新概念英語第二冊(含lrc文本)Lesson 48 Did you want to tell me something?
- 聽力原文
- 參考譯文
Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer. My dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton wool. He knew I collected match boxes and asked me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London. In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, but could not say anything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.

牙科醫(yī)生們總是在你無法作出回答的時候向你提出問題。我的牙科醫(yī)生剛剛給我拔掉了一顆牙，叫我休息一會兒。我想說點什么，但我嘴里塞滿了藥棉。他知道我收集火柴盒，于是問我收藏的米柴盒是否在增加。接著他又問我的兄弟近來如何，問我是否喜歡倫敦的新工作。作為對這些問題的回答，我不是點頭，就是發(fā)出奇怪的聲音。與此同時，我的舌頭正在忙著尋找剛拔掉的那顆牙的傷口。我突然非常著急起來，但卻什么也說不出來。當那位牙醫(yī)最后將藥棉從我嘴中取出時，我總算有可能告訴他，他拔錯了牙。
