英語播客初級版 第255期(外教講解):牙痛

A:What seems to be the problem?
B:I have a really bad toothache! My cheek is swollen and I can’t eat anything.
A:Let’s have a look. Hmmm. This doesn’t look too good. I think we may have to pull out your wisdom tooth. It’s pressing against your molars and that’s one of the reasons you are experiencing so much pain.
B:When you pull my tooth will you also have to extract the nerve and the root?
A:First we will take some x-rays and see what we’re dealing with. I also noticed a small cavity up front here, so you are going to need a filling.
B:I guess that’s what I get for not flossing or brushing my teeth three times a day.
A:It could be that, or maybe you are eating too many sweets. In any case, I’ll administer an anesthetic and you won’t feel a thing!

A:你有什么問題?
B:我的牙很痛。我的臉腫了，我都沒法吃東西了。
A:讓我看看。看起來不妙。我想必須得將你的智齒拔掉。它壓迫你的臼齒，那是你感到如此疼痛的原因之一。
B:當你拔牙的時候，你也得摘除神經(jīng)和牙根嗎?
A:首先我們得拍張x光，來看下該如何處理，我還注意到上前部有一個洞，所以你得補下牙。
B:那是我不用牙線或一天沒刷3次牙而應(yīng)得的后果。
A: 可能是那個原因，也可能是你吃了太多的糖。無論是那種情況，我都會用麻醉劑，那樣你就感不到疼痛。
