Laryngitis and Tumor of Larynx

Patient: My voice became hoarse for two days right after I delivered a relatively long speech at a meeting.

我在一次会议上发表了一个比较长的演讲之后，我的嗓子就开始变哑，到现在已经两天了。

Doctor: OK. Now let’s have a look at your larynx. Please stick out your tongue and pronounce “E…” Take it easy, and don’t hold your breath. Good. Now say ”E…” again. Well, you are suffering from typical acute laryngitis.

好吧，我们现在来看看你的喉部。请你伸出舌头来，发 E… 的声音。不必紧张，请不要憋气。好，现在再说 “E… ”。噢，你患的是一种典型的急性喉炎。

Patient: I noticed my hoarse voice a year ago and it became worse in the last few months. I spit some blood-tinged sputum during a fit of dry coughing last night.

我发现嗓子哑了已经一年了，近几个月来变得更重了。昨天晚上经过一阵干咳以后，还吐出来一些带血丝的痰。

Doctor: A pin-head-like nodule is growing out of the mid-third of your vocal cord. It’s so called “singer’s nodule”. I suppose it’s due to an excessive use of your voice.

有一个针尖样的结节长在你声带的中部三分之一的地方，这就是所谓的“歌唱家结节”。我想这是你过度用嗓子造成的。

Patient: I was choked repeatedly by fits of a violent dry cough.

一阵阵的干咳使我一回回地喘不过气来。

Doctor: A biopsy operation will be scheduled for you tomorrow morning. Please come here without taking any breakfast. A direct laryngoscopy will be done for you under local anesthesia.

明天早上为你安排了一个活检手术。请你来医院之前不要吃东西。将要给你在局麻下做一个直接喉镜检查。

Doctor: ( to the patient’s attendant) The patient’s condition is rather serious. He should be hospitalized for an emergency tracheotomy. We will try our best to prevent his suffocation.

病人情况很严重，他应该住院做紧急气管切开手术。我们要尽最大努力防治他窒息。
