白领的一天:老朋友生病问候

　　Scenario: yesterday Peter told his friend, Jessica, that he didn't feel very well. Now Jessica is asking Peter about his illness.

　　J: Peter, are you feeling any better?

　　P: Thanks for asking Jessica I am feeling quite a bit better now.

　　J: I am glad to hear that.

　　P: But I hate being sick! It was only a cold.

　　J: How did you get that cold in the first place?

　　P: I normally get a cold when the season changes from winter to summer or from summer to winter

　　J: You mean, it follows a certain pattern?

　　P: Yes, it always happens. So I am not surprised about getting this cold now.

　　J: So what do you usually do to fight the cold?

　　P: I normally take cold tablets and rest a lot. Also I drink flat lemonade as well as water.

　　J: You are experienced. As for me, every time I come down with a cold, I just leave it there.

　　P: That is not the best way to do things... I was lucky though because I still had some medicine from when I was sick in February

　　J: But I do sleep more, as I believe, sleep is the best medicine...

　　场景：昨天，Peter告诉朋友Jessica自己不舒服，现在，Jessica在问Peter关于他的病情。

　　J:Peter，你现在感觉好些了吗？

　　P：谢谢关心，Jessica，我现在感觉好点儿了。

　　J：很高兴听到这个消息。

　　P：但是我讨厌生病！这只是次感冒。

　　J：你最初是怎么感冒的呢？

　　P：我通常会在冬转夏或夏转冬的时候感冒。

　　J：你是说这是规律吗？

　　P：是的，通常是这样。所以这次感冒，我并不感到意外。

　　J：你通常是怎么赶走感冒的？

　　P：我通常会吃些感冒药、多休息。除了喝水，我还会喝些柠檬汁。

　　J：你经验挺丰富的。对我来说，每次感冒，我都不管它。

　　P：这不是最好的办法…幸运的是，我还有2月份感冒时剩下的药。

　　J：不过我会睡的很多，我觉得睡觉是最好的药物。
