Lesson 4 Do you have any alergies？

【Situation 场景】

本对话是lesson3中的对话延续。本会话中讲述的是药房的医生如何弄清病人的病情而且根据病情为病人开处方的整个过程，请认真学习对话中的医生是如何为病人开处方的。

本对话中，病人问了一些问题，医生作出回答，采用如下的句型来询问病人的情况：

"What……？"

"Will I……？"

"Is that……？"

"Are you sure……？"

对话中，医生重复使用了“Trust Me”让病人相信他。而且使用了：

"They'll block you off pretty quick"

“吃了这些药，你很快就会没事的。”

句中的pretty是副词，意为"considerably"，表示非常迅速、快之意。

"You must come straight back."

句子中，straight所表示的是：如果他（医生）所开的药不起作用，病人应该立刻回到药房来重新诊断。

【Dialogue 对话】

Patient: What's that？

Parmacist: It's a preparation called DIA-STOP. Take two with water now and then another before you go to bed. Then just one, morning, noon and night for three days after that. They'll block you off pretty quick. Now, it's improtant you don't eat anything for 24 hours-it's just go straight through you. You can drink water and nothing else for a couple of days.

Patient: No alcohol! Oh-

Pharmacist: And take these rehydration salts as well. Three a day in half a glass of bottled water, preferably not fizzy. The salts replace the minerals the diarrhoea has taken out- very important. Before you know where you are, you'll be as right as rain.

Patient: Will I? Is that all？

Pharmacist: That's all you need, I should say. Just trust me.

Patient: It doesn't seem much.

Pharmacist: No-but if all you have got is diarrhoea, I promise you it will work. If it doesn't work-and this is very important-you must come straight back here by this time tomorrow and we'll get a doctor to see you .

Patient: Are you sure that's all I need？

Pharmacist: Yes, Just trust me. Do you have any alergies？

Patient: No-not that I know of.
