Lesson 3 Have you taken anything for the headache？

【Situation 场景】

下列对话其实也是lesson2中的对话的延续，讲述的是医生询问病人病情的对话。在该对话中，医生通过询问获取病人的病情以及根源。

医生接着问了不同的问题以便作出正确的诊断。在对话中，医生使用如下常用表达方式，请您试着学习这些问题的提问方式：

"Are you……？"

"Have you……？"

"Can I……？"

"Do you……？"

在如下对话中，您将看到couple一词的使用方法，即构成“couple of”这样的短语，表示“许多”。如：

eg： A couple of days. 几天

eg： A couple of paracetamols. 一些扑热息痛（一种解热镇痛药）

eg： A couple of minutes. 几分钟

请大家注意医生的话。他说：

"I think you've probably just eaten something a bit rich for you."

“我想，您可能是吃了太多过于口味较重的东西了。”

本句中，rich一词指含有太多不同增味剂、佐料等的东西，所以，这里的rich food总是让人感觉到口味较重。

接着，医生还使用了“Have you taken……？”的问话方式，是现在完成时句子表达式，这也是英语口语常用的表达方式，表示“你是否吃过……？”等含意。

【Dialogue 对话】

Pharmacist: Are you drinking plenty of water-bottled water?

Patient: I've had a few sips of water-I feel terribly thirsty. Pharmacist： Have you taken anything? Did you bring anything with you from home？

Patient: I've only got these indigestion tablets.

Pharmacist: Can I see you the packet？

Patient: Here they are, look.

Parmacist: Have you taken anything for the headache?

Patient: I've taken a couple of paracetamols for the headache. That's all.

Parmacist: Do you feel tired?

Patient: Worn out. I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Parmacist: Well, I think you've probably just eaten something a bit rich for you. You know-you are not used to it. I'm sure you'll be all right in a couple of days with what I'm going to give you.
