地道美语听力播客752: 服用处方药（双语）

Paula: Okay, I’m off to bed. 
宝拉：好，我要去休息了。
Marcus: Wait a second. Where are you going with all of those pill bottles? 
马克斯：等一下，你拿着这些药瓶要去哪儿？
Paula: My doctor prescribed a couple of medications to help me sleep. 
宝拉：我的家庭医生给我开了一些药物帮助睡眠。
Marcus: Let me see those. You have four different medications here. This is a painkiller, this is a sedative, this is a tranquilizer, and this is a stimulant. 
马克斯：让我看看这些，你有四种不同的药物。这是止痛药、镇定剂、安定药、兴奋剂。
Paula: I don’t take that last one when I go to bed. 
宝拉：我睡觉时不吃最后那一种。
Marcus: You mean you take the first three every night? 
马克斯：你的意思是每晚吃前三种药？
Paula: Not every night. 
宝拉：不是每晚。
Marcus: I can’t believe that your doctor would prescribe all three of these medications just to help you sleep. This seems like overkill. 
马克斯：不敢相信你的医生竟然会给你开这些药仅仅为了帮你睡眠。这有点过量了。
Paula: I saw more than one doctor. They each gave me a different prescription. 
宝拉：我看过好几个医生。每个给我开不同的药。
Marcus: How do you know they won’t interact and produce side effects? 
马克斯：你怎么知道它们不会相互作用，或者产生副作用？
Paula: A doctor prescribed each one. I’m sure they’re safe. 
宝拉：一个医生开一种，我肯定它们是安全的。
Marcus: Yes, but does the left hand know what the right hand is doing? I’m confiscating these until you can talk to a doctor or pharmacist to make sure you won’t overdose by taking all three of these at one time. 
马克斯：是医生开的不错，但是一个人不知道另一个人的做法，也许会出现差错。我要没收这些药物，直到你跟医生谈话后，或者药剂师确定一次服用这三种药不会剂量过度。
Paula: But how will I fall asleep until then? 
宝拉：但直到那之前，我怎样入睡？
Marcus: You’re always telling me how boring I am. I’ll just regale you with stories of my youth. Let’s start at the beginning. My earliest memory is... 
马克斯：你总是说我有多么的无聊。我会讲年轻时的故事来愉悦你。让我们从头开始，我最早的记忆是……
