982　Are you ambulatory? 你是能走动的吗？

The phone by my hospital bedside was driving me crazy. Every hour or so it would ring. Because I was recovering from hip surgery, I couldn't reach it. Around midnight, it started ringing again. I noticed the light was on behind one curtain in my four-bed ward. “Excuse me,” I called out. “Are you ambulatory?” “No,” the answer came back. “I'm Mike.”

我的病床旁边的电话每隔一个来小时就响一次，简直要把我弄得发疯。我做了臀部手术还没有恢复，因此就够不到电话机。大约午夜时分，电话铃声又响起来了。我看到我们四人病房中隔着布帘有一盏灯亮着。我就喊他：“对不起，你是能走动的吗？”对方回答说：“不是。我是麦克。”
