MR. CROFT: Good morning, nurse. I want to see the dentist, please.
NURSE: Do you have an appointment? MR. CROFT: No, I don't. NURSE: Is it urgent?
MR. CROFT: Yes, it is. It's very urgent. I feel awful. I have a terrible toothache.
NURSE: Can you come at 10 a.m.on Monday, April 24th? MR. CROFT: I must see the dentist now, nurse.
NURSE: The dentist is very busy at the moment. Can you come at 2 p.m.?
MR. CROFT: That's very late. Can the dentist see me now?
NURSE: I'm afraid that he can't, Mr. Croft. Can't you wait till this afternoon?
MR. CROFT: I can wait, but my toothache can't!
护 士：早上好，克罗夫特先生。
克罗夫特先生：早上好，护士。我想见牙科医生。
护 士：您约好了吗? 克罗夫特先生：没有。 护 士：急吗?
克罗夫特先生：是的，很急。我难受极了，牙痛得要命。 护 士：您在4月24日星期一上午10点钟来行吗? 克罗夫特先生：我必须现在就见牙科医生，护士。 护 士：牙科医生这会儿很忙。您下午两点钟来行吗?
克罗夫特先生：那就太晚了。牙科医生现在就不能给我看一下吗?
护 士：恐怕不能，克罗夫特先生。您就不能等到今天下午吗?
克罗夫特先生：我倒是可以等。 可是我的牙痛等不了啊!
【知识点讲解】
1. Can't you wait till this afternoon? 这是情态动词的否定疑问句，表示请求。 2. a.m. 指上午;p.m. 下午。这种表达适用于12小时制的时间算法，如果使用24小时制的，到下午15点则直接写15就好，不用再15p.m.
