Lesson 48 Did you want to tell me something? 你想对我说什么吗？ Why did the writer become very worried? Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer . My dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton wool. He knew I collected match boxes and asked me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London. In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, but could not say anything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth. 参考译文 牙科医生们总是在你无法作出回答的时候向你提出问题。我的牙科医生刚刚给我拔掉了一颗牙，叫我休息一会 儿。我想说点什么，但我嘴里塞满了药棉。他知道我收集火柴盒，于是问我收藏的米柴盒是否在增加。接着他又问 我的兄弟近来如何，问我是否喜欢伦敦的新工作。作为对这些问题的回答，我不是点头，就是发出奇怪的声音。与 此同时，我的舌头正在忙着寻找刚拔掉的那颗牙的伤口。我突然非常着急起来，但却什么也说不出来。当那位牙医 最后将药棉从我嘴中取出时，我总算有可能告诉他，他拔错了牙。 一、 New words and expressions 生词和短语 pull v. 拔 cotton wool 药棉 collect v. 搜集 collection n. 收藏品，收集品 nod v. 点头 meanwhile adv. 同时 pull 1) v. 拔（草，瓶塞，钉子等） ，拔掉，拉开 例 : I spent a whole day pulling weeds. 我花一整天时间来拔草。 pull out a nail 拔出钉子 pull out a stopper 拔出塞子 have the decayed tooth pulled out 请（牙医）拔掉蛀牙 pull out the wrong tooth 拔错了牙 eg.
