雙語故事:假醫生

【英文原文】

Pretend doctor——假醫生

For several years, my job was to answer all viewer phone calls and mail concerning the daytime television soap operas our company produced. One day a woman called wanting medical advice from an actor who portrayed a doctor on one of our shows. I explained that the man wasn't a real doctor and couldn't help her.

After a moment of shocked silence, the woman replied indignantly, "Well, no wonder it takes his patients months to recover!"

【中文譯文】

幾年來，我的工作就是接聽觀眾打來的電話和回覆他們的郵件，他們是想了解我們公司出品的白天肥皂劇的一些情況。 一天，一位女士打來電話，要求我們一位在劇中飾演醫生的演員給他一些醫療上的建議。 我解釋說，那人不是真的醫生，幫不了她。

在一陣驚愕的沉默之後，那位女士很氣憤地說，“呃，怪不得他治病總要幾個月才能好”。
