身临其境练一练

Desperate Housewives,《绝望主妇》

A: And knock wood, the doctors say I'll keep improving, slowly but surely. So, how are you?
甲：谢天谢地，医生说我会复原的，虽然很慢但肯定会复原。你最近还好吗？
B:Good, good. Seeing friends. I just started co-chairing a charity event for the Junior League and um, and I broke up with George.
乙：很好，很好。见见朋友我刚成为少年联盟慈善活动的联合主席。而且我和乔治分手了。
A: Really?
甲：真的？

B:Dr. Goldfine, do you ever really cure people, I mean, even though they're really crazy?
乙：古德范医生，你真的治愈过头脑发疯的人吗？我的意思是说，即使他们真的疯了。
A: I'm not a big fan of that word. People either have mental health or they don't. When they do have a problem, you treat them as if they had any other disease. And sometimes they get better.
甲：我不赞同你说的头脑发疯。人要么有精神问題，要么没有。当他们有问题时，你对待他们就像治疗其他病人一样。这样有时病情就会好转。
B: Well, when I broke up with George, I saw something in his eyes. It was a kind of malevolence, and it just didn't seem to me to be the sort of thing you could cure.
乙：当我和乔治分手时，我在他的眼里看到某些东西。那是一种类似恶意的东西，在我看来，这不是可以医治的.
A: I don't believe in evil either. We're all just people.
甲：我不相信人是邪恶的。我们是普通人而已。
B: How can you not believe in evil? A man just threw you off a bridge for no reason.
乙：你怎么能不相信邪恶呢？ 一个人刚刚毫无理由的把你从桥上丢了下去。

生活口语

A: How are you feeling?
A：你感觉怎么样?
B: I'm getting back on my feet. Hope I can up and run in a few months.
B：我的病正在好转。希望几个月后我就能活蹦乱跳的了。

A: I'm not gonna lie about it. Doing chemotherapy is hard, but I'm getting back on my feet.

A：我不想向你们撤谎。化疗真的很痛苦，但是我的病正在好转。
B: We're so glad to hear that.
B：我们听到这个消息真高兴。

重点讲解：

I'm getting better every day.
I'm getting back on my feet.
英文中表达"病情正在好转"，可以用get better every day，但是老外日常生活中常使用一个短语表达此意，即get back on one's feet，字面意思是"站起来了"，可引申为"好转，痊愈"
