（单词翻译）

 　　My uncle tires1 too easily. He gets tired just using the TV remote2. Yesterday he went to Macy's. He went to the sixth floor. He said it took him a few minutes to get his breath3 back. I asked, "You got winded on the elevator?!" He said, "I didn't take the elevator. It's always too crowded, and you have to wait too long. I got winded on the escalator." I said, "Well, next time, don't walk up the escalator steps. Just stand there. The escalator will get you there eventually4." He said, "I did just stand there. I didn't walk up one step. But I had to walk from one escalator to another." I said, "You need to go see a doctor." He said, "I'm too tired to go see a doctor. I'm just going to wait till I pass out, and then they can carry me to a doctor."
