Gail: Oh!
Mike: Are you okay?
Gail: Yeah, I’m just not used to these crutches 1 yet. The doctor said I should start using them if I ever want to get out of this wheelchair, but I don’t have the strength to stand up.
Mike: You’ll get the hang of it. Don’t lose heart.
Gail: It should be easy now that my arm is out of the cast, but it just seems impossible. I feel I’m going to lose my balance each time I try to stand up.
Mike: Try again, and this time lean on me and I’ll try to serve as your legs until you can find your balance.
Gail: I wish I didn’t feel so utterly 2 useless. It’s so frustrating 3!
Mike: I know. Just keep your eye on the ball and give it another try. The next thing you know, you’ll be limping along and then running a marathon. It’s just a matter of time before you get your mobility 4 back.
Gail: Yeah, right. Okay, first things first. Let’s see if these useless legs of mine will cooperate this time.
Script by Dr Lucy Tse
- Utterly devoted to the people,he gave his life in saving his patients.他忠于人民，把毕生精力用于挽救患者的生命。
- I was utterly ravished by the way she smiled.她的微笑使我完全陶醉了。
- It's frustrating to have to wait so long. 要等这么长时间，真令人懊恼。
- It was a demeaning and ultimately frustrating experience. 那是一次有失颜面并且令人沮丧至极的经历。 来自《简明英汉词典》
