The New Doctor
新来的医生
A woman went to doctor's office. She was seen by one of the new doctors, but after about 5 minutes in the examination room, she burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped and asked her what the problem was, and she explained. He had her sit down and relax in another room.
一个女人去看病。一个新来的医生为她诊察，可是进了诊疗室大约5分钟之后，她就尖叫着冲到大厅里。一位老医生撞拦住她问明情况，安排她坐到另一个房间里休息。
The older doctor marched back to the first and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Johnson is 67 years old, she has three grown children and eight grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant 1?"
然后老医生大步走到新医生面前质问道：“你有什么毛病没有？约翰逊夫人67岁了，有三个成年子女和八个孙辈。而你竟然对她说她怀孕了？”
The new doctor smiled smugly as he continued to write on his clipboard.
新医生一边继续填写自己的诊疗记录，一边洋洋得意地笑着说——
"Cured her hiccups 2 though, didn't it?"
“不管怎么样，我治好了她的打嗝，不是吗？”
