Dr Evans: Good afternoon, Chloe. I'm Dr. Evans. What seems to be the problem?
Chloe: Hi, Dr. Evans. Thanks for seeing me on such short notice. When I woke up this morning, I had a really sore throat and a really bad cough. I think I'm coming down with the flu. (之前的播客提到过这样的用法)
Dr Evans: Ah, I see. Yes, you do sound rather croaky. Well, let's have a look, shall we? Could you please open your mouth and say "ah"?
Chloe: Ah.
Dr Evans: Good, yes. Your tonsils are a little swollen and red. How are your ears? Blocked at all?
Chloe: A little, actually. My sinuses are a little blocked up as well. I really feel terrible.
Dr Evans: Okay, Chloe. Can you please breathe in and out slowly for me while I listen to your chest? ... Wow, you really are all bunged up. You don't sound too good at all. Okay. I'm going to set you up with a bunch of antibiotics抗生素. You will need to take these orange pills twice a day, and these blue pills every evening. You will also have to take this cough medicine three times a day, after meals. Finally, I am giving you an inhaler吸入器 to use every time you feel breathless, just to clear up your lungs.
Chloe: Whoa, so many drugs. Ah, I hate swallowing pills. Am I able to go to work?
Dr Evans: Absolutely not. You're highly contagious. You don't want to infect the rest of your coworkers, do you? I recommend staying in bed for at least three daysand drinking plenty of fluids, so you don't get weak and dehydrated脱水. You can catch up on补做 all the latest TV shows and movies.
Chloe: Okay. Would you mind writing me a doctor's note for work? Otherwise, they may think I'm faking it.
Dr Evans: Haha, sure. No problem. Here you are. Now off home and away to bed. If you have any questions, just give me a call. Feel better soon, and take care.
Chloe: Thanks, Doc. Bye bye.

Marco: All right, so talking about illnesses and being contagious, we mentioned this pink eye illness before. So this is the colloquial口语的 way of saying conjunctivitis, which is—I don't know if anyone has ever gotten it—your eye gets very, very red for a prolonged长期的 period of time.Catherine: That's right, and it itches a lot. Catherine: And so already your eye is very red or very pink, like the name says, but you really want to scratch it and itch it, and it's really hard not to.Marco: Yeah. And I think you treat it by means of some eye drops.Catherine: Yeah, and you have to wait.Marco: I actually had a very bad case of pink eye once that I couldn't just clear up with drops. But the doctor gave me some eye drops—they were so strong that I put them in my eye and I can taste them.Marco: I can taste them? Yeah. So apparently, yeah, it's very strange. And it wouldn't clear up. So then I had to get some kind of like a clear gel put in my eye, and my eye patched up for like two days. so I was running around with one eye. It was crazy.Catherine: I've never had it, but I know that it's very, very contagious, like we were saying earlier. And so if a student at a school gets pink eye, all the parents get very nervous because it's very likely that he or she will give it to another person. Because you know kids—if you touch your eye and you touch someone else, all of a sudden they have this disease. Marco: Exactly. So yeah, it's very common. And I think with especially with kids, they always get all these things: pink eye, measles, they get chicken pox. A lot of different diseases. We actually have a lesson on chicken pox. You guys should check that one out.🩺 conjunctivitis —— 结膜炎（医学术语）
