时间：2019-02-05 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Dr. Chung: Hello, Luis, I’m Dr. Chung. You’re here for a check-up and a cleaning, is that right?
Luis: Yes, that’s right.
Dr. Chung: Okay, let’s take a look. Have you had your wisdom teeth taken out?
Luis: No, I haven’t.
Dr. Chung: Hmm…You may need to do that soon. You’ve had a root canal?
Luis: Yes, about three years ago.
Dr. Chung: Does that hurt?
Luis: Ow!
Dr. Chung: I guess I hit a nerve. The bad news is that you may need another root canal soon. Let’s see if you have any cavities. Oh, I think there’s one here in your left molar. You’ll need to come back for a filling. Are you experiencing any sensitivity?
Luis: Yes, I am!
Dr. Chung: I’m not surprised. Your gums have receded 1 and some of the root is showing. Do you use dental floss?
Luis: Um, yes.
Dr. Chung: I’ll have the dental hygienist show you how to brush and floss better so you can prevent the buildup of plaque 2 and tartar. Any questions for me before the hygienist starts on your cleaning?
Luis: No, I’m just glad you didn’t say I need dentures!
Dr. Chung: No, you don’t. Not yet.
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- The floodwaters have now receded. 洪水现已消退。
- The sound of the truck receded into the distance. 卡车的声音渐渐在远处消失了。
