UNIT 22: EMERGENCIES

Part 1: Illness

Cihui, I don’t feel very good.
Where does it hurt? Are you sick? Do you want to go to a hospital to see a doctor?
My head hurts, I’m nauseous, and I feel like throwing up. I’m weak all over and I may have a fever. Maybe I caught a cold. I don’t think I need to go to a hospital. If I rest for two days then I should be all right.
There’s now a huge change in temperature from morning to evening. The minute you’re not careful, it’s easy to catch cold. If you don’t get better, it could even turn into pneumonia. I think you had best go to a hospital to see a doctor. Comrade, this friend of mine is ill. She can’t speak Chinese very well. Could you find her a doctor who understands English?
Wait just a moment. That doctor is busy right now.
