分类: 实用英语 

Philip: Molly, I need your special talent for handing special maters.

    Molly: Like what special matters?

    Philip: Well, I have a scheduling problem.

    Molly: Yes?

    Philip: I have three tonsillectomies set for Friday with Dr. Earl.

    Molly: Yes?

    Philip: I need to fit a fourth operation into his schedule. And……I know you can do it.

    Molly: Who's the patient?

    Philip: Carl Herrera. The boy has infected tonsils, and we should remove them as soon as possible.

    Molly: Well, I'll try to arrange th schedule, Dr. Stewart. But it's not going to be easy.

    Philip: I know you'll be able to take care of it.

    Philip: Well, Mrs. Herrera, Carl will be perfectly fine after we remove his tonsils.

    Mother: Thank you for your reassurance, Dr. Stewart. He's had so many colds and sore throats recently.

    Philip: Well, It's a very easy operation, Carl. You won't feel a thing.

    Carl: But when do they do it?

    Philip: This Friday.

    Carl: But Saturday's my birthday.

    Philip: Well, we could reschedule the operation, Mrs. Herrera, but I don't want to put it off too long.

    Mother: No, I think it's important to do it now. We can have a birthday party for you, Carl, when you come out of the hospital.

    Philip: Nurse Baker, would you come in, please?

    Molly: Come with me, Carl. You and I will talk this over.

    Mother: She has a special way with kids.

    Philip: She sure does.

    Molly: Carl, does your throat hurt?

    Carl: Yes.

    Molly: OK. Do you want to get better?

    Carl: Yes.

    Molly: OK. We want you to get better, too. You'll have your tonsils out tomorrow, and you won't get so many colds anymore.

    Carl: But if I have my tonsils out tomorrow, I'll miss my birthday party on Saturday.

    Molly: I know. It's a problem, isn't it? Let me try to work something out.

    Carl: What?

    Molly: I have to think about it.

    Carl: You're fooling me .

    Molly: Oh, I'm not, Carl. Give me a chance to think about it, and I'll come up with something.

    Carl: A surprise?

    Molly: Maybe. But you just put on your pajamas and robe, and I'll think of a surprise.

    Carl: Will it hurt?

    Molly: No. There are other boys and girls here, and they're having their tonsils out. You'll meet them.

    Carl: I don't want to.

    Molly: Change your clothes, Carl. Everything will be just fine.
