ESL Podcast 878 – Recovering from an Illness or Injury(在线收听) |
Julio: Hi, Aunt Louisa, it’s Julio. Paula: ...And Paula. I’m on the extension in the kitchen.
Julio: Anyway, we just wanted to call and wish you a speedy recovery. Get plenty of bed rest and take it easy. Avoid greasy or spicy foods and drink lots of liquids. You don’t want to become dehydrated.
Paula: Don’t listen to him. You need to stay active and not get in the habit of sitting around. You’ll recover faster if you get up and move around a lot.
Julio: That’s terrible advice. She needs rest and to eat right. You know what they say: “Feed a cold, starve a fever.”
Paula: What does that old adage have to do with anything? What you need, Aunt Louisa, is to alternate between a heating pad and an ice pack.
Julio: What are you talking about? Aunt Louisa has a bad cold.
Paula: What?! I thought she had a sore back!
