English Original
Henry, an American visiting London on holiday, felt unwell one day. He approached the hotel desk clerk and said, "I want to see a doctor. Can you give me the name of a good one?"
The clerk consulted a directory and replied, "Dr. Kenneth Grey, 61010."
"Thank you very much. Is he expensive?" Henry asked.
"Well," the clerk answered, "he charges two pounds for the first visit and one pound fifty for follow-up visits."
Henry decided to save fifty pence. When he saw the doctor, he announced, "I've come again, doctor."
The doctor studied his face for a moment, then nodded. "Oh, yes." After an examination, he said, "Everything's fine. Just continue with the medicine I gave you last time."

美国人亨利来伦敦度假。一天，他感到身体不适，便来到酒店前台询问服务员：“我想看医生，你能推荐一位好医生吗？”
服务员查了一下名录，回答说：“肯尼思·格雷医生，电话61010。”
“非常感谢。他收费贵吗？”亨利问。
“嗯，”服务员答道，“初诊收费2英镑，复诊收费1.5英镑。”
亨利决定省下50便士。见到医生时，他说道：“医生，我又来了。”
医生仔细端详了他的脸片刻，然后点点头说：“哦，是的。”检查完后，医生说：“一切正常。继续服用我上次给你的药就行。”
