地道美語(yǔ)聽力播客928：過(guò)敏是不是疾病的一種

Bert: Doctor, give it to me straight. Is my medical condition serious?

伯特：醫(yī)生，直接說(shuō)吧，我的病很嚴(yán)重嗎?

Doctor: I suspect that your rashes and other symptoms are the result of allergies.

醫(yī)生：我懷疑你就出的疹子和其他的癥狀都是過(guò)敏引起的。

Bert: Allergies?! I thought I had some kind of serious disease.

伯特：過(guò)敏?我還以為我得了什么重病。

Doctor: Allergies can be serious. I’m going to give you tests to see what you’re allergic to.

醫(yī)生：過(guò)敏也可能會(huì)很嚴(yán)重。我要給你做一些測(cè)試，看看你是對(duì)什么過(guò)敏。

Bert: You mean I might have allergies to more than one thing?

伯特：你是說(shuō)我不只是對(duì)一個(gè)東西過(guò)敏?

Doctor: There are many kinds of allergies. Some people have food allergies and have adverse reactions when they ingest or even come near some types of food.

醫(yī)生：有很多過(guò)敏源。有人是食物過(guò)敏，他們只要吃了，甚至接近一些食物，就會(huì)有不良反應(yīng)。

Doctor: Other people have seasonal allergies to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds.

醫(yī)生：一些人有季節(jié)性過(guò)敏，對(duì)樹，草和種子的花粉過(guò)敏。

伯特：那就是說(shuō)我不能從事室外活動(dòng)。

Doctor: Many people are allergic to pets, most commonly cat or dog dander.

醫(yī)生：許多人對(duì)寵物過(guò)敏，大多數(shù)通常是貓和狗。

Bert: You mean I might have to move out of my house?

伯特：你是說(shuō)我得搬家嗎?

Doctor: If mold is detected in your home, you might need to move out temporarily while the mold is removed.

醫(yī)生：如果你家里有霉菌，你可能得暫時(shí)搬家，等到把霉菌都清除出去。

Bert: Are you sure I don’t have some kind of disease? I think I’d prefer that to allergies!
