病人： 醫生，你好。
Patient: Hi, Doctor.

醫生： 你好，請坐。你今天感覺怎麼樣？
Doctor: Hi. Please have a seat. How are you feeling today?

病人： 我有點不太舒服。可能是流感或是什麼，但我不清楚。
Patient: I am not feeling very well. Could be flu or something but I’m not sure.

醫生： 讓我看看。有沒有頭痛？
Doctor: Let me have a look. Do you have headache?

病人： 有。
Patient: Yes.

醫生： 有喉痛嗎？
Doctor: Do you have a sore throat?

病人： 有哦。我沒有咳嗽，但我的喉嚨很痛，而且我有一點頭暈。
Patient: Yes, I’m not coughing, but my throat hurts. I feel a little dizzy too.

醫生： 張開嘴巴，啊……
Doctor: Open your mouth, Ahh……

Patient: Ahh……

醫生： 你的喉嚨很紅。腸胃有不舒服嗎？
Doctor: Your throat is very red. Does your stomach hurt?

病人： 我有些作嘔的感覺。

醫生： 看來你患了流感。很多人現在都生病了，你要臥床休息，要多喝水。你對什麼
藥物敏感嗎？
