纯正地道美语(外教讲解)255：牙痛

（单词翻译）

　　A:What seems to be the problem?
B:I have a really bad toothache! My cheek is swollen¹ and I can’t eat anything.
A:Let’s have a look. Hmmm. This doesn’t look too good. I think we may have to pull out your wisdom tooth. It’s pressing against your molars and that’s one of the reasons you are experiencing so much pain.
B:When you pull my tooth will you also have to extract the nerve and the root?
A:First we will take some x-rays and see what we’re dealing² with. I also noticed a small cavity up front here, so you are going to need a filling.
B:I guess that’s what I get for not flossing or brushing my teeth three times a day.
A:It could be that, or maybe you are eating too many sweets. In any case, I’ll administer an anesthetic³ and you won’t feel a thing!
 

　　swollen a.浮肿的
wisdom tooth n. 智齿
experience v.体验
extract vt.去掉，摘除
cavity n. 洞
to brush 刷牙
that is what one gets for 某人应得的
to administer vt.使用
 

　　A:你有什么问题？
B:我的牙很痛。我的脸肿了，我都没法吃东西了。
A:让我看看。看起来不妙。我想必须得将你的智齿拔掉。它压迫你的臼齿，那是你感到如此疼痛的原因之一。
B:当你拔牙的时候，你也得摘除神经和牙根吗？
A:首先我们得拍张x光，来看下该如何处理，我还注意到上前部有一个洞，所以你得补下牙。
B:那是我不用牙线或一天没刷3次牙而应得的后果。
A: 可能是那个原因，也可能是你吃了太多的糖。无论是那种情况，我都会用麻醉剂，那样你就感不到疼痛。
