玛莎：啊，我牙疼!
George: It sounds like you’re in for a visit to thedentist.
乔治：看来你免不了要去看牙医了。
Martha: That would be the last resort. I hate goingto the dentist. I don’t like needles and the sound ofthe drill scares me to death. I’m hoping thetoothache will just go away.
玛莎：那将是最终的无奈之选。我讨厌看牙科。我不喜欢看到针头，还有那种钻牙的声音，都要把我吓死了。我希望牙疼能自行消失。
George: You really should get that checked out. Do you want me to make an appointment foryou with my dentist?
乔治：你真地需要检查一下你的牙。要不我给你约一下把我的牙医?qh] Martha: No, thanks. I haven’tseen a dentist in years and I don’t plan to now unless I have no choice.
玛莎：不用了，谢谢。我好多年不看牙医了。除非毫无选择，否则我不会破例的。
George: Years?! You haven’t been to a dentist in years? Haven’t you ever heard ofpreventive care? You’re supposed to get a dental cleaning twice a year.
乔治：好多年了?!你好多年不看牙医了?你没听说过要预防保健吗?你应该每年洗两次牙。
Martha: I don’t follow doctor and dentist guidelines like that. I brush my teeth every day.That’s good enough.
玛莎：我不会那样听从医生或牙医的指导。我每天刷牙。这就足够了。
George: No, it’s not. You should be flossing every day and rinsing your mouth with mouthwashto keep your teeth and gums healthy. If you haven’t been to the dentist in years, I’m notsurprised you didn’t know that.
乔治：不，还不够。你还需每天使用牙线、用漱口水漱口，以此保证牙齿和牙龈健康。若你真地多年不看牙医，我就不奇怪你对这方面的知识一所所知了。
Martha: Stop preaching! I’ll go to the dentist when I need to.
玛莎：停止说教!需要时我会看的。
George: Like now.
乔治：现在就需要。
Martha: Maybe. It doesn’t hurt that much anymore...
玛莎：也许吧。不像刚才那样疼了……
George: I never knew you were such a chicken.
乔治：真没想到你是个小鸡似的胆小鬼。
Martha: [makes a chicken noise] Bwauk, bwauk...!
玛莎：(学鸡叫)咕咕……咕咕……
