Topic: At the Dentist 去看牙医

Mary: Hi Sam. What’s the matter? Are you in pain?

你好，萨姆。出什么情况了？你很疼？

Sam: Yes. I have a horrible toothache. I can hardly think straight.

是的，我牙痛得很厉害。我都不能仔细想事情了。

Mary: What is wrong? Do you have a cavity(n.洞,蛀洞)?

怎么了？你有蛀牙吗？

Sam: Yes. The last time I was at the dentist, he told me that Ineeded to get a filling.  He warned methat if I ignored the problem, it would only get worse.

是的。我上次去看牙医，他告诉我需要去补牙。他告诫我如果忽视这个问题，情况会越来越糟糕。

Mary: I take it that you chose to ignore your dentist’s warning. Whywere you so foolish? You could have avoided all the pain.

我明白了，你把对牙医的告诫当耳边风。你为什么这么愚蠢呢？你本可以不用遭这个罪的。

Sam: To be honest, I was afraid. I once had a terrible experience atthe dentist. I had to have a tooth extracted(v.拔，萃取) and it was sosore (adj.疼痛的). It hurt terribly.

实话说，我想是的。我曾经在牙医那里有很可怕的经历。我的牙必须要拨掉一个

Mary: Didn’t the dentist give you any medicine to stop the pain?

我完全理解你的问题，萨姆。不幸的是，你可能要做牙根管手术了。这可是个费用不底、历时长又很折磨人的手术。和这个相比，补一下龋齿就轻松多了。

玛丽，和你交谈后，我总要感觉好一些。
