Carla: So, how are things going, Steve?

那么，你最近怎么样，斯蒂夫？

Steve: Well, to be honest Carla, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick Sunday afternoon. I thought I'd get better, but I feel worse than before. And I'm really worried because I'm scheduled to give a presentation at work on Friday, so I have to be better by then.

嗯，老实说，卡拉，我周六感觉挺不错的，但是周日下午就感觉病恹恹的。我以为我会好起来但是感觉比以前更糟了。我真是担心因为我工作安排周五有演讲，所以我到时候必须得好起来。

Carla: Well, what seems to be the problem?

嗯，你觉得是出了什么问题。

Steve: Well, I thought I had the flu, but the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some cold medicine to take care of my stuffy nose and fever. I'm supposed to take the medicine three times a day after eating, but it doesn't seem to help. He also told me to stay off my feet for a day or so, but I'm so busy these days.

嗯，我以为是流感，但医生说我只是严重感冒。他给了我一些感冒药治疗我的鼻塞和高烧。我应该饭后服用这些药物，一天三次，但是这些药没用作用。他还告诉我躺床上休息一天左右，但是这些天我真的很忙。

Carla: Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds. You see, my mom is really into herbal medicine.

听着，忘记那些药。我这里可有治疗重感冒的东西。你知道的，我妈妈特别喜欢中药。

Steve: Oh, no thanks.

哦，谢谢，不需要。

Carla: Ah, come on! Give it a try. You just take some of my mom's herbal tea and drink it four times a day.Believe me. You'll be up and dancing around in no time.

啊，得了，试试吧！你只需要和我妈妈制作的中药茶，一天和四次。相信我！第二天起床一准能活蹦乱跳的。

Steve: Dancing around in no time, right? Well, I guess. Nothing else seems to be doing the job.

立马就能好，是吧？那么，我猜，也只能试试了。

Carla: Great. I'll come by your place at 7:30. See you then.

好的，我七点半来你这里。到时候见。
