Seeing a Doctor

Doctor Waston: You said on the phone that you were feeling unwell. What's wrong?
Mr. Wilson: I don't feel good, Doctor. I don't seem to have any energy.

Doctor Watson: Can you be more specific?
Mr. Wilson: I feel tired all the time, yet I have trouble sleeping.

Doctor Watson: Do you eat well? How's your appetite(胃口)?
Mr. Wilson: I probably don't eat well. I eat a lot of fried foods. I don't eat enough fresh vegetables.

Doctor Watson: You've gained some weight since I last saw you. Do you exercise?
Mr. Wilson: I'm not as active as I used to be. I'm at my office all day long. I have my own business, and I work pretty hard at it.

Doctor Watson: I suspect maybe you work too hard at it. Take off your coat and roll up your sleeve(袖子), please. I want to check your blood pressure(血压).
Doctor Watson: Your blood pressure is high. It's nothing to be alarmed about yet. But I 'm going to restrict your salt intake(摄入) and ask you to exercise more. Are you short of breath at all?

Mr. Wilson: I sometimes get dizzy after climbing stairs. I probably should give up smoking.
Doctor Watson: You're still smoking! You don't sleep well, you don't exercise, and your diet is terrible!

Mr. Wilson: What can I do?
Doctor Watson: You can start by taking your health more seriously than you have been. I'm going to give you a diet plan, I want you to stick to it.

Mr. Wilson: It's hard to stick to a diet with my busy schedule.
Doctor Watson: Your health is more important than your business. Try to exercise more. I know it's hard to find the time, but you can at least start walking more. How about joining a swimming club? Swimming a few times a week is the best exercise you can get. And it’s a good idea to stop smoking. I'd rather not give you any drugs, but I'll give you a prescription(处方) for something that will help you to sleep.

Mr. Wilson: Thanks a lot, Doctor. I appreciate(感谢) what you're saying and doing.
