无害的蚂蚁
A medical student doing a rotation in toxicology at a poison control center told this story to his local newspaper. “Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down, and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the Emergency Room right away.”
一名在毒控中心暂时从事毒理学研究的医科学生向当地一家报纸讲述了下面这个故事。
“今天，一个女人非常焦急地打来电话，因为她发现她的小女儿在吃蚂蚁。我便马上安慰她说，蚂蚁是无害的，因而没有必要把她的女儿送到医院来。她平静了下来，在要结束通话的时候，她顺带提到她给女儿服用了一些灭蚁药以便杀死那些蚂蚁。我对她说，那她最好立即把她女儿送到急诊室来。”
Dave: Do you think maybe it would be better to just talk to Vince? Explain the situation?
戴夫： 你觉得去跟文斯说会不会好一点？解释这整个情况？
Zina: No way. I want the satisfaction of 1) squishing this bug myself. Plus, what if it’s Vince?
吉娜： 门都没有。我要自己享受压扁这只虫子的满足感。而且若文斯就是那小子怎么办？
Dave: I don’t think so. Your admirer seems kind of sweet. Aren’t you even a little 2) curious about him?
戴夫： 不会吧。你那仰慕者似乎还蛮贴心的。难道你对他一点都不好奇？
Zina: He’s just a 3) distraction, like a mosquito buzzing in my ear. I want no distractions.
吉娜： 他只会让人分心，就像耳边蚊子嗡嗡叫。我才不要分心。
Dave: A little distraction might 4) do you some good, Zina.
戴夫： 稍微分点心或许对你有好处，吉娜。
