D=Doctor，P=Patient

D: Well, Mr. Longwood, you’ve been having trouble with your bowels for a long tim e. The last time you came to hospital,we did an X-ray and this showed that there is a growth(肿瘤，癌症) which is causing the bleeding.

P: Is it serious, Doctor?

D: It will be if we leave it, so I would recommend you to have an operation to remove the growth. You will be in hospital for about two to three weeks and then we’ll see you for regular check-ups.

P: Aren’t I too old to have an operation?

D: Oh, no. Age is no bar to surgery these days. We consider each patient individually. Some patients are young at ninety and others are old at sixty.

小白老师说：这位医生对患者的回答既科学又颇有哲理：“年龄不是手术的障碍。我们要考虑每个病人的具体情况。有些人90岁了还很年轻，而有些人才60岁就垂垂老矣。”

P: I won’t have to have a bag, will I?

小白老师说：to have a bag指结肠造口术后应用粪袋收集肠道排泄物。注意“I won’thave to …，will I? 我们可以看到这个句子是否定陈述句，随后的肯定疑问句尾的表达方式，这说明病人希望得到否定答案，他希望医生加以保证。大家在听的时候请注意把握该患者的语气和情绪。

D: Fortunately, not. After the operation you should have no trouble with your bowels.

P: Shall I need any other kind oftreatment?

D: No. The operation should clear up（去除） the trouble. So I’ll write to your doctor and tell him we are bringing you into hospital to have an operation. I shall probably see you inthe ward in about ten days’ time.

P: Thank you, Doctor.
