Peter:
I have a terrible toothache.

我牙痛得厉害。
Dentist:
Which tooth is it?

哪颗牙?
Peter:
(Pointing) This one here.

(指指)这一颗。
Dentist:
Ah, yes. There’s a big cavity.

啊,是的。有个大洞。
Peter:
Can you fill it?

能补吗?
Dentist:
I’m afraid not. The tooth is too far gone. It’ll have to be taken out.

恐怕不行。坏得太厉害了。只好拔掉了。
Peter:
Then I might as well have it out now.

那还不如现在就拔呢。
Dentist:
You’d better wait. The gums are swollen. Take the medicine I prescribe and come back in three days.

还是等等吧。牙床肿了。吃我给你开的药,三天以后再来。
