Pretend Doctor——假医生

For several years, my job was to answer all viewer phone calls and mail concerning the daytime television soap operas our company produced. One day a woman called wanting medical advice from an actor who portrayed a doctor on one of our shows. I explained that the man wasn't a real doctor and couldn't help her.

　　After a moment of shocked silence, the woman replied indignantly, "Well, no wonder it takes his patients months to recover!"

几年来，我的工作就是接听观众打来的电话和回复他们的邮件，他们是想了解我们公司出品的白天肥皂剧的一些情况。 一天，一位女士打来电话，要求我们一位在剧中饰演医生的演员给他一些医疗上的建议。 我解释说，那人不是真的医生，帮不了她。

　在一阵惊愕的沉默之后，那位女士很气愤地说，“呃，怪不得他治病总要几个月才能好”。
