At the doctor's office
Wilson is a foreign student in Britain.He is learning English there.He still has some trouble using the language.
Doctor: Good morning. You're a new patient, I think. What's the trouble?
Wilson: Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes hot. I have a headache and a stomachache. Doctor:Yes, you look a bit off﹣colour.
Wilson: What colour, please?
Doctor: Sorry, what I said was "off﹣colour".We use it to describe how people look or feel when they are unwell. Let me take your temperature. When did this start?
Wilson: I felt very tired last night when I went to bed. Then I felt really bad this morning when I woke up.
Doctor: I see. Now, let's look at your temperature. Ah, just as I thought, a hundred and one.Wilson: Oh, a hundred and one? So high?
Doctor: Ah, yes, that must sound strange to you. We measure people's temperature on the Fahrenheit scale(华氏). In centigrade, your temperature is 39℃, which is a bit high, but not exactly boiling point(沸点).
Wilson: Oh, it isn't very bad, then.
Doctor: No, it isn't serious. You've got a cold. I'll give you some medicine. You'd better stay at home in the warm for a day or two and drink plenty of water.
Wilson: Thank you very much, doctor. I'm feeling better already. It wasn't so difficult telling you about my illness.
Doctor: No, language doesn't matter too much to a doctor. After all, vets manage without language at all.
Wilson: Please, what's a "vets"?
Doctor: Animal doctors. Now I must end this English lesson and see my next patient.
