Не самая приятная тема для обсуждения, но, как показала недавняя эпидемия гриппа, весьма жизненная. Тем более, что и лето не за горами, а летом в путешествии возможны неожиданности. Мы надеемся, что Вам не понадобится объясняться с врачом по-английски, но, как говорится, "Hope for the best but be ready for the worst". So let's get ready!
Начнем с вопроса, который задаст Вам врач (как всегда, здесь возможны варианты): "Что с Вами?Что случилось?"
What's the matter with you? / What's wrong with you? / What's the trouble?
Здесь Вам представляется возможность пожаловаться на всевозможные беды,тем более что по-английски это сделать проще, чем по-русски: Вам нужна лишь одна структура "I have".
I have a sore throat. У меня болит горло.
a headache/toothache/earache. болит голова/зубы ухо.
a temperature. температура.
a cough/ runny nose. кашель/насморк.
a rash. сыпь.
a burn/wound. ожог /рана.
a chill. Меня знобит.
Есть еще одна универсальная фраза: There's something wrong with my arm/leg/eyes. (Кстати, эту же фразу Вы можете использовать и в других ситуациях: что-то случилось с машиной, магнитофоном и т.д.). Полезна и такая фраза:
I can hardly breathe/walk/swallow - я с трудом могу дышать /ходить/ глотать. Скорее всего врач далее поинтересуется, как долго это у Вас продолжается.
How long have you been like this?/How long have you had it?/ Since when have you been feeling like this?/How long has this been going on?
Возможно также он захочет:
totakeyourtemperature - измерить температуру
to take your blood pressure - измерить давление
to listen to your heart and lungs - послушать сердце и легкие
to have your blood-count taken - чтобы Вам сделали анализ крови
to have your knee X-rayed - чтобы Вам сделали рентген колена
После чего Вы услышите диагноз. Скорее всего, врач начнет так: "I think..."/"I should
think..."/"You seem to...". He подумайте, что Вам достался неуверенный в себе новичок, просто английский язык гораздо менее категоричен,чем русский. Итак, диагноз:
I should think you've got flu/mumps/measles. Думаю, у Вас грипп/свинка/корь.
you've caught a cold. Вы простудились.
Конечно, Вы спросите, что же Вам теперь делать:
What should I do?/What ought I to do?/What do you think I should do?/What do you advise?
Как известно, грипп можно вылечить за неделю, а если не лечить, он пройдет за семь дней. Поэтому классический совет - полежать. You'd better stay in bed for a few days. Возможно, врач выпишет Вам рецепт на лекарство: Here's a prescription for you.
Подобный диалог может состояться и в других ситуациях: кому-то стало плохо в самолете, на пляже или при легком недомогании Вы хотите купить в аптеке какое-то средство. В любом случае, эти слова и выражения окажутся полезны.
