地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客610:流行病

Rebecca: You look exhausted! Another tough day at the daycare center?

麗貝卡：你看起來(lái)很累，在日托中心有度過(guò)了辛苦的一天?

Puneet: Yeah, it was. This is a record year for the kids getting sick. The chicken pox is going around. Last year, it was the measles. The year before that, it was the mumps. This year, it’s the chicken pox.

普奈特：是啊，確實(shí)很累。今年是孩子們得病最多的一年?，F(xiàn)在水痘病菌流行，去年是麻疹，前年是腮腺炎

Rebecca: You sent the kids home, right?

麗貝卡：你要送孩子回家是嗎?

Puneet: Yeah, but today, a couple of the kids looked like they have pink eye, and I had to call their parents to let them know.

普奈特：是的，但是今天有幾個(gè)孩子的眼睛看起來(lái)變紅了，我必須打電話(huà)給他們的父母讓他們知道。

Rebecca: What happened to simple nosebleeds and earaches?

麗貝卡：只是簡(jiǎn)單的流鼻血和耳朵疼是怎么回事呢?

Puneet: Oh, we have kids with those, too, but it’s the contagious diseases that really take its toll. I’m not sure, but I think one of the little kids has strep throat, and a couple of the really little kids have croup. I wish there were a way to immunize all of them from every illness and disease out there.

普奈特：哦，我們也有孩子那樣，但是接觸性傳染病真的危害很大。我不是很確定，但是我認(rèn)為這些孩子中有一個(gè)患有膿毒性咽喉炎，有幾個(gè)小點(diǎn)的孩子患有哮吼。我希望有一種辦法可以讓他們所有人免受外面疾病的傷害。

Rebecca: Are you sure you’re working in a daycare center?

麗貝卡：你確定你在日托中心工作嗎?

Puneet: Yeah, why?

普奈特：當(dāng)然確定啊，為什么這么問(wèn)?

Rebecca: Because it just sounds like you’re working at the Center for Disease Control. Tomorrow, I suggest wearing a gas mask to work.

麗貝卡：因?yàn)槁?tīng)起來(lái)你像是在疾病控制中心工作。我建議明天穿防毒面具去工作。
