One friend is encouraging another to see a dentist.
一个人在鼓励他的朋友去看牙医。
A : Hi, Mike. What’s new?
B: What’s wrong with you? Your face is swollen. You look terrible!
A : My jaw aches. I don’t know why.
B: Let me take a look. No wonder it hurts! One of your teeth looks decayed. You’d better see a dentist right away.
A: Do you think I have to? I’ve been putting it off for weeks. To tell the honest truth, dentists scare me to death. I get cold feet when I have to go to one. Even thinking of it makes me shake.
B: Don’t be silly. You’d be better off seeing one. I’ll make an appointment for you. Only a fool is afraid of the dentist!
A: Okay. I might as well go. But find me one who doesn’t hurt!
B: Come on. I’m your best friend. You can count on me. There’s nothing to be afraid of.
A: Well, if you say so, I’ll take your word for it.
