一位老太太味覺不好,前来找医生诊治,但是没有按照医生的叮嘱吃药。复诊时,老太太埋怨药太苦、治疗效果不好。于是医生说,“看来你的味觉治好了,现在需要治疗你的听觉。”

An old woman came into her doctor’s office and told him her trouble.

“Doctor Johnson, I don’t feel like eating now, that’s because nothing has a taste for me. It’s been like this for long. In fact, since I caught a cold last month, I haven’t had a delicious meal. What can I do?”

“Here are some medicine, Mrs. Harris. Take three pills three times a day for three days and come back and see me in a week. But remember, eat the pills before three meals.”

Next week an upset Mrs. Harris came into Dr. Johnson’s office. “Doctor! I’m doing it just as you told me, but delicious food is still tasteless for me. I don’t know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! What do you have to say for yourself?”

“But when and how do you take these pills?” asked the doctor.

“At first, I took these pills three times a day, just before three meals.” continued the woman. “but these pills are too bitter(苦). So I had to take these pills after three meals.”

“Calm down, Mrs. Harris,” said the doctor soothingly. “Now that we’ve fixed your sense of taste, we’ll work on your hearing!”
