地道美語聽力播客928：過敏是不是疾病的一種

Bert: Doctor, give it to me straight. Is my medical condition serious?

伯特：醫(yī)生，直接說吧，我的病很嚴重嗎?

Doctor: I suspect that your rashes and other symptoms are the result of allergies.

醫(yī)生：我懷疑你就出的疹子和其他的癥狀都是過敏引起的。

Bert: Allergies?! I thought I had some kind of serious disease.

伯特：過敏?我還以為我得了什么重病。

Doctor: Allergies can be serious. I’m going to give you tests to see what you’re allergic to.

醫(yī)生：過敏也可能會很嚴重。我要給你做一些測試，看看你是對什么過敏。

Bert: You mean I might have allergies to more than one thing?

伯特：你是說我不只是對一個東西過敏?

Doctor: There are many kinds of allergies. Some people have food allergies and have adverse reactions when they ingest or even come near some types of food.

醫(yī)生：有很多過敏源。有人是食物過敏，他們只要吃了，甚至接近一些食物，就會有不良反應。

Bert: That sounds terrible. I hope I don’t have food allergies. I would have to restrict my diet.

伯特：太可怕了。我希望我不是食物過敏，不然，我就得限制我吃的飯了。

Doctor: Other people have seasonal allergies to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds.

醫(yī)生：一些人有季節(jié)性過敏，對樹，草和種子的花粉過敏。

Bert: That would mean I couldn’t do some types of outdoor activities.

伯特：那就是說我不能從事室外活動。

Doctor: Many people are allergic to pets, most commonly cat or dog dander.

醫(yī)生：許多人對寵物過敏，大多數(shù)通常是貓和狗。

Bert: Oh no, I’d have to get rid of my three cats or dog!

伯特：哦，不!我要和我的三只貓貓狗狗說拜拜了。

Doctor: You might also be allergic to dust mites, insect bites, or even mold spores in your home.

醫(yī)生：你可能對家里潛伏的塵螨，昆蟲叮咬，還有霉菌孢子過敏。

Bert: You mean I might have to move out of my house?

伯特：你是說我得搬家嗎?

Doctor: If mold is detected in your home, you might need to move out temporarily while the mold is removed.

醫(yī)生：如果你家里有霉菌，你可能得暫時搬家，等到把霉菌都清除出去。

Bert: Are you sure I don’t have some kind of disease? I think I’d prefer that to allergies!

伯特：你確定我沒生病嗎?我倒希望得病，不是過敏了。
