（单词翻译）

Victor: Oh, doctor, you’ve got to help me!

Doctor: Try to relax. What seems to be the problem?

Victor: I’m sneezing all the time, and my eyes are itchy and watery¹.

Doctor: Tilt² your head back so I can take a look at your nasal passages. You’re very congested.

Victor: My sinuses are killing³ me! I have headaches all the time and nothing I do seems to help.

Doctor: What is this on your skin?

Victor: I don’t know. I’ve had red spots all over my body.

Doctor: They look like hives to me. Are you experiencing any shortness of breath?

Victor: Well, my chest feels constricted⁴ and it’s hard to breathe.

Doctor: I think you may be experiencing a severe allergy⁵ attack. I’m going to refer you to an allergist. What were you doing right before you started experiencing these symptoms?

Victor: I started my first job.

Doctor: That could be your problem.

Victor: I knew it! I’m allergic⁶ to work!
