A doctor examined his patient and said, "You should live to be ninety."

The patient sobbed，"Doctor, I am ninety. "

The Doc replied, "See? I was right."

Notes:

1. A doctor examined his patient and said, "You should live to be ninety."

一位医生在给他的病人做完检查后说：“你应该会活到90岁。”

句中"live to be ninety"的be可以省略，但加上be是表示一种状态，所以通常会加be。

2. The patient sobbed，"Doctor, I am ninety. "

sob [sɒb]v.呜咽着说…

3. The Doc replied, "See? I was right."

医生回答：“看吧?我说得没错吧?”

这里的"Sec?"在说的时候用升调，表示“明白了吧?”。如果要表示自己“明白，懂了”，则说：1 see.(我明白了。),这时用降调。
