Nurse： Mrs. Shi，are you thirsty? Would you like to drink some water?

护士： 石夫人，你口渴吗？喝水吗？

（The patient turned and smiled at the nurse. The nurse gave a glass of water to her，and helped her with the straw. Mrs. Shi drank the water.）

（病人回过头，笑笑。护士把水杯端上，吸管送到病人口边，病人喝着水。）

Nurse： Why aren’t you having lunch? Has your son brought your lunch yet?

护士： 你怎么还不吃饭?儿子还没送过来吗?

Patient： No. He works the early shift today and will not finish work until 3 pm. I told him yesterday that I would just buy something for lunch myself. I will go and get something from the dining room in a few minutes.

病人： 今天我儿子上早班，要下午3点才下班。昨天跟他说好了，我自己随便买点吃的，等一会儿我去食堂买就行了。

Nurse： Well，I can buy lunch for you after I fnish my work.

护士： 哦，我一会儿就下班了，我来帮你买饭好了。

Patient： No，No，I don’t want to trouble you too much. I’ll do it myself.

病人： 不要不要，太麻烦了，我自己去吧。

Nurse： It’s OK. You can’t see too well and I’ll be worried if you go out alone. What if you fall down on the way? I’ll going to give my off duty report now. Just wait for me.（At 11：40，the nurse brought the lunch to Shi Yingying.）

护士： 没关系的，你看东西不清楚，单独出去我也不太放心，若路上摔跤了，那可怎么办。我去交班，你等我噢！（11：40，护士端着饭菜来到石英英床前。）

Nurse： Mrs. Shi，you need food rich in vitamins. I brought you fried tomato with eggs，fresh vegetables and steamed fsh. Would you like them?（The patient sat up and looked at the nurse gratefully.）

护士： 石夫人，你需要多吃点富含维生素的食物。我买了番茄炒蛋、空心菜、清蒸鱼，希望你喜欢吃？（病人坐起身，感激地望着护士。）

Patient： They are all my favorites. Thank you very much.

病人： 喜欢，喜欢，真是太感谢你了。

Nurse： Don’t mention it. Next time don’t hesitate to tell me when you need help. By the way，I think it’s better for you to reserve your meals from the hospital cafeteria，so you don’t have to depend on your son to bring in your food. If the cafeteria meals are not to your tastes，let me know. I’ll contact the cafeteria to make a menu specifcally for you. Now，enjoy your lunch.

护士： 不用谢，下次碰到这种情况你尽管对我说好了。其实，你还是订医院的饭菜吧，这样就不用你儿子每餐都要记着来送饭。如果你觉得饭菜不合胃口，就对我说。让我来和营养室联系，为你另外配餐。好了，你慢慢吃吧。
