时间：2019-02-14 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Silvia: What are you watching?
Hermann: I’m watching a show about the health problems in developing countries.
Silvia: Don’t we have enough healthcare problems here, in this country?
Hermann: We do, but there are countries that have a lot more acute problems than we do.
Silvia: Oh, those kids are so cute.
Hermann: Yeah, but a lot of them are going to die of malnutrition 1 and infectious diseases, things that are preventable.
Silvia: I thought the biggest problem was the spread of AIDS and HIV.
Hermann: Those are huge problems, no question about it, but a lot of people die of other preventable diseases, too, such as malaria 2, tuberculosis 3, and measles 4. Believe it or not, we’ve had immunizations for measles for over 40 years!
Silvia: That’s terrible. I can see why you’re studying medicine. I wish I could be a doctor.
Hermann: You could, but first, you’ll need to get over your fear of blood.
