醫(yī)囑
Once, an old gentleman went to see a doctor. Thedoctor examined him and said:"Medicine won't helpyou. You must have a complete rest. Go to a quietcountry place for a month, go to bed early, drinkmilk, walk a lot, and smoke just one cigar a day."
從前，一位老紳士去看醫(yī)生。醫(yī)生做完檢查，說道：“藥物對您沒用。您得完全休息。到安靜的鄉(xiāng)間去住上一個月，早點睡，喝牛奶，多散步，一天就抽一支雪茄。”
"Thank you very much," said the old gentleman, "Ishall do everything you say."
“多謝。”老紳士說，“我會照你說的做。”
A month later the gentleman came to the doctor again. "How do you do!" said the doctor, "I amvery glad to see you. You look much younger."
一個月后，老紳士又來到醫(yī)生這里。“您好!”醫(yī)生說，“很高興見到您。您顯得年輕多了。”
"Oh, doctor," said the gentleman, "I feel quite well now. I had a good rest. I went to bed early, Idrank a lot of milk, I walked a lot. Your advice certainly helped me. But you told me to smokeone cigar a day, and that one cigar a day almost killed me at first. It's no joke to start smokingat my age."
“啊，醫(yī)生，”紳士說，“我現在感覺很不錯。我休息得很好。睡得早，喝了很多牛奶，散步也很多。你的建議的確對我起了作用?？赡銓ξ艺f，每天吸一支雪茄，一開始真要了我的命。我這把年紀了，學著抽雪茄可不是開玩笑的事。”
