美語咖啡屋Shannon, Acupuncture Student
Shannon, Acupuncture Student
J: Hello I'm Jody. Welcome to American Cafe!
Y: 大家好！我是楊晨，歡迎到美語咖啡屋！Jody, 你知道嗎？我昨天搬東西，脖子今天特別疼！
J: You look like you're in pain.
Y: 沒錯(cuò)！
J: You have to be careful when you're moving stuff. What have you done to make it feel better?
Y: 我吃了兩顆止疼片兒。不過好像沒什么用！
J: Maybe you should think about getting some acupuncture?
Y: No, no, no! 我最害怕針。
J: Well, don't worry. On today's show our guest is Shannon and she is an acupuncture student. And she used to be afraid of needles too.
Y: 好，我們來認(rèn)識一下Shannon.
實(shí)錄1: Shannon: Hi, my name is Shannon and I'm currently studying acupuncture in the Washington DC metro area. And it's really different from anything else I've ever done before. And I love it.
Y: Shannon是什么時(shí)候開始對針灸感興趣的呢？
J: Well, she lived in China a number of years ago and there she watched people get acupuncture often.
Y: 沒錯(cuò)，因?yàn)獒樉脑谥袊呛芷毡榈摹Ｋ院芏嗤鈬说街袊院缶烷_始對針灸產(chǎn)生了興趣。
J: That's what happened with Shannon and that's where she got over her fear of needles. Let's hear more from Shannon.
實(shí)錄2: Shannon: Um, I lived in China a number of years ago and I'd watch people get acupuncture. But I was very scared of needles then. So, it took me a couple of years before I wanted to try, um, getting acupuncture myself. And I had some incredible experiences with it.
Y: 她剛才說的incredible experiences是什么呢？
J: One of Shannon's incredible experiences was after a car accident. She was very shaken up. So she went in and had an emergency acupuncture appointment. Shannon says that it only took five minutes for the seven needles to help her feel like herself again and help her deal with the accident.
Y: Shannon在接受針灸治療之前是不是就not feeling like herself?
J: Right. She wasn't feeling normal. She didn't feel right. She was crying, shaking and generally just freaking out.
Y: Freaking out在這里是情緒失控的意思。
J: Again here's Shannon.
實(shí)錄3: Shannon: I was in a car accident a while ago and feeling very shaken up after the car accident. And I went to an emergency acupuncture appointment. And they put just like seven needles in my back. I felt everything swish in and out of me. I had felt very scattered before, and after these seven needles and five minutes I felt like myself again ... I stop crying. I stopped shaking ... stopped freaking out. I felt much more like myself.
Y: Jody 我聽說針灸在美國開始流行起來， 不過沒有進(jìn)入主流醫(yī)學(xué)領(lǐng)域。
J: Acupuncture in the United States is not yet considered mainstream. But it definitely is becoming more and more common. According to Shannon, people in the United States are more intrigued than skeptical about acupuncture. Again, here is Shannon.
實(shí)錄4: Shannon: I think they're more intrigued than skeptical. Um, so many people I've talked to here know of somebody who has been to acupuncture, or they're in it or their child's in it or they want to go. Um, so I think there's definitely high demand in the States for that.
Y: 現(xiàn)在人們對針灸的興趣的確越來越大了。那從事這一行賺不賺錢？
J: That's the good part. According to Shannon, the medium, or average, salary right out of school is about $70,000 a year! And that's just for a normal, regular schedule!
Y: 真的？一出學(xué)校一年就能賺七萬美元? 很不錯(cuò)！
實(shí)錄5: Shannon: I guess the medium salary right out of acupuncture school is like $70,000 a year. And that's not, you know, that much overtime...that's just kind of like a normal schedule.
Y: 針灸現(xiàn)在很熱門收入也恨不錯(cuò)。 你說我也去學(xué)針灸怎么樣？
J: Yang Chen, you faint at the sight of needles!
Y: 這個(gè)很容易克服。
J: Yang Chen, I think you should do whatever you are passionate about.
Y: 那Shannon是不是對針灸有很大的熱情呢？
J: Let's hear from Shannon.
實(shí)錄6: Shannon: I've been wanting to do it for years. And now I think this is where I'm going professionally. I had thought I would study acupuncture after having the, like, logical career in Chinese Studies. And then a couple of years ago I had that realization of life is short so why don't I do what I'm really passionate about right now.
Y: Shannon 說的沒錯(cuò)，"Life is short."生命是短暫的。所以你想做什么就做什么，千萬不要猶豫。好，謝謝大家收聽沒語咖啡屋，我們下次節(jié)目再見！
J: See you next time on American.
