Russ: Why are you wheezing like that?
拉斯:你为什么气喘成那样?
Cheryl: I’m not wheezing. I’m just a little short of breath. My lungs feel like they’ve closed up.
谢丽尔:我不是气喘,只是有一点喘不过气来,我的肺就像堵塞了一样。
Russ: Maybe you should get that checked out. You could have asthma.
拉斯:或许你需要去检查一下,也许你有哮喘。
Cheryl: Do you really think so? My nasal passages have been stopped up, so I just thought I had a bad cold. My sinuses hurt, too.
谢丽尔:你真的这么认为?我的鼻腔有点不通畅,所以我认为自己仅仅是得了重感冒。我的鼻窦也有点疼。
Russ: I’m not a doctor, but you may have something more serious, maybe bronchitis or pneumonia. You need a chest x-ray or something.
拉斯:我不是医生,但是你的情况也许更严重,有可能是支气管炎或者肺炎。你需要做个胸透或者什么的。
Cheryl: Wow, so this could be something really serious?
谢丽尔:哇,那这样的话情况真的很严重啦?
Russ: Why do you sound hopeful that you have a serious condition?
拉斯:为什么听起来,你希望情况严重呢?
Cheryl: I’m not. That would be stupid.
谢丽尔:不是,那样就太愚蠢了。
Russ: And yet, you sounded positively giddy that you might be laid up for a couple of weeks. Does this have anything to do with your upcoming business trip to Abrahamville?
拉斯:不过,你看起来晕乎乎的,也许你需要卧床休息几周。你休息的话会不会影响到即将到来的去亚伯拉罕威尔的出差?
Cheryl: If you had to go to Abrahamville, wouldn’t you wish for an out, too – any out?
谢丽尔:如果你不得不去去亚伯拉罕威尔,那你会不会也希望折找个借口不去出差呢?
