369　It's father's turn 轮到父亲了

I was on duty in emergency-room when a father brought in his son, who had poked a tire from one of his toy trucks up his nose. The man was embarrassed, but I assured him this was something kids often do. I quickly removed the tire and they were on their way. A few minutes later, the father was back in the ER asking to talk to me in private. Mystified, I led him to an examining room. “While we were on our way home,” he began, “I was looking at that little tire and wondering, how on earth did my son get this thing stuck up his nose and...” It took just a few seconds to get the tire out of Dad's nose.

我正在急诊室值班的时候，一个父亲带着他的儿子进来了。这个孩子把玩具卡车的轮胎塞到鼻孔里去了。这个父亲觉得很不好意思。我安慰他说，这是孩子们常干的事情。我很快把轮胎取出来，他们就走了。几分钟之后，那个父亲又回到急诊室，要求和我单独谈一谈。我疑惑地带他到一间检查室里。他开始说：“在回家的路上，我看着那个小轮胎觉得奇怪，我儿子究竟是怎样把这个东西塞到鼻孔里去的，然后……”我只用了几秒钟就把小轮胎从父亲的鼻孔里取出来了。
