昨天晚上我睡得不好,早上起来头很疼,还有点儿发烧。我需要去医院吗?医生会说什么?别担心,听完今天的故事,你就能在诊所清楚地表达自己的情况,也能听懂医生的话。让我们一起学习吧!

今天早上我醒来,感觉身体很不舒服。我的头很疼,而且有点儿发烧。我知道我应该去看医生。我穿好衣服,离开了家。外面下着小雨,天气有点冷。我走到附近的诊所。诊所里人不多,很安静。我走到挂号处,对护士说:‘你好,我有点儿不舒服,想看医生。’护士看着我,问:‘你哪里不舒服?’ 我告诉她:‘我头疼,还发烧。’护士递给我一张表格,说:‘请你填一下这张表格。’

Let's pause our story for a moment to look at some useful words and phrases we just heard.

  • 不舒服 — not feeling well, 我今天有点不舒服。
  • 头疼 — headache, 我头疼,想睡觉。
  • 发烧 — to have a fever, 小孩子发烧了。
  • 诊所 — clinic, 这家诊所很近。
  • 挂号 — to register (at a clinic/hospital), 我需要挂号。
  • 护士 — nurse, 护士很友好。, 现在,让我们回到诊所,看看接下来发生了什么。

我填完表格,然后坐在等候区等了一会儿。很快,护士叫了我的名字,我走进医生的房间。医生很有礼貌地问我:‘你好,请坐。你哪里不舒服?’ 我告诉医生:‘我头疼,发烧,而且我的嗓子也有点疼,我觉得我感冒了。’ 医生仔细听了我的描述,然后检查了我的身体。他看着我,说:‘嗯,你可能感冒了。我会给你开一些药。记住,要多喝水,多休息。’ 中国医生总是强调多喝热水和休息。我拿到药,觉得心里舒服多了。虽然生病了,但我知道怎么看医生了。

现在,我们一起练习几个句子,提高你的口语能力!

  • 我今天感觉身体很不舒服。 — I don't feel well today.
