实战口语情景对话 第105期:感冒药 Cold Remedy

 Todd: OK, hey, Marion, how are you feeling today? 嘿，你今天感觉怎么样？

Marion: I'm realy tired. Kind of, I don't know, my throat's really scratchy, so maybe I'm coming down with something. 我觉得很疲劳。我不清楚，我的喉咙很刺痛，也许我得了什么病。

Todd: Oh, no. That's terrible. Are you taking anything for it? 不。这太糟糕了。你吃药了吗？

Marion: Actually, I am. I had a private student last night and she told me some wild formula to do. And she asked me to take coca-cola, boil it, add some ginger¹, and then drink it, however, I'm caffiene sensitive so it kept me up pretty much all night, so I'm really tired today. 其实，我吃了。我的一个学生昨晚私下告诉我一些秘方。她要我用可口可乐煮姜，然后喝掉这些姜汁可乐，但我对咖啡因很敏感，所以我一整完都睡不着觉，所以今天感觉很疲劳。

Todd: How did it taste? 姜汁可乐喝着口感如何？

Marion: It wasn't bad. If it was probably mid-afternoon, I would love it, but 11:30 at night it kept me up. 味道不差。如果是中午的话，我肯定很爱喝，但晚上11:30喝酒睡不着了。

Todd: Oh, no. 哦，不。 Marion: Yeah. 是啊。 Todd: Are you going to try it again, but maybe in the morning? 你还想再喝吗，换成早上喝？

Marion: No I think I'm just going to stick with the regular cold syrup², and just take that. 不，我想我还是喝普通的感冒糖浆好了。 Todd: Yeah, that stuff tastes terrible. 但是糖浆味道很差。

Marion: It does.But a plenty of water afterward³. It is all right. 没错。喝完感冒糖浆后得喝很多水。没关系。
