　　他是个好医生吗

　　An American visiting a remote¹ area² in South America became³ sick. "I have to see a doctor," he told a local⁴. "How can I know which doctor is a good one?"

　　一个在南美洲比较偏僻的地方旅游的美国人生病了。“我要看医生。”他告诉一个当地人，“我怎么知道哪个医生是个好医生呢？”

　　"It's easy," was⁵ the reply⁶. "Every time a doctor loses⁷ a patient⁸, it's our law⁹ that he must fly a balloon¹⁰ above his office."

　　“很简单，”当地人回答，“按照我们当地的规矩，每次医生治死一个病人，他必须在诊所上空放一个气球。”

　　So the American began his search¹¹. One doctor flew¹² 20 ballons, another 30. Finally¹³ the American found¹⁴ an office that was flying only five, and he went in.

　　于是美国人开始寻找。一个医生放了20个气球，另一个30个。最后，他终于找到了一家只有5个气球的诊所，就进去了。

　　"You will have to wait," the doctor told him. "For someone¹⁵ who only started practice¹⁶ yesterday, I've been very busy."

　　“你要等一会。”医生告诉他，“我昨天才刚刚开始行医，我一直很忙。”
