白領的一天:老朋友生病問候

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...

場景：昨天，Peter告訴朋友Jessica自己不舒服，現在，Jessica在問Peter關於他的病情。

J:Peter，你現在感覺好些了嗎？
P：謝謝關心，Jessica，我現在感覺好點兒了。
J：很高興聽到這個消息。
P：但是我討厭生病！這只是次感冒。
J：你最初是怎麼感冒的呢？
P：我通常會在冬轉夏或夏轉冬的時候感冒。
J：你是說這是規律嗎？
P：是的，通常是這樣。所以這次感冒，我並不感到意外。
J：你通常是怎麼趕走感冒的？
P：我通常會吃些感冒藥、多休息。除了喝水，我還會喝些檸檬汁。
J：你經驗挺豐富的。對我來說，每次感冒，我都不管它。
P：這不是最好的辦法…幸運的是，我還有2月份感冒時剩下的藥。
J：不過我會睡的很多，我覺得睡覺是最好的藥物。
