389　Cross out “expert” 把“专家”两个字划掉

While working as a radiological technologist in a hospital emergency room, I took X-rays of a trauma patient. I brought the films to our radiologist, who studied the multiple fractures of the femurs and pelvis. “What happened to this patient?” he asked in astonishment. “He fell out of a tree,” I reported. The radiologist wanted to know what the patient was doing up a tree. “I'm not sure, but his paperwork states he is a tree expert.” Gazing intently at the X-rays, the radiologist blinked and said, “Cross out ‘expert’.”

我在一家医院的急诊室里当放射科技师。我给一个外伤病人拍X光片，然后拿去给放射科医生看。医生看到很多处股骨和骨盆的断裂，惊讶地问：“这个病人怎么啦？”我报告说：“他从树上掉下来了。”这个放射科医生想知道病人在树上干什么。我说：“我不敢肯定。不过病历上说他是一个林木专家。”医生专心凝视着X光片，然后眨眨眼睛说：“把专家两个字划掉。”
