交通事故頻發，近年來因交通事故而去看醫生的人也不在少數。下面就是一段因交通事故而進醫院的病人與醫生的對話。下面，我們一起去練習一下。
大夫：你哪裡不舒服?
Doctor： What seems to be the problem?
病人：唉，我剛才過馬路，正趕上一輛車從拐角處開過來。由於車速過快，等司機看到我再剎車時，已經太晚了。我被撞倒在地，從地上爬起來時，我發現我的左臂和肘部也被擦傷，並且現在我的肋骨有點痛。
Patient： Well， I was crossing the road， where a car came round the corner too quickly， and when the driver saw me， it was too late to stop. I was knocked to the ground， and when I got up，my left arm and elbow were grazed and now， I have a pain in my ribs.
大夫：讓我檢查一下吧。你哪兒疼啊?
Doctor： I'll just take a look. Where does it hurt?
病人：這很難說清楚，好象渾身都痛。
Patient： It's hard to say. It hurts all over.
大夫：我按這兒，你疼不疼?
Doctor： Does it hurt when I do this?
病人：哎呀!你一按這兒我就疼得要命。
Patient： Ouch! The pain is very bad when you press here.
大夫：你的.胳膊和肘部好象沒什麼問題。但是出於安全考慮，你還是最好去照一張X光片。片子照好之後，馬上拿過來讓我看看。
Doctor： You arm and elbow seem to be all right. But， to be on the safe side， you'd better go to the X-ray Department. When the X-rays are ready， bring them back to me to examine.
病人：好的，那麼待會兒再見吧!
Patient： OK. See you later.
大夫：待會兒見!
Doctor： See you then!
病人：這是我的X光片。
Patient：Here's my X-rays.
大夫：讓我看看，一切基本正常。只是這兒，你看，有點小問題。有一點骨裂。
Doctor： I'll just take a look at it. Everything is all right， except here， see it? There's a hairline fracture.
病人：這嚴重嗎?
Patient： Is it serious?
大夫：算不上嚴重。但是，這兩三週你最好不要去上班。儘量臥床休息Doctor： No. It's not very serious， but you should take two or three weeks off work， and rest in bed as much as possible.
病人：大夫，我是否需要服用點什麼藥呢?
Patient： Should I take some medicine， doctor?
大夫：是這樣，我會給你開一些草藥，這樣你的傷口會癒合得快一點。另外，你還需要服用一些口服藥。這是藥方。待會兒你拿到藥房去配藥。請按說明服藥。
Doctor： All right. I'll give you some herbal medicine to help you heal quickly. In addition， I will prescribe you some medicine for oral administration. Here is a prescription. Take it to the chemist's. please take the medicine according to the instruction.
病人：我需要上石膏嗎?
Patient： Will I need to be put in plaster?
大夫：不需要。藥方裡我給你開了一管藥膏。每天搽兩三次。
Doctor： No， it isn't necessary. I have presribed you a tube of ointment. Administer it two or three times a day.
病人：非常感謝您，大夫。
Patient： Thank you very much， doctor.
大夫：不客氣。再見!
Doctor： Not at all. Goodbye!
病人：再見!
Patient： Goodbye!
