地道美语
A:What seems to be the problem?

B:I have a really bad toothache! My cheek is swollen and I can’t eat anything.

A:Let’s have a look. Hmmm. This doesn’t look too good. I think we may have to pull out your wisdom tooth. It’s pressing against your molars and that’s one of the reasons you are experiencing so much pain.

B:When you pull my tooth will you also have to extract the nerve and the root?

A:First we will take some x-rays and see what we’re dealing with. I also noticed a small cavity up front here, so you are going to need a filling.

B:I guess that’s what I get for not flossing or brushing my teeth three times a day.

A:It could be that, or maybe you are eating too many sweets. In any case, I’ll administer an anesthetic and you won’t feel a thing!

参考译文

A:你有什么问题？

B:我的牙很痛。我的脸肿了，我都没法吃东西了。

A:让我看看。看起来不妙。我想必须得将你的智齿拔掉。它压迫你的臼齿，那是你感到如此疼痛的原因之一。

B:当你拔牙的时候，你也得摘除神经和牙根吗？

A:首先我们得拍张x光，来看下该如何处理，我还注意到上前部有一个洞，所以你得补下牙。

B:那是我不用牙线或一天没刷3次牙而应得的后果。

A: 可能是那个原因，也可能是你吃了太多的糖。无论是那种情况，我都会用麻醉剂，那样你就感不到疼痛。
