So, I went to the doctor at the end of last week, and the doctor said that I needed to take these antibiotics, that I have a bacterial infection, and I needed to get some throat lozenges.

所以，上週末我去看了醫生，醫生說我需要服用這些抗生素，我有細菌感染，還需要一些潤喉糖。

I don't know if you know what throat lozenges are, but they're like these little things that if you have a sore throat, you eat them.

我不知道你是否知道潤喉糖是什麼，但它們就像這些小東西，如果你喉嚨痛，你就吃它們。

And then the doctor said, don't talk, which is really hard for me.

然後醫生說，別說話，這對我來說真的很難。

They didn't say don't talk, they just said, avoid talking for long periods of time, and avoid talking loudly.

他們沒有說不要說話，只是說，避免長時間說話，避免大聲說話。

So I don't know if you can hear it, I still have a little bit of a sore throat.

不知道你們能不能聽出來，我的喉嚨還是有點疼。

I know, it's been like a month, so it was about time that I went to the doctor.

我知道，已經一個月了，所以我也該去看醫生了。

So this isn't really an English lesson, or can I turn it into one?

所以，這不是一堂真正的英語課，或者我可以把它變成一堂英語課？

Let's do that.

讓我們開始吧。

I had a sore throat, so I made an appointment to see the doctor.

我嗓子疼，於是預約了看醫生。

I called the doctor's office because I needed a doctor's appointment.

我給醫生辦公室打電話，因為我需要預約醫生。

I went to the doctor's appointment, and the doctor diagnosed me with a bacterial infection.

我去看了醫生，醫生診斷我得了細菌感染。

And then, that's what the doctor does when they figure out what's wrong with you, they diagnose.

然後，當醫生找出你的問題所在時，就會進行診斷。

And then the doctor said, the treatment, what I needed to do, is I needed to take antibiotics.

然後醫生說，我需要做的治療就是服用抗生素。

So I got a prescription, and I needed to go to the drugstore, pharmacy is another word for drugstore in Canada, and the drugstore filled my prescription.

所以我拿到了處方，我需要去藥店，藥店在加拿大是藥房的另一個詞，藥店給我開了處方。

That means I had to wait, and they put the pills in this pill bottle, and I was told to take, what does it say here, take one capsule three times a day for seven days.

這意味著我必須等待，他們把藥片裝在這個藥瓶裡，告訴我服用，這裡怎麼說的，每天三次，每次一粒，連續服用七天。

So I think I'm on day three or something like that.

所以，我想我現在已經是第三天了。

So prescription, that's when the doctor tells the pharmacy or drugstore they are allowed to give you drugs.

是以，處方就是醫生告訴藥房或藥店他們可以給你開藥。

And then I took them home, and I've been taking them.

然後我把它們帶回家，一直帶著它們。

I've been taking them as prescribed to help with my sore throat.

我一直遵醫囑服用，以緩解喉嚨痛。

So that's where I'm at.

這就是我現在的處境。

Let me see, what else can I teach you?

讓我想想，我還能教你什麼？

I didn't take any days off work, I haven't called in sick, even though I'm not supposed to talk a lot.

我沒有請假，也沒有請病假，儘管我不應該說很多話。

I can still teach my classes without talking too loudly, or without talking for too long of a period of time.

我仍然可以在上課時不大聲說話，也不長時間說話。

But I did have to not, not do a live stream last Friday, and I don't know if I'm going to be doing one this Friday as well.

但上週五我確實沒有做直播，我不知道本週五是否也要做直播。

It seems that if I raise my voice, that's when you talk louder than normal.

似乎只要我提高嗓門，你說話的聲音就會比平時大。

Or if I talk for a long period of time, that's when it gets a little bit sore.

或者如果我長時間說話，就會有點痠痛。

So are things getting better?

情況是否有所好轉？

That's the English term for, like if you're sick, and you want to be normal again, you say are you getting better?

這是一個英語術語，就像如果你生病了，你想恢復正常，你會說你好些了嗎？

I think I'm getting a little bit better.

我想我正在一點點好起來。

I do have less energy than normal, which is probably because I'm fighting off an infection.

我的體力確實比平時差，這可能是因為我正在抵抗感染。

When you have an infection, you fight off the infection, or you take some antibiotics to help you fight off the infection.

當你受到感染時，你會抵抗感染，或者服用一些抗生素來幫助你抵抗感染。

So I think I'm feeling a little bit better.

所以，我想我感覺好多了。

I'm just trying to think through, as an English lesson, did I use all the words that I need to use so that this is an effective, it's a little update for you, but also a little bit of a lesson.

我只是在想，作為一堂英語課，我是否用了所有需要用到的單詞，這樣才能讓這堂課有效，對你來說是一次小小的更新，同時也是一堂小小的課。

So I booked a doctor's appointment.

於是我預約了醫生。

I went to my doctor's appointment.

我去看醫生了。

The doctor prescribed some drugs or some medication.

醫生開了一些藥物或藥方。

We would use both words.

我們會同時使用這兩個詞。

I would just say some antibiotics or pills.

我只想說一些抗生素或藥片。

I went to the drugstore or pharmacy and had the prescription filled.

我去藥店或藥房配藥。

That means they gave it to me.

這意味著是他們給我的。

And I've been taking them as prescribed.

我一直遵醫囑服用。

So basically, following the instructions, taking three a day, about every eight hours apart.

是以，基本上是按照說明，每天服用三次，大約每隔八小時服用一次。

Does that make sense?

有道理嗎？

No.

不

It's got to be closer than that.

一定比這更接近。

How long are you awake for?

你要醒多久？

Yeah, that's about right.

對，差不多。

I take one in the morning when I get home from work and before I go to bed.

我每天早上下班回家後和睡覺前都會服用一次。

And then don't talk very much and take throat lozenges.

然後不要多說話，吃潤喉糖。

I think these work a little bit, although, I don't know, they're a little bit, I wish I had gotten a different flavor.

我覺得這些有點用，不過，我不知道，它們有點，我希望我買的是另一種口味。

These are honey and lemon.

這些是蜂蜜和檸檬。

I usually like honey and lemon.

我通常喜歡蜂蜜和檸檬。

What else have I been doing?

我還做了什麼？

What else can you do for a sore throat?

喉嚨痛還能怎麼治？

I probably should be drinking tea with honey.

我也許應該喝加蜂蜜的茶。

I haven't been doing that, but I will start.

我一直沒這麼做，但我會開始的。

Many of you will probably recommend that in the comments below.

你們中的許多人可能會在下面的評論中推薦這種方法。

So anyways, I'm still here.

總之，我還在這裡。

I know I haven't been making a lot of videos at all or doing live streams, but hey, that's the way life goes sometimes.

我知道我沒有製作很多視頻，也沒有進行直播，但生活有時就是這樣。

I'll get back to things when I can.

有機會我會再回來的。

Jen's been busy though.

不過，珍一直很忙。

You see all the baby plants out here.

你看這裡所有的植物寶寶。

It's pretty cool.

這很酷。

There's like tray, light racks over there with trays and trays and trays and lots to look at.

那邊的托盤、燈架上擺滿了托盤，托盤、托盤、托盤，看得人眼花繚亂。

Lots of signs of spring.

許多春天的跡象
