有一次我胸口部位很疼。
Now, I was sure it was heartburn, y'know, 'cause atthat time I was married and my wife cooking withher nazi recipies, y'know, chicken Himmler.
我想那一定是胃灼熱,因為那時我已經(jīng)結婚了,我妻子總是做那些納粹食譜給我吃,譬如“希姆萊子雞”。
I didn't wanna pay twenty-five bucks to have itreaffirmed by some medic, that I had heartburn. ButI was worried 'cause it was in the chestal area.
我不想付二十五美元讓醫(yī)生給我確診一下我是不是有胃灼熱。但是我又很擔心,因為那是在胸口部位。
Then it turns out my friend, Eggs Benedict, has a pain in his chestal area, in the same exactspot.
碰巧的是我朋友,他叫艾格斯·本尼迪克特(又是一種早餐名,“火腿蛋松餅”,也有用三文魚和烤面包等做的。) ,也在胸口的部位疼痛,完全是同一個位置。
I figured if I could get Eggs to go to the doctor, I could figure out what was wrong with me, atno charge, so I con Eggs.
我想要是我能讓艾格斯去看醫(yī)生,那樣我也知道我出了什么問題,不用花錢。于是我就騙艾格斯。
He goes. Turns out he's got heartburn.
他去了。結果是他有胃灼熱。
Cost him twenty-five dollars, and I feel great, 'cause I figured I beat the medic out of twenty-five big ones, y'know.
花了他二十五美元。我感覺好極了,因為我想我省下了整整二十五大元的就醫(yī)錢。
Called up Eggs two days later-he died.
兩天后我打電話找艾格斯——他死了。
I check into a hospital immediately, have a battery of test run and x-rays. Turns out I gotheartburn. Cost me a hundred and ten dollars.
我立即跑去醫(yī)院檢查,連番做了一系列化驗和透視,結果我得的就是胃灼熱?;宋?10美元。
Now I'm furious. I run to Eggs' mother, and I say: "Did he suffer much?"
我極其生氣,跑去找艾格斯的媽媽,我問她:“他死時有沒有遭很多罪?”
And she said: "No, it was quick. Car hit him and that was it."
她說:“沒有,很快。車子撞上他后,一下就過去了。”
