Lesson 39 Am I all right? 我是否痊愈？ Why did Mr. Gilbert telephone Dr. Millington? While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so. The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone. When he was alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington. When the doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert. He asked if Mr. Gilberts operation had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been. He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hospital for another two weeks. Then Dr. Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient. No, the patient answered, I am Mr. John Gilbert. 参考译文 当约翰.吉尔伯特住院的时候，他问医生他的手术是否成功，但医生拒绝告诉他。第二天，这位病人要了一部床头电话。当房里只剩他一个人时，他挂通了医院的交换台，要求与米灵顿医生讲话。当这位医生接过电话时，吉尔伯特先生说他想询问一个病人的情况，是一位名叫约翰.吉尔伯特的先生。他问吉尔伯特先生的手术中否成功，医生告诉他手术很成功。然后他又问吉尔伯特先生什么时候可以回家，医生说他在医院还必须再住上两个星期。之后，米灵顿医生问打电话的人是否是病人的亲属。“不是，”病人回答说，“我就是约翰.吉尔伯特先生。” 一、New words and expressions 生词和短语 operation n. 手术 successful adj. 成功的 following adj. 下一个 patient n. 病人 alone adj. 独自的 exchange n. （电话的）交换台 inquire v. 询问，打听 certain adj. 某个 caller n. 打电话的人 relative n. 亲戚 operation n．手术 operate V． 1)操作，操纵（机器等），运作，运转( control，run) operate a machine操纵一台机器 operate the lift开电梯 例：This sewing machine doesnt operate properly. 这台缝纫机不太好用了。 2)经营，管理(run, manage) operate a company经营一家公司 例: The company operate ten factories. 这家公司管理十个厂子。 The business operate in various counties. 那家企业在许多国家都有业务。 3)动手术operate on sb for--为谁动手术 例 : The surgeon decided to operate on her for appendicitis(盲肠)promptly. 这个外科医生决定立刻为她做盲肠手术 physician 内科医生 operation n．手术，运转，操作 operation instruments 手术器械 例：I had an operation on my heart.. /I underwent an operation on my heart. 我做了一次心脏手术。 the operation of an old machine IH机器的运转 bring into operation /put into operati
