What are your symptoms?

看医生的时候,医生通常会问病人:What are your symptoms?(你的症状是什么?)一般的症状如:头痛(Headache)、没胃口(Loss of appetite) 、喉咙痛(Sore throat)等等,下次要懂得如何告诉医生自己的症状。

对 话

Doctor: So tell me, what are your symptoms?

Patient: Well doctor, at the beginning of every week I wake up with a sense of dread, a headache, my legs are shaking and I feel depressed.

Doctor: Ah! They are all classic symptoms of Mondaymorningitis.

Patient: Can you cure me? It sounds very serious.

Doctor: It means you don't want to go to work. Now get out of my office you lazy-bones, I've got some real patients to see.

医生:告诉我你的症状是什么?

病人:医生,每个星期的开端,我起床时感到畏惧和头痛,双腿发抖,觉得很沮丧。

医生:哦!这些都是‘周一早上懒惰症’的典型征候。

病人:可以医治吗?听来很严重。

医生:你只是不想上班,出去吧,你这个懒骨头,我要替真正的病人看病。

医生听病人说了症状之后戏言:They are all classic symptoms of Mondaymorningitis.(这是‘周一早上懒惰症’的典型征候)。字尾-itis指‘炎症’,例如bronchitis(支气管炎)、cystitis(膀胱炎)、hepatitis(肝炎)等。俗语常把-itis加在一些名词之后,表示在某事物上的病态倾向,例如:He suffers from televisionitis/creditcarditis(他患了电视沉迷症/信用卡滥用症)。

Symptom是‘征兆’,例如:Repeated demonstrations are a clear symptom of the people's discontent.(示威运动此起彼落,是民众不满的明显征兆)。医学上,symptom是指症状,例如:A fever is a symptom of illness.(发烧是病征)。医生问病,一般会说:Can you describe your symptoms/problem?(你可以说说你的症状/问题吗?)或What are your symptoms?(你的症状是什么?)或What seems to be the matter/problem?(你觉得有什么不适?)或What is wrong?(哪里不舒服?)或What brings you here?(为什么要看医生?)

医生问病人的问题,常见的还有:(1) How long have you had this problem?/How long have you been suffering from this?(你发生这个症状多久了?)(2) Have you had this problem before?/Have you suffered from this before?(以前患过这种病吗?)(3) Is there a history of asthma/heart disease/cancer/diabetes/schizophrenia in your family?(家族有没有哮喘/心脏病/癌症/糖尿病/痴呆症的病历?
