你的孩子生病了,你带他去医院。医生问你,‘他哪里不舒服?’ 你会怎么说?今天,我们将学习如何在中国儿童医院里沟通。你会学会描述孩子的症状,也能明白医生的简单问题。让我们开始吧!

我的孩子小明今天早上有点不舒服。他发烧了,头很疼。我们决定去儿童医院看医生。医院里人很多,我很担心。我们在挂号台排队。护士问我:‘你的孩子叫什么名字?’我说:‘他叫小明。’ 护士又问:‘他哪里不舒服?’ 我告诉她:‘他发烧,还有头疼。’ 护士给了我一个号码,然后说:‘请在这里等。医生很快会叫你们。’ 小明看起来很累,他一直靠在我身上。我心里想,希望医生能快点。

Let's pause our story there and look at some useful phrases and words you just heard.

  • 不舒服 — uncomfortable / not feeling well, 我有点不舒服。
  • 发烧 — to have a fever, 他发烧了。
  • 头疼 — headache, 我的头很疼。
  • 看医生 — to see a doctor, 我们去看医生。
  • 护士 — nurse, 护士问我。
  • 等 — to wait, 请在这里等。, 现在,我们回到小明的医院故事。

过了一会儿,医生叫了我们的号码。我们进了诊室。医生很温柔,他先问小明:‘小朋友,你哪里不舒服啊?’ 小明小声说:‘我头疼。’ 医生检查了小明的喉咙和耳朵。他告诉我们:‘小明有点感冒,要多喝水,多休息。’ 医生开了一些药。在中国,看完医生,你需要拿着药方去药房拿药。我拿着药方去药房,很快就拿到了药。我对医生和护士说:‘谢谢你们!’ 小明吃了药,现在好多了。我觉得很安心,因为我们得到了帮助。

现在,我们来练习一下今天的句子。

  • 我的孩子小明今天早上有点不舒服。 — My child Xiaoming is a bit uncomfortable this morning.
  • 他发烧了,头很疼。 — He has a fever, and his head hurts a lot.
  • 我们决定去儿童医院看医生。 — We decided to go to the children's hospital to see a doctor.
  • 护士问我:‘你的孩子叫什么名字?’ — The nurse asked me: ‘What is your child's name?’
  • 医生告诉我们:‘小明有点感冒,要多喝水,多休息。’ — The doctor told us: ‘Xiaoming has a slight cold, drink more water, and rest more.’
  • 我对医生和护士说:‘谢谢你们!’ — I said to the doctor and nurse: ‘Thank you!’, 你做得很好!继续努力,下个故事再见!

今天我们学习了如何在儿童医院里描述症状和沟通。你现在可以自信地告诉医生你的孩子哪里不舒服。你的孩子生病时,你会怎么做?请在评论里告诉我们你的答案。
