Диалог № 1
Traveller (T)
Doctor (D)
D: Well, what’s the matter with you, Mr. Miller?
T: You’d better ask me what is not the matter with me, doctor. I seem to be suffering from all the illnesses imaginable: insomnia, headaches, backache, indigestion and pains in the stomach. To make things still worse, I’ve caught a cold, I've got a sore throat, and I'm constantly sneezing and coughing. To crown it all, I had an accident the other day, hurt my right shoulder, leg and knee, and nearly broke my neck. If I take a long walk, I get short of breath. In fact, I feel more dead than alive.
D: I'm sorry to hear that. Anyhow, I hope things aren't as bad as you imagine. Let me examine you... Your heart, chest and lungs seem to be all right. Now open your mouth and show me your tongue. Now breathe in deeply through the nose...
There doesn't seem to be anything radically wrong with you, but it's quite clear that you're run down, and if you don't take care of yourself, you may have a nervous breakdown and have to go to hospital. I advise you, first of all to stop worrying. Take a long rest, have regular meals, keep to a diet of salads and fruit, and very little meat. Keep off alcohol. If possible, give up smoking, at least for a time. Have this tonic made up and take two tablespoonfuls three times a day before meals. If you do this, I can promise you full reсоvеrу within two or three months.
T: And if I don't, doctor?
D: Then you'd better make your will, if you haven't yet done so!
T: I see. Well, thank you, doctor. I shall have to think it over and decide which in the lesser evil – to follow your advice or prepare for a better world.
| indigestion – расстройство пищеварения to catch a cold - простудиться to sneeze - чихать to crown it all – в довершении всего to hurt – травмировать, ранить a tongue – язык to be run down – чувствовать себя уставшим | to have a nervous breakdown – быть подвергнутым нервному расстройству to keep off – воздержаться от a tablespoonful – столовая ложка full reсоvеrу – полное выздоровление to make one’s will – составить завещание the lesser evil – меньшее зло |
Диалог № 2
Wayne fell off his bicycle. He's in the casualty department at the local hospital. Dr Singh is examining him.
Doctor: Hello, Wayne, isn't it? You've had a bit of a fall. What were you doing? Going too fast?
Wayne: Yes, doctor. I fell off going round a corner.
Doctor: You'd better get undressed then, and we'll take a look at you. Mm. That's a nasty cut. I'll have to put a couple of stitches in that.
Wayne: I've got a cut here too, doctor.
Doctor: It looks worse than it is. It's only a graze. The nurse will clean it up for you. It'll sting, but that's all. Now, does it hurt anywhere else?
Wayne: I've got a pain in my arm. It's very sore, and it feels stiff.
Doctor: Well, there's nothing broken, but you've bruised your shoulder, it'll be sore for a few days. Now, did you bang your head at all?
Wayne: Yes, I did. I fell onto the bike, but it doesn't hurt now.
Doctor: Did you feel dizzy?
Wayne: No, not at all.
Doctor: Look up there, I'm just going to shine this light in your eye. No, that's fine. I'll just do the stitches, and the nurse will put a dressing on it. Then you can go
home.
