗师那儿进行一次简单的对话。

今天,我要去看语言治疗师。我有点儿紧张,因为我的声音最近不太好。早上醒来,我的喉咙有点儿痛,说话也很吃力。朋友告诉我,也许是我的发音不对,或者我用嗓过度。所以我预约了语言治疗师。诊所很安静。一个友好的护士给我量了体温。然后,我坐在等候区,看着墙上的海报。上面写着如何保护你的声音。我的名字被叫到了。我走进房间,语言治疗师微笑着说你好。她问我,你有什么问题?

Now let's take a moment to look at some key vocabulary and phrases from that part of the story.

  • 语言治疗师 — speech therapist, 我要去看语言治疗师。
  • 声音 — voice, 我的声音最近不太好。
  • 说话 — to speak, 说话也很吃力。
  • 沙哑 — hoarse, 我的声音有点儿沙哑。
  • 喉咙 — throat, 我的喉咙有点儿痛。
  • 检查 — to check/examine, 医生会检查我的喉咙。, 好了,让我们回到故事中,看看接下来发生了什么。

我告诉她,我的声音有点儿沙哑,说话的时候感觉很累。她仔细听我说话,然后请我张开嘴,用小手电筒检查了我的喉咙。她说,你的喉咙有点儿红,但问题不大。她教我一些呼吸的练习,还说要多喝水。在中国,医生通常会给病人很多实用的建议。她还给我看了一些发音的图片,告诉我怎么正确地使用我的声带。她说,每天练习十分钟,声音会慢慢恢复。我感觉好多了,也学到了一些新的方法。希望我的声音能很快变好!

现在,让我们一起练习今天的句子吧!

  • 我要去看语言治疗师。— I'm going to see a speech therapist.
