交通事故频发，近年来因交通事故而去看医生的人也不在少数。下面就是一段因交通事故而进医院的病人与医生的对话。下面，我们一起去练习一下。
大夫：你哪里不舒服?
Doctor： What seems to be the problem?
病人：唉，我刚才过马路，正赶上一辆车从拐角处开过来。由于车速过快，等司机看到我再刹车时，已经太晚了。我被撞倒在地，从地上爬起来时，我发现我的左臂和肘部也被擦伤，并且现在我的肋骨有点痛。
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：让我检查一下吧。你哪儿疼啊?
Doctor： I'll just take a look. Where does it hurt?
病人：这很难说清楚，好象浑身都痛。
Patient： It's hard to say. It hurts all over.
大夫：我按这儿，你疼不疼?
Doctor： Does it hurt when I do this?
病人：哎呀!你一按这儿我就疼得要命。
Patient： Ouch! The pain is very bad when you press here.
大夫：你的.胳膊和肘部好象没什么问题。但是出于安全考虑，你还是最好去照一张X光片。片子照好之后，马上拿过来让我看看。
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，那么待会儿再见吧!
Patient： OK. See you later.
大夫：待会儿见!
Doctor： See you then!
病人：这是我的X光片。
Patient：Here's my X-rays.
大夫：让我看看，一切基本正常。只是这儿，你看，有点小问题。有一点骨裂。
Doctor： I'll just take a look at it. Everything is all right， except here， see it? There's a hairline fracture.
病人：这严重吗?
Patient： Is it serious?
大夫：算不上严重。但是，这两三周你最好不要去上班。尽量卧床休息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，我是否需要服用点什么药呢?
Patient： Should I take some medicine， doctor?
大夫：是这样，我会给你开一些草药，这样你的伤口会愈合得快一点。另外，你还需要服用一些口服药。这是药方。待会儿你拿到药房去配药。请按说明服药。
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：我需要上石膏吗?
Patient： Will I need to be put in plaster?
大夫：不需要。药方里我给你开了一管药膏。每天搽两三次。
Doctor： No， it isn't necessary. I have presribed you a tube of ointment. Administer it two or three times a day.
病人：非常感谢您，大夫。
Patient： Thank you very much， doctor.
大夫：不客气。再见!
Doctor： Not at all. Goodbye!
病人：再见!
Patient： Goodbye!
