tonsillitis/ 扁桃体发炎/ (biǎntáotǐ fāyán)

A: What's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable?

你怎么了,是身体不太舒服吗？

(nǐ zěnme le, shì shēntǐ bùtài shūfú ma?)

B: Yeah. My cold gave me a sore throat and this led to tonsillitis. Even drinking water hurts really bad. 

是的,我感冒引起了咽喉痛。导致扁桃体发炎,喝水都会感到非常疼痛。

(shìde, wǒ ɡǎnmào yǐnqǐle yānhóu tònɡ.dǎozhì biǎntáotǐ fāyán, hēshuǐ dōuhuì ɡǎndào fēichánɡ ténɡtònɡ.)

A: I recently saw a doctor say that eating an ice pop can help ease a sore throat. I've tried it and it works. You can try it too.

我最近看到有医生说吃冰棒可以缓解咽喉痛。我试了一下,挺有用的。你也可以尝试下。

(wǒ zuìjìn kàndào yǒu yīshēnɡ shuō chībīnɡbànɡ kěyǐ huǎnjiě yānhóutònɡ.wǒ shìle yīxià, tǐnɡyǒuyònɡde.nǐ yěkěyǐ chánɡshì xià.)

B: Really? That's great. I can't wait to try it. 

是吗？这真的太棒了。我迫不及待地想去试试了。

(shìma? zhè zhēnde tàibànɡle.wǒ pòbùjídàide xiǎnɡqù shìshìle.)

A: But while the doctor recommended that eating ice pops can ease a sore throat, you can't eat too many and you can only eat them when your digestive system is working normally. You have to pay attention to this.

不过医生建议虽然吃冰棒能缓解咽喉痛,但不可过量食用,而且必须在保证肠胃功能正常的情况下食用。这一点需要引起你的注意。

(bùɡuò yīshēnɡ jiànyì suīrán chī bīnɡbànɡ nénɡ huǎnjiě yānhóutònɡ, dàn bùkě ɡuòliànɡ shíyònɡ, érqiě bìxū zài bǎozhènɡ chánɡwèi ɡōnɡnénɡ zhènɡchánɡ de qínɡkuànɡxià shíyònɡ.zhè yīdiǎn xūyào yǐnqǐ nǐde zhùyì.) 

B: Okay. I'll pay attention. Thanks for letting me know. 

好的,我会注意的。谢谢你告诉我。
