醫生懂得多
The Doctor Knows Better
A man was hit by a cab in the street. He was brought to the hospital.
His wife who was standing up by his bed, said to the doctor:“I think that he is very ill.”
“I am afraid that he is dead.”said the doctor.
Hearing this, the man moved his head and said: “I’m not dead. I’m still alive.”
“Be quiet,” said the wife. “the doctor knows better than you!”
一個男人在街上被出租車撞倒送進了醫院。他的妻子站在他的床前對醫生說:“我想他傷得很厲害。”
醫生說:“恐怕他已經死了。”
聽到醫生的話,這個男人轉動著頭說:“我沒死,我還活著。”
妻子說:“安靜,醫生比你懂得多。”
