（单词翻译）

 　　Lucinda: You look tired. Are you all right?

　　Elan: I’m fine. It’s this clinical trial I’m enrolled1 in. I’m suffering from some side effects.
　　Lucinda: Are they serious?
　　Elan: No, they’re not too bad. I was told to expect some adverse2 reactions in the first weeks of the pilot study. I guess that’s why only a small group of volunteers is taking part right now. It’s so they can judge the drug’s effectiveness before the pharmaceutical3 company does a large-scale trial.
　　Lucinda: At least you know you’re not in the group getting a placebo4.
　　Elan: Who knows? I hope not. If I successfully get through this first phase, I’ll get a full dose of the drug in phase two.
　　Lucinda: Then you may once and for all be rid of Podcaster’s Disease.
　　Elan: I really hope so. No one should go through life sounding like a podcaster.
　　Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
